Looks like it will be espn+.

Three penalties first six minutes vs. Albany.

Tim Graham's been doing a nice job as FOGO so far. Chase Ierlan has been solid. The slide defense has been terrific, esp. on Nanticoke. They're taking too many shots from outside. A little more patience for the good shot might work better.

I'm watching the wrestling against Binghamton but needless to say that after the general negativity I was surprised to see that the halftime score is Cornell 7, Albany 3.

7-3 at the half. Team looking quite impressive for the first game of the season. Not a lot to criticize.

They've played well so far. It's nice hearing a lot of familiar names. It feels like this is a good veteran team.

Cornell completely dominating, winning every faceoff, scoring at will. Now 14-3 with 5 min to go in the 3rd

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

19-10 final.

Teat did not have a high-scoring game and he wasn't locked off, but he team still scored a lot of goals. I think this bodes well for the season when other players create opportunities and take advantage of them. Michael Long, the freshman, looked really good in X. He forced a couple of passes and turned the ball over, but for his first game I think he did well. The defense kind of let down in the fourth and didn't press on the outside shots. Also, the defense allowed a couple of back door and front door scores. This was an issue last year as well. Those are slam dunks and cry for a solution. It's hard to say how well Raz, Tim Graham, and Petrakis, the freshman, performed at FOGO. I have a feeling the Albany FOGOs are not that strong. We'll see in future games. Great start for the season!  Here we go again!

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

14 or 15 goals scored by middies/FoGo.  That works for me, especially when people think Teat is our main weapon.

teat had 1-4 but we had like 1 assist on the first 10+ goals so the numbers were gonna be low.

Best collection of middies we've had in years.  We have two legit midfield lines, and another excellent player, Joe Wolf, who was out today.  Once Long gets better acclimated and the attack begins to click, watch out.

Agree that Albany's FOGO situation looks bad, but all of our guys did a solid job. No real quibble with the defense until the game was out of hand; Albany has some weapons, and they were largely neutralized when it mattered. And Ierlan made a number of big saves while the game was still a contest.

Very encouraging start, although there's some sloppiness that you would expect for a season opener.

I wondered why I didn't see Wolf's name.  He's an Allentown kid, and I'm looking for good things from him.

I believe Wolf did actually get some time later in the game.

I was really glad I could watch the game on ESPN+. But the extreme homer announcer really put me off. If I'm paying for a streaming sports channel, I expect more professionalism.

OTOH, I learned something. I learned that Albany's campus, with its Rockefeller-era architectural brutalism that ranks #12 among the 50 ugliest campuses in the U.S., is "beautiful" in some eyes.
