Cornell lacrosse 2025

I've whined a lot here about the TV coverage. It's been excellent today. The camera operator is giving us a great view of the field. And it's an absolute treat hearing Dom Starsia talk about a lacrosse game.

8-10 Richmond ahead at the end of the third.

The Spiders defense is giving us trouble. Our coaches need to identify a weakness and exploit it.

Offense struggling a la Penn games last year

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Nice rebound and shot by Hugh Kelleher.

11-11 tied. Cornell with the ball. 5 minutes left.

CJ is looking to get more involved right now.

12-11 Cornell

We didn't play for a good shot on our possession with 2:30 minutes left. We just ran out the shot clock. I hope that wasn't a mistake.

12-11 Cornell win.

Whew.

Red survive, Long with the game winning goal on a terrific dodge from X

How could it not be?  One goal lead in a faceoff game?


Ugly, but a win.

[Iceberg]

Great game for Michael Long. It would be nice to not spot the other team a decent lead though!

Left handed!

So many bad passes and empty possessions we never got rolling.

Starsia was football player at Valley Stream HS who picked up lacrosse when he matriculated Brown. Brown at the time had a goalie who sat down and reclined against the goal pipe when the ball was in the other end. Maybe he was against the Vietnam War but as an athlete was too busy for any other sit-down/sit-in. But no matter, we beat Bruno 10-8 in the run to the 1970-71 NCAA championship, then Army 17-16 in the semifinal -- our two Northern opponents -- then doubled up Maryland in the title game.

Starsia is an absolutely sensational color guy. Sorry, Chico Resch.

strange game, was trying to remember the last time I saw a contest with a total of zero man up situations
(not saying that Cornell didnt have some no-calls, were certainly a few pushes and moving picks I thought Richmond got away with)

Casscadan won a ton of faceoffs cleanly out the front, and then bobbled the scoop leading to an eventual Richmond groundball
Is this a technique issue? Stick head well suited to controlling the clamp but not securing the GB?

Cornell got away with a penalty on a possession push, but other than that, I didn't see a lot of missed calls. To me, it felt like a clean, well-reffed game.

About Cascadden's stick, that could definitely be an issue. Like a lot of FOGO guys, he's not super proficient handling the ball, especially with D1 defensive guys whacking on him. Hence the GO in FOGO.
