Cornell lacrosse 2023

Really nice play at 12-9... a clean steal in the offensive zone as Penn was trying to pass it around after a ground ball. Led to a hard hit in front of the crease for a 2 minute non-releasable. Kirst with a nice goal 30 seconds in, but that was the only scoring on the man-up.

As I'm typing, Shipley scores for Penn to make it 13-10 with 2 minutes left in the third.

Good quarter, end of the 3rd.

Penn 10, Good Guys, 14.

Overall, Cornell looks like the better team, but Penn is not going anywhere.

CJ has Teat-like accuracy with his shots.

Kirst with a little French pastry, but alas no goal.

[mike1960]

2 turnovers in a row for Cornell. Getting sloppy with the ball. Handley blasts from 20.

Penn 11, Cornell 15. 10:47 to go in the 4th.

Win on the face by Petrakis. Numbers. Passes to CJ. Goal.

Penn 11, Cornell 16.

The refs have decided not to call the push in the back today.

18-12 final. Team looked real good from what I saw.

Petrakis to CJ was great - clean win and sprint to the goal on the faceoff, dish to a wide-open Kirst to snap it in. Dominant at the X too, but I don't know if that is a consistent Penn weak spot.

Final score: Penn 12, Cornell 18.

The team looked solid offensively in the second half without Long. They moved the ball well and found the open shooter with the extra pass. CJ is a great scorer, one of the best, if not the best, in the country. The Penn star Sam Handley scored three or so, but he did not light it up thanks to good play by Adler. Cornell did a great job at the faceoff and minimized the number of possessions for Penn. Cornell was beast-like on ground balls today. Ierlan made some terrific saves in the second half. The cameras actually followed the ball, and the lenses did not look like they were covered with Vaseline. Terrific win!

Long hurt again? That's not good

If Cornell wins faceoffs at this clip going forward (they won't), they'll win the national championship.

They said it was a game time decision, so we can only hope with this week off he'll be ready to go for the 2nd half of the season.

Game highlights. Confirms my impression that Anish and Quint spent more time talking to each other than doing the play-by-play.

I can't stand to watch them.  It's the Howard Cosell school of broadcasting.  Jabber, jabber, jabber.

But for what it's worth, the editing of that clip was horrendous, too.

Two great non-scoring plays got no comment because Quint and Anish were chatting.  CJ Kirst extended his stick high up and intercepted a Penn pass deep in their zone to steal a possession, and Wallace came in to double and physically turn away Handley when he was attempting to spin around Adler.  I'm a big fan of Wallace who plays a fierce, physical game.

But those faceoff guys, though...

The primary reason that I watch games with the mute button engaged.
