Cornell lacrosse 2025

What is the Ivy tie breaker to host

If Harvard beats Cornell and wins out
Cornell then wins out
Prin. wins out

tie breaker I guess would be goal diff. between the 3 teams

right now
Cornell + 5
Princ - 3
Harv -2

Cornell would need to lose by less than 4.

Cornell beat Harvard then win the host spot

My head tells me that goal differential should never be a factor in breaking ties, as the objective is to win the game, not humiliate the opponent.  My heart, however, says screw BU and Harvard, too.  Also Dartmouth!  I'll never forget listening to Cornell's 19-1 win over Yale at Ingalls Rink in 1968.  Ned's teams took no prisoners!

I think the answer is to beat Harvard.

Our Resume is good not great

lose to Harv and then not win the Ivy makes the Syracuse game mean even more

Beat Syracuse and have 3 losses we still get in

Lose to Syr and then lose 2 ivy late and a 4 loss team is back on the bubble

... this sounds like hockey. Wyatt Knust needs to do an Ian Shane late-season metamorphosis and we're good. I still like the beat-Syracuse, beat-Harvard route.

The Saturday weather forecast for Uniondale in Lon Guyland is 53 degrees and rain. Better than cold and rain, but not ideal for our style of play.

I wonder to what extent the wet field at Brown contributed to our offensive problems on Saturday. Errant passes, slipping, etc.

Not great for Syracuse, a dome team, either

True. I haven't watched a lot of Syracuse lacrosse this year, but they don't seem to move the ball the way we like to do. Last week, we saw passes fly out of bounds from the sticks of Long, Kirst, and others. The field is turf, so footing should not be a major problem.

Cornell remains #1 in the media poll via Inside Lacrosse (the coaches poll arrives on Caribbean time). Big slips by Maryland and Notre Dame. Ohio State replaces the Terps at #2. Last week Maryland also got (5) first-place votes. This week Cornell gets all but 2. Are we that good?

Lax All Stars / Quint Kessenich's Top 20: April 7, 2025  https://laxallstars.com/quint-kessenichs-top-20-april-7-2025

1) Cornell
Big Red (9-1) handled Albany 18-11 on Tuesday with their dynamic attack trio accounting for 16 points. Brendan Staub, Jayson Singer, and Matt Dooley anchor the close defense. Against Brown on Saturday, the toll of the two-game week showed as Cornell needed a late 4-1 push to secure a 13-9 win. FOGO Jack Cascadden had a day, going 15-of-22 with seven ground balls and a goal.

Now it's time to embrace the moment. 'Hard Hat 21' travels to Long Island to face Syracuse on Saturday. Big Red's RPI still trails their poll ranking. CJ Kirst continues to put up Tewaaraton-level numbers, averaging over five goals per game. Michael Long is shooting 47% for the nation's top-scoring offense. Face-offs and defensive stops will be key in this heavyweight bout.

2) Ohio State
3) Princeton
4) Syracuse ... Now sitting at (9-2) with serious momentum, the swag kings head to Long Island to face Cornell. Joey Spallina and company are going back home. This one's going to be epic.
5) Army

We also played Richmond.

That one Princeton voter is sticking to their guns, huh.

[billhoward]

Makes me think Cornell made a good decision to play Richmond. Wish we had Colgate back on the schedule and also Army. I think the Kaydets are likely to be top-twenty more years than not. (What happened to Navy???) Not playing Albany, Binghamton and Stony Brook looks good currently; I think Binghamton is least likely to rise up, too bad, I'd like to see another powerful NYS school within a 90-minute drive, meaning it's a single-day trip for the visitor. Lehigh looked like a good opponent when they were very low teens / also mention early but not now. Denver was #12 I believe when we played them, not they're an also-mention.

Obviously, the coaching staff wants good opponents, also realizes early in the year, it may mean playing a top-ten team as our second and their fourth or fifth game.

Syracuse is always good. I  hope they got away from thinking they needed to play the Tigers but not us. Princeton-Cornell is always good and it should be the last game of the season, like Harvard-Yale on the gridiron.

How on earth do you register on fanlax? I've tried to to make an account multiple times but the confirmation question says "Paul and Gary's last name. 4 letters." I've tried putting random stuff but it says invalid answer. I don't think I'm a robot but I cannot decipher what that means

Did you try Gait?

The answer is directly related to Cornell's opponent this weekend

Never heard of the lads unfortunately, my lacrosse knowledge starts in 2022 pretty much. I guess it does well to keep the median age of the forum above 60. Thanks guys.
