Like playing in an abandoned zeppelin hangar.

What does the announcer mean by a "stick penalty"?

Use of a stick that doesn't meet specs, usually because the pocket of the netting is too deep.

Ok, thanks! I think that's non-releasable.

At present, there is just one ACC team in the top 8 'at-large' slots in RPI (after Maryland, Princeton and Georgetown take Conference slots).  Of course, the committee will still figure out a way to get 3 or 4 ACC teams in the tournament because the ACC is always, by definition, the strongest conference, despite on-field results. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/lacrosse-men/d1/ncaa-mens-lacrosse-rpi

I just scared my dog I yelled so loud.

What a great win!

I just gotta say that I sincerely love having mike1960's energy around here. I enjoy reading through his chat sessions during games, even though I'm often reading them after-the-fact. Thanks for joining us here, mike.

i am enjoying the wins but resolutely not getting my hopes up given the razor-thin margins of victory. it's fun though!

Thanks! It's nice to find a place on the net where a group of folks can talk about Big Red lacrosse!

Just in case some here don't know, there is an active group of Cornell lax fans (including at least a couple of former Cornell lax players) at fanlax.com.

Heading down to Ithaca for Saturday's game against Army... first time on campus in probably 5 years
Any benefit to buying tickets in advance versus at the gate?

Saw Army play Cuse (my sister is a season ticket holder) and they will be a tough opponent
Adler will have another challenging assignment shutting down their top attack, and they bring and use a large roster (Westpoint website has 66 guys listed with uniform numbers)
Scanning their roster page, looks like they also have a Cornell connection on the coaching staff, Kyle Georgalas

with decent weather might be an OK crowd.. buying ahead means skipping that small line I suspect.

I'm embarrassed to say how many times I've watched that OT goal to beat Syracuse. I wish we could have had a mike in the huddle. It looks like they wanted to get CJ to GLE and draw a double team, and then a quick pass to Coyle and then to Kelleher for the step down. As soon as Coyle took the pass, he knew exactly where Kelleher would be and passed it to optimum shooting position by Kelleher's head. It was a thing of beauty.

It was indeed a thing of beauty, but my guess is that it was not scripted at that level. Kirst looks to me like he's just moving the ball on because he was stymied at GLE, and then Coyle is just moving it on, and then Kelleher sees an opportunity to shoot because no defender is on him.

Either way, scripted or just heads-up play, it was a fantastic end to the game.

As that final sequence started, Ryan Boyle said "watch out for Kelleher here; we weren't able to get totally into the huddle."
