Quote from: TrotskyIs anyone else irrationally infuriated when sites list games scores like this?

Yes, I know, it's ubiquitous in Europe and for all I know the way I am used to is probably unique to North America.   But just because you're biased doesn't mean you're wrong.  I fervidly maintain that when you are listing a team's results you should put them first, because it is from their POV.  It makes it simple to scan the list quickly for patterns.
And then it's one further step to "these are shithole countries and should be annexed, made the 52nd State" (I believe we've got State 51 lined up although it does have about 50 electoral votes so ....)

A couple of the lax sites are having trouble parsing data tables thus you see empty space when a team has zero wins or zero losses. Below.

Some colleges (and Cornell Alumni Magazine, RIP) always put the Cornell score first as in, Cornell lost a closely contested basketball game, ultimately falling to Dartmouth 49 to 88.

it is so chaotic to go with home-team-first on *your own team site*.

Start with W or L then either winning team first or your team first. Either is fine. *bangs gavel*

Quote from: Al DeFlorioArmy 12, Yale 3 after 3
Final score 14-3. I braved the cold to go to the game and enjoyed every second of it, as Yale looked terrible.
Army set the tone by winning the opening faceoff and scoring just four seconds into the game. It was 7-0 before Yale scored a transition goal off a faceoff late in the first period. Yale got it to 7-2 early in the second period, but that was the closest it came.
My favorite plays were when Army intercepted a sloppy pass by a Yale defenseman, giving the Cadets a 2-0 breakaway; and another play where a Yale long-stick defender lost his stick near midfield while Army was in possession. The Army player realized what had happened and raced toward the goal and scored as I was chanting "stick-less" to myself.
The Army goalie played well, making 16 saves, but it was still surprising to see Yale's offense looking so bad after it has been such an explosive team for many years.
Yale is now 0-2, and Army is 3-0. Coming into the game, Army was ranked No. 8 and Yale No. 16, so this didn't qualify as an upset. But few could have expected Army to win so convincingly.

it made the line of Army -1.5 look bad as well.

Pretty awful start in non conference play from the ivies and we need to turn it around fast because you don't get too much of it in lacrosse. A win this weekend against Denver would be big to allow us some margin of error through the rest of the season.

Hard agree here. Ivy losses (and maybe wins) will not be looked at kindly at the end of the year. Need to really focus on getting these non-conference wins

Tomorrow, I'd like to see a disciplined, tough, shut-down defensive effort. If we want to achieve our goals, we're going to need this all year. If the O has an off day (and we had a couple last year), the D can always bring the wood and keep us close.

Scratch that.  Athletics website now says 11:30 AM.


ESPN+ says game starts at 11:30 AM.  Athletics website says 11 AM.  Does anyone know if the game is underway?

It's starting right now (11:30)

Cornell coming out strong. Good ball movement.

3-0 Good guys, first quarter, time out

It looks like Denver might change goalies.

mike1960

Bozzi let the Denver midfielder get topside. He needs to shade the ballcarrier and push him down the lane.

3-1 Cornell.

mike1960

Cornell 6-1 at the end of the first.

Cascadden is winning faceoffs. Goldstein playing really well at the X, fearlessly passing around the field. CJ is playing unselfishly and keeping the offense humming.

Pretty much a beat down so far, Denver has had 2 goalie changes and the second quarter has barely started
