CORNELL WINS 2025 MENS LACROSSE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!

[mike1960]

Last week, Walker Wallace, a first-team All-Ivy League long stick midfielder, helped the Cornell men's lacrosse team win the national title. Now, the Richmond native is transferring to #UVa to play football. He will be a tight end for the Cavaliers.

To play football??

Yes, for football. Several lacrosse players have made the switch, most famously Chris Hogan, a Penn State midfielder who did a grad year playing football at Monmouth and then went on to have a decent pro career as a wide receiver.

We had a wrestler, Ben Honis, who played linebacker (well, special teams) at Syracuse for his grad school year.

Wow. The more you know. Didn't Wallace also switch positions in lacrosse at some point? Feels like I recall that.

I mean it's probably difficult to go play lacrosse somewhere else after winning the NC, so probably best to play a different sport entirely. Guess he doesn't play hockey like his brother?

I think Walker Wallace came to the team as a goalie.

I thought Winter and Walker Wallace were unrelated?

I think it started as a joke but was taken seriously. Walker from Virginia; Winter from Colorado.

They still could be brothers. ::innocent::

Brother from another mother.

I don't know if this play from the MD game has been discussed. With seconds to go in the first half, Knust was out of the goal and a MD player got the ground ball and had a free shot at the goal, but Andrew Dalton jumps up and blocks the shot WITH HIS HELMET! Then he walks off and nods his head at the MD shooter as if to say "that's all you got"?
Huge play, would have ties the game and given MD a huge boost going into halftime.
As you can tell, I can't stop watching this game.

Yes that could have been a pivotal momentum changing play. Hyping up Maryland as they enter the half and perhaps a deflating confidence downer for Cornell.

And in full 1080 HD, nice. I think ESPN+ only keeps videos available on demand for a relatively short amount of time, hopefully this YouTube video stays up indefinitely.

All time keeper.

Can we also remove the way the announcer adds extra syllable to words ending with a consonant sound?  Game-muh. Off the netting-guh.

I've been listening to podcasts about championship weekend, and almost universally, commentators have been happy for the Cornell win. Part of the reason is the length of time between championships. Another is the culture and tradition of the program. Also, players they've interviewed have given thoughtful and respectful answers to questions. It's been very satisfying to hear how the program has put such a positive step forward.

Pretty much everyone wanted us to win. Even the Maryland fans sound happy for us.

They endured a similar drought.
