Cornell lacrosse 2025

[ER]

Live thoughts:

1) It's cold as FUCK
2) Do goalies just suck in lacrosse?
3) How is a hit to head only 1 minute?
4) We don't chant red during the anthem?
5) The sideline is loud as hell
6) Why's the goalie the only one who gets to wear real pants and a sweater?
7) Don't they get cold???
Tracking the ball is harder than tracking the puck in hockey.
9) Those dudes with crutches showing up on the sideline for the team. Respect. Freezing their asses off too, I bet. At least they get coats.
10) Hey our goalie made some cool saves! Can they body block? Why don't they body block?

The goalie stands around hence they get to wear more. The other guys are running nonstop. You don't really get cold when you're running. Also, the ball hurts when it hits you. Would you want to block it with your body with little kit on?

Can't they wear padding for that? This sport is confusing lol

Good job on the man down.

I don't know how many times we're going to leave the opponent with free hands on the weak side 5x5. Quite a few goals scored from there on us this year.

6-3 Cornell.

Live thoughts 2:

11) Tompkins trust shuffle, feels like I'm back in Lynah already
12) Taunting from the bench after a goal is appreciated
13) Kirst from Firth, Kirst from Firth
14) GET BACK IN YOUR CREASE GOALIE
15) Is lacrosse just slower?
16) Isn't it like, nearly impossible to strip someone of the ball? Given it's in the stick.
17) The guys who stand in the other zone while the rest of the team attacks - don't they get bored? Do they chat with each other?
18) Wait is their penalty box literally just kneeling on the sideline?
19) Again why is a HIT TO THE HEAD a 60 second penalty? And a push is 30? And a slash is 60?
20) Why are there so many timeouts??

6-4 Cornell at the half.

My intro to lacrosse (while growing up in SoCal in the 70s) was an article in Sports Illustrated about Cornell Lax. They quoted the goalie as saying something like "I don't feel that I've played well unless my body is covered with bruises after the game from stopping shots"

It appears to me that Cascadden is in good position to win more face offs, but is just unable to scoop up the ball.

[upprdeck]

Cornell really not doing well on ground balls in general

Offense takes so long to get to shooting spots

Cornell for a team that scores and gets a ton of possession really gets almost no calls to go on the man up.  5 games and not even 10 chances yet

[mike1960]

Defensive mistakes and penalties. We have a championship caliber offense. The defense needs to step it up.

[mike1960]

Tim Goldstein has been terrific at X, but I have to say, Mikey Long is so at ease back there, it looks like he was born to play that position.

[mike1960]

First interference call I've seen in a while.

Melkonian has mad skillz,  as the kids would say.

[Al DeFlorio]

Wasted possessions

Damnnn, okay. Maybe I misjudged but it feels like only stick blocks.

Live thoughts 3:

21) Gloves help a lot with the Cold
22) Powerplay time! They don't call it that though. When do they get back on the field after? Can't tell.
23) Flopping is appreciated. Like soccer.
24) No nameplates on jerseys makes it tough.
25) Why don't more of the sideline guys wear coats???
26) The tradition of yelling at refs extends to every sport.
27) They celebrate saves more than goals
28) Do they just never have faceoffs?
29) God damn, MORE timeouts?
30) Is the field wet? Looks it.

[Chousnake]

Faceoffs a problem in the second half
