[LAX] Cornell vs Navy NCAA QF Game thread

[Rosey]

Biggest problem to my eyes was the sheer number of turnovers.  In the 4th quarter alone, Cornell must have turned over the ball at least three times, and as it seems possessions in lacrosse are much longer than in hockey, a turnover is a huge deal. :-P

Navy seemed like a much better team overall: their possessions were longer, they relied less on the skill of their goalie and more on team defense, faceoffs, and forcing turnovers.  This isn't to say Cornell's isn't a skilled team, but they just don't have the depth Navy has.  (Lack of depth is a criticism I've also levelled at the hockey team, FWIW.)

Next year.

Cheers,
Kyle

ESPN had a brief segment on the #21 tribute and a few highlights from the QF game vs. Navy.

Anyone who missed the game yesterday can see a delayed broadcast on NESN tonight, May 24, at 9pm EDT.

With all the credit deservedly given McMonagle, it shouldn't be forgotten that Navy's Russell made at least three big-time stops in the first quarter, or Cornell could have jumped out to an early two-or-three-goal lead, perhaps changing the complexion of the rest of the game.
