Cornell Men’s Lacrosse - Max Seibald

[JasonN95]

I mentioned in one of the recent lacrosse threads that the most memorable CU lacrosse play for me was Max Seibald's trail check in OT vs Albany in the 2007 NCAA quarterfinal that lead to CU's winning goal, and that I had video of it from the broadcast. I finally uploaded that video plus another 2007 Seibald highlight I had. Sorry for the low resolution; the videos were captured using some basic-even-for-the-time video capture hardware from a standard definition source.

Awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to upload

Might as well say this here...

Following our win this past Monday I reengaged with the 2009 title game loss for basically the first time since it happened. With a few minutes to go on the broadcast of this year's title game they showed the worst parts of the 2009 game. That, plus the fact we finally got the monkey off our back, made me believe it couldn't hurt me that badly to click a link I saw on YouTube called "Craziest Lacrosse Ending Ever." I was wrong. It was horrible. One of the best parts of this championship is that we won't have to think about 2009 anymore.

So great to see both of these memorable moments again! Thanks very much.

I was at the Albany game and remember watching the Syracuse game live.

Just to show how unreliable memory was, I had it in my head that this trail check happened near the end of regulation and led to a goal forcing OT, but here it is plain as day that it was near the end of the OT period. I can still hear Howie's usual call for "J. G. Johnny Glynn!" all season long.

And that bull-rush to net at the Dome...wow. I love the incredulous looks on the SU faces. That is now sharing space in my brain with Goldstein spinning off his defender from the corner in the first half Monday.

Seibald was always at the top of "the best I ever saw" list, being a do-everything tough-as-nails middie. Put Kirst side-by-side, but on attack.

Speaking of "do everything", I saw a Seibald highlight reel where he was taking faceoffs for Cornell, too. Wow, I did not remember that.

Took three in the second half of that Albany quarterfinal and brought Cornell back from a two-goal deficit.  Lost two of the three.  On one of the ones he lost, he hounded the guy who picked it up and forced a weak pass toward the Albany goalie that Hurley picked off and then dunked for a goal.  On the second one he lost, he chased down the Albany guy who picked it up and stripped him of the ball for a turnover.  He was something else.

Favorite part of both was the goalie breaking his stick (or trying).

I don't remember this team having a true FOGO, and felt the vast majority of the draws that year were taken by John Glynn. I believe it was late in this season where he had a broken arm or some other arm injury, yet continued to take the draws (and do pretty well) with essentially one arm.

Yes. I recall him taking and winning draws to fuel the comeback against Duke in Baltimore.

That was the year Delaware had the unreal fogo who more or less single handedly beat uva(?) before falling to Hopkins.
