Cornell lacrosse Princeton 4/29/23 noon

[mike1960]

I thought Long was a junior. ... Any chance he can or will stick around for a year?

Per poster VeryRustyRed at fanlax:

the "front line" graduating players are Ierlan, Adler, Coyle, and Lombardi.
I'm not sure about Petrakis.
Long returns - his entry class graduates, but he took an LOA.

Great news! Thanks!

I would be curious to see what Abladian could do playing with Long and CJ.

Just a thought.

And per fanlax poster laxfan1313:

Lombardi will be returning next year.

Glad all these lax players are returning but I'm sad the hockey players couldn't manage the same. Also bummer that Teat and Donville didn't opt to extend their Cornell careers. Subtract Donville from Maryland and add him to Cornell last year and...well...you do the math...

I'm very disappointed in Donville. No longer a fan.

If you had offered to pay his tuition, maybe Donville would have stayed.

While admittedly knowing nothing about the actual machinations necessary to extend their academic path within the Ivy guidelines, I would think lacrosse players have the benefit of having their entire season contained in a single semester, unlike the winter sports where it's spread over both.

AFAIK they had both exhausted their Ivy eligibility, which is different than their NCAA eligibility.

You may be right about Teat, who was class of '20. (Did the 2020 season count towards the four years of Ivy eligibility?) But Donville was '21, same class as Piatelli, who played for Cornell last season, so Donville could have returned rather than transfer.

The Daily Princetonian offered predictions on this game (which I did not see until well after the game ended.)  Two out of the three staff members in the article picked Cornell to win, but the one that didn't wrote this:

The Big Red will struggle to contain Mackesy

::uptosomething::  Adler is such a great player.

[woodpile]

So much for predictions, though I doubt many could have forseen the throttling that Adler laid on young Coulter.  It will be interesting to see what the Princetonian clairvoyants will say should there be a rematch next Sunday.  You would have to believe that Adler has taken up residence in the poor kid's head rent-free.

According to Cornell's online alumni directory, Donville received his AB (Government, History) in 2021, so he played at Maryland as a grad student.  Piatelli apparently took an LOA and received his BS (Applied Economics and Management) in 2022.

No. 6 Cornell Outlasts No. 13 Princeton in Overtime to Claim 31st Ivy League Title

PRINCETON, N.J. – Sixth-ranked Cornell's Aiden Blake netted the game-winner 1:37 into overtime to lift the Big Red to a 14-13 victory over 17th-ranked Princeton to claim it's 31st-overall Ivy League Championship on Saturday at Schoellkopf Field.

Seems quite harsh, considering how the Ivies screwed the pooch for those guys. Donville, following on the heals of his brother, gave a lot to the Cornell program, got his degree, and then did a grad year. He owed Cornell nothing.
