 Nice riffs on SU lacrosse's sacred 22, John and Ben.

One link in the 22 chain was left out. In between Gary Gait and Casey Powell was Charlie "Laser" Lockwood, a four-time All America with a nasty shot who scored nearly 100 goals in his career. On an SU scale, 100 goals is piffling, but he was an iconic player who played a big part in creating the 22 mythology.[/q]

Yeah, I thought it might have beenWest Genny's own Charlie Lockwood but I couldn't remember and it was bedtime.

ObCornell content: In 1994, my friend Sarah and I went to the SU-Cornell Basketball game at the Dome. I took Cornell and 35 points.

During the game, some brave sole from the Cornell band ran a lap of the dome holding a giant safety school banner with about 20 SU fans chasing after him. Of course, on the court, the game was no contest. But in the waning moments of the game, the Big Red were holding the Orangemen within 32 or 34.  I looked like I might win my bet with Sarah.

Then Boeheim put walk-on Charlie Lockwood into the game. With mere seconds left on the clock, Lockwood hit a jumper to put SU up by 36. The SU fans went nuts, like he'd just scored a late ENG to seal the deal or something. And I lost my bet.

in ontario, and all other parts of canada that i know, a 'case' is 12, and a 'two-four' is a 24 pack or a 'case' as we call it down south

Finally got the little one to sleep. Phew.

In the 4th quarter from Ithaca, it's Cornell 10 - Notre Dame 6

According to Jason Weinstein on WTKO, Cornell has scored seven straight goals. Greenhalgh just got his fifth (?).

ND scores two in a row to stop the bleeding. 10-8 Cornell with 8:40 remaining in the game. Timeout CU.

[Hillel Hoffmann]

Mitchell scores (his first ever) on a great feed from Nee after three minutes of possession following a solid Nelson FO win (Pisco with nice wing GB): 11-8 Cornell.

[Hillel Hoffmann]

McMonagle coming up big late in the 4th quarter. Several saves in last few minutes. 3:30 left. Still 11-8.

[Hillel Hoffmann]

ND scores man-up goal: 11-9 CU, 2:43 left.

[Hillel Hoffmann]

ND's Jim Morrison (sic) scores with just under 0:45 left. CU 11-10. Gulp. Timeout ND.

[Hillel Hoffmann]

Cornell wins 11-10.

Whew! Sounds like a nailbiter. Great way to start the season though. GO BIG RED LAX! Can't wait to see 'em in person this season.

Thanks Hillel. Wish I didn't get frickin' stuck at frickin' work today. Sounds like a good one!

Luckily I have lax on CSTV now at least - or at least after this 2 OT squeakball game.

Not worth its own thread - Princeton just scored an own goal... 7-2 JHU, not pretty

ND scoring the first two goals of the game, with CU starting slow out of the gate.  They seemed a little uncomfortable on the field, if that makes sense.  After those first two goals and about the first 10 minutes of the game, Cornell seemed to settle down and play better, and from there the scoring went back and forth with Cornell not quite able to tie it.  Eventually, after a goal and face off win, ND ran a couple of goals together to take a 6-3 lead in the second quarter.  From there Cornell took control of the scoring with seven straight, shutting down ND for the remainder of the first half (it ended ND 6, CU 5) and for all of the third quarter.  

Sean Greenhalgh, with five goals, kept it close early and Joe Boulukos added three, I think.  Kyle Georgalas did a great job on ND's AA attackman Pat Walsh (I think he was held to 1 goal and 1 assist).  Matt McMonagle played a great second half for Cornell.

Things seemed to get a bit sloppy for CU at the end forcing some plays on offense when they didn't need to.  It was a nailbiter in the end but, in truth, I thought CU looked quite good for the first game and played a better game than the final score indicated.  

Great job Big Red!
