Good start with Princeton in town. Waldman to [NAME I FORGOT] and Kirst to Goldstein to go up 2-1. Both really nice passes to guys who were all alone. Knust witn an early save.

Great game so far. Good play on both sides. Princeton tried to get up top early and scored one. Cornell D has been much better playing tough in front of the goal from 10-15.

Looks like Princeton might have a little weakness keeping track of the X. Let's see if we can get a couple more to Goldstein on the doorstep.

5-2 Good Guys.

Great play so far. It looks like Cornell might have the edge on speed with our short sticks on offense.

Willem Firth might be our next superstar. He's pretty darned good.

5-2 end of Q1. Red D looking way better than last week.

It's still the first 55 minutes and we have a full compliment on the field but so far so good!

Jesus Kirst down the alley and hits a narrow angle for a goal. Ties the great Mike French for goals scored!

Wyatt has had a great same so far.

We've been successful on ground balls and getting to the end lines on shots. Some sloppy passes though and turnovers.

First chance I've had to tune in this year, and I was just thinking that. The espn+ feed is in that glitchy digital scanning mode again.

P improving at the X and scoring more as a result.

8-6 at the half. 1:00 EMO to start the second half. Is that releasable?

Tiger Goalie has kept this game close given the close shots cornell has not put home.

A good solid half of play. Wyatt has made some quality saves. We're patient on offense and getting good shots. Our defense has played well for the most part, but mental lapses even for a second can lead to goals, e.g., Mackasey free hands at top right for Princeton's 4th goal. We are being very judicious on our slides today, and it's working well.

We had another unfortunate penalty (cross check) that led to an EMO goal, thankfully not a non-releasable. We need to remember we're playing lacrosse, not who's the tough guy.

About even on faceoffs. That's about where we need to be to stop the runs. I like the name Melkonian. It sounds like something from the Periodic Chart of Elements.

11-9 Cornell. End of the 3rd.
