[OT LAX] Cornell lacrosse vs. Princeton

[Jacob '06]

Am I correct in saying that we now have the AQ solidified? Brown got its second loss, and we beat dartmouth princeton and yale(not sure which of those still only have 1 loss).

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

We have the AQ.  Dartmouth has 1 loss.  Everybody else has at least 2.

Yes, we have the AQ.  If Brown beats us and Dartmouth wins out, we tie Dartmouth for the title but get the AQ.

Navy leads Hopkins by one in the last minute at Homewood.  Timeout Hopkins.

Hop ties it with :21 to go.

Hop wins it in OT. Questionable call gave 'em the ball after a Navy shot.

Woohoo, I can't get bashed for my woofing after the dartmouth game :-)

By my count, the win brings Cornell to 9-1-1 against Princeton this academic year in all men's sports with head-to-head contests.  Cornell won both matchups over the Tigers in hoops and hockey and their sole matchup this year in football, sprint football, squash, wrestling and lacrosse.  Cornell tied Princeton in soccer and suffered a loss in swimming.  Cornell and Princeton still have three more head-to-heads (tomorrow in tennis and a DH next weekend in baseball) but I'd say we owned Princeton this year.

The rain stopped early, the sun actually came out at the end of the game, there was a big (by recent standards) crowd on hand, the pep band was in fine form, Cornell outplayed PU in every way, and even PU coach Bill Tierney gave up whining at the refs (he started off pre-game, complaining about the pep band playing the "Mickey Mouse Club" theme as his team came on to the field and was barking, as usual, throughout the first half).   What a day!

If you weren't there or didn't see the webcast, Cornell was completely dominating.  You name the positive stat, and Cornell won it.  It was a mis-match.  

I have no idea if the team knew that today is St. George's Day (thanks to Coach Moran for pointing that out), but either way, it was especially nice that today they could play as nearly perfect a game as a Cornell lacrosse team has in a long, long time.

He's definitely not a fan of the Pep Band. Last year, he instructed the Princeton Field Staff to "keep [the band] as far away from us as possible." :-D

"he" is an asshole and anything that makes him mad is a good thing! keep up the good work guys;-)

Way to go!!

Fred, I wasn't following your posts during the game but I greatly appreciate the play by play after the fact.  So no need to worry that you're posting to the ether!

Ivy title and NCAA bid!  Way to go laxers!
