OT LAX: Cornell lacrosse at Army

[Hillel Hoffmann]

It's 1-1 early in the first quarter from West Point. Greenhalgh scored on first CU possession, USMA then reciprocates. Cornell already 0 for 3 on FOs.

[Hillel Hoffmann]

McMonagle makes save on Army's big gun, Walker, and Cornell clears ... then soph Clayton scores from Boulukos. Joe's second assist?! CU loses ANOTHER faceoff.

[Hillel Hoffmann]

Walker scores on the extra-man opportunity. It's 2-2. Cornell finally gets FO thanks to an illegal procedure call.

[Hillel Hoffmann]

Boulukos scores on a bounce shot that "overpowers" (as per Borkan) the USMA goalie. 3-2 Cornell. Cornell wins possession off FO.

[Hillel Hoffmann]

And boom, Nee scores on a crank for a two-goal lead. Army calls timout.

[Hillel Hoffmann]

FOs looking mighty ugly. Army wins possession after CU wing man forced OB.

Army second-line midfielder scores when matched up with short stick, 4-3 CU.

[Al DeFlorio]

Thanks for the updates, Hillel.  Can you tell who's marking Walker?

Faceoffs killed us against Navy last year.

[Hillel Hoffmann]

Possessions exchanged.

Matt Robbins, CU SSM from Illinois I think, is playing on clears.

And Wagner, Army's OTHER big gun, scores from Walker, and it's all even at 4.

[Hillel Hoffmann]

A fast first quarter.

[Hillel Hoffmann]

Wagner scores immediately off the FO as Cornell scrambles to settle.

[Hillel Hoffmann]

Nee scores on EMO after Army flagged for 30-sec technical.

And yet another illegal procedure call on Army -- it's the only way we're winning draws.

[Hillel Hoffmann]

Gotta take family lunch break.
