Two shots over Tully's shoulder from the wing.

6-5 going into the 4th.

[mike1960]

Beautiful bounce shot by Waldman from the wing.

7-5

[mike1960]

Staub taps the cutter on the back with his stick as the Spider goes in front of the goal, receives the pass, and scores.

7-6 Cornell.

[mike1960]

Cascadden is having more success with the basic clamp and control. His rake was not getting it done.

[Iceberg]

These two schools are also playing each other in baseball, and I actually hit the link for that game at first. Didn't realize the season started this early for the Ivys

[mike1960]

That really was a cheap shot against Goldstein. Blindsided. The Spiders are lucky that's releasable.

[mike1960]

Richmond killed the penalty.

Third goal from the wing. High to high on Tully.

All tied 7-7 

4:43 left in the game.

[mike1960]

Richmond 8 Cornell 7

13.4 seconds left.

maybe heading to Penn State we can get better officiating in a Big10 venue

Setting aside the complete implosion on faceoffs, this team does not have enough offensive firepower without at least one of Nurry or Nikolic.

[mike1960]

Richmond wins 8-7.

They earned it. They played great defense on possession after possession, killing man up opportunities in the process. They are rated #3 for a reason.

We missed Rowyn Nurry, but even so we need to find more offense without him. For whatever reason, we have decided this season to pass up all fast break opportunities. I think we are leaving goals on the field if we don't look for them.

Looking forward to more indepth insights from those more knowledgeable than me
But hopefully Nikolic and and Nurry can rehab and be available sooner than later

Tully was very good, particularly in the 1st half when Cornell couldnt win a FO to save their life

With the roster healthy I think the upside on this team is very good. seeing underclassmen really take the next step. Lamb and Gilmartin both had excellent games to my eye. D had some lapses, but that is a good Richmond offense and they caused their share of shot clock violations. We miss the riding strength of Kirst and Long. I noted Perfetto seemed lost in the ride, 2 of the next 3 clear attempts he was more active and Richmond struggled.

I think you are right on with your analysis. I saw in the notes that CJ was ranked 4th in caused turnovers in the history of Cornell lacrosse. That's insane for someone playing attack.

Last year, when a defense locked us down, we could count on CJ to bail us out. We need to figure something else out. I thought sending cutters would create some offense, but Richmond did a terrific job checking our sticks as the ball arrived. We missed some shots, took some poor ones. A lot of credit to that Richmond defense.
