Men's lax: CU-Notre Dame Sunday 4/14/24

[billhoward]

Cornell vs. #1 Notre Dame, Sunday 4/14 12:30 on Long Island at Bethpage Federal Credit Union Stadium (LIU Stadium), Old Westbury. Seats "over 6,000."  Tickets via Cornell link, $25 including parking. HS game Manhasset vs Shoreham Wading River boys lax follows. Be worth getting tickets in advance. The Irish have a large NYC contingent, it could sell out.

Notre Dame has been #1 all season. One loss early, Feb. 25, 11-10 OT to Georgetown, at home. Wins of 3 goals or less, all in the last 4 games:
13-10 @ Ohio State
14-12 Syracuse
15-12 @ Duke

Major implications for raising our ranking, RPI and playoff seeding. Media Poll has us #8 and the top Ivy after Syracuse and Brown games. RPI has us #10, Yale #8.

I didn't watch a lot of the ND-Duke program, but ND is super fast. I think one of their middies is a wide receiver on the football team. We're going to need to be really good on our slides, shows, and recoveries.

On the other hand, I think we can score on these guys. I hope CJ and Long get going early.

Sorry to post this here, but the Ticket Exchange is essentially for hockey, and that season is kaputsky. If anyone wants two free tickets (single QR code in email) for today's incredible Lax tilt, text me at 646-234-0793. My loss is your gain. If I don't respond within 30 minutes, the tix are gone.

Who picked this broadcast team?  Thought C was home team.

Looks like we're using CJ in a different way. Good imaginative coaching!

Yeah I haven't watched Notre dame before this but their goalie is really damn good.

[mike1960]

Come on, guys. Stop the ball.

[mike1960]

Late slide.

6-3 Notre Dame, end of the first quarter.
Big shooters from Notre Dame. We need to get sticks on those guys.

Been a problem all season.

We're just not locking up on defense.

[mike1960]

The last man advantage Mikey Long had an open shot and didn't take it. I think we're working too hard for the perfect shot.

[chimpfood]

Knust has to have some of these.

11-7 ND at the half.

If we can tighten up on defense, we can win this game.

If we can tighten up on defense, we can win this game.

We've wasted a couple of great saves through bad clears. Sure, ND's good at riding, but we're throwing it away too often.

I can see a path for a comeback.
