c'mon boys hang on :-(

[DeltaOne81]

well the announcers seem pretty sure they will, but of course Cornell got 2 in 0:11 before, so... we'll see...

10 seconds, 5...

When is the last time a Cornell midfielder had as many goals as Joe Boulukos? Simply amazing.

[scoop85]

Stop teasing ... is it over?

[DeltaOne81]

GAME OVER!!!!

Boulukos end with the ball and flings it way into the air! the 18 (?) year drought is over!!

[Al DeFlorio]

Great effort!! 16 goals against Pfeifer is some doing.

[scoop85]

Spectacular win.  While I want to sweep the Ivies ang get the autobid, the victory certainly will help our chances if an at-large berth is needed.

Hard to believe this team could only manage 5 goals against North Carolina; Tambroni must have rally done something to get the offense going.

IMHO, Pfeifer is a sieve and has been his whole career ... he has not and should not ever be an AA goalie. his mechanics are some of the worst i have ever seen at any level. yes, he has talent but he is also probably the most inconsistent collegiate goalie playing today. lest i forget to mention his tendency to guess on shot placement rather than reaction as is the case with most goalies. great win for the Red, you have to love it when we (or anyone for that matter) can win in the Dome. Bring on the Green!

for those who get CSTV, Maryland v. Navy is being rebroadcast from last weekend.

[DeltaOne81]

Well that was well worth my $7 :-D

and yeah, Pfeifer didn't seem all that great, but the big turning point was when we started winning a decent amount of faceoffs, and stopped giving up stupid turnovers. The two goals going into the half obviously seemed to spark them.

Boulukos, of course, is player of the game

can't enjoy this one too much, with Dartmouth coming up, but enjoy it tonight, guys!

btw, I wasn't just teasing with that 10, 5... thing. there ball went out of bounds and the clock stopped, so I decided to post it and then do a final one

[scoop85]

Sorry for my impatience, Delta.  Thanks to you and the others who kept us posted.  

Now we can dream a bit, can't we?  The season seems to be setting up pretty favorbably.:-)

[billhoward]

Thirty goals and multiple lead changes among two top-ten teams in the country and one of them is the defending national champ on its home turf where Cornell hasn't won since the 1980s. Oh, yes, it's coming back now why lacrosse in the spring can be just as much fun as hockey in the winter. It took Cornell and its opponents the last eight games of the season to amass that many hockey goals. Wouldn't it be nice if we could play a home-and-home series with defending champ Denver at mid-season in hockey (and nicer still if it only took an hour to drive to Denver) the way we do with Syracuse and Princeton?
