Cornell wins in a nail bitter 16-15 over Penn State.

Tougher than expected--I'll take it.  Yale and Penn up next.  This may be the first year I can remember that our in league games will raise our strength of schedule more than our out of league games.  Ivy League is a beast this year, and it is great to see after two lost seasons.

I think playing inside because of the weather certainly didn't do Cornell any favors.  Glad they won.

I am curious -- were any posters at the game?  How much snow has fallen in State College?  Are conditions horrendous?  I realize that hindsight is always 20/20 but could this game have been played outdoors?

I had a similar thought. I've been unable to find save % on any lacrosse data site. But it seemed to me Ierlan was saving a lower % of shots than usual. I wondered if he was having some difficulty seeing the ball indoors.

BTW & FWIW, it was great that while doing my taxes I could just say, "Alexa, play WHCU!" and hear the entire game. Hopefully, tonight I'll be done with Uncle $am's pound of flesh and be able to watch tonight's game on ESPN+.

Weather Channel app says 6 inches in the past 24 hours.

Parents in town who were forced to listen instead? Broadcasters? Staff members? [god forbid] players?  Just askin!

Where did you all watch the game? I thought it wasn't available?

Very thankful for the win.

Is Barry Leonard ok? That was the most muted and un-energenic end-of-game call in a squeaker. I almost felt I mistook the Q4 for Q3.

We got about 4" so far in Allentown.  State College was supposed to get a bit more than us.

I didn't listen today, but Barry Leonard is solid. He has a couple of really good commentators, Howie Borkan and Tom LaFalce. I try to sync WHCU to live tv games. The only drawback is the radio feed often has long series of obnoxious commercials.

Since they were broadcasting from a practice facility, I suspect it wasn't the greatest setup.  For all we know Barry could have been next to the PSU team on the sideline and may have toned it down unconsciously....
