Cornell lacrosse 2022

I hope we win today. Of all the regular season games, regardless of how it hurts or helps our tournament chances, this is the one I care about the most.

Who was the color commentator during the Harvard game? When I watched the Yale game a few weeks earlier, it was only the play-by-play guy. The broadcast was much better with a knowledgable color commentator.

Howie Borkan '81...excellent.

[cornellbigred.com]

He usually does radio, right? I wonder if this was a one-time thing or if they’re switching it up for good to give the ESPN+ broadcast, which presumably has a larger audience, a two-person booth.

For ESPN+ Ivy league broadcasts, the feed is the one supplied by the home school. Our guys in the broadcast booth are better the Yale's.

Howie lives and works in NYC so if his color commentary is missing at a game, it means he couldn't make the trip. Tom Lafalce -- a Cornell employee who also does a great job -- is the other regular color guy. He was at Colgate I believe.

Did LaFalce play at Colgate?

Tom was once head manager of the Big Red Marching Band. He's from Long Island, so I've always assumed he played in high school.

Interesting. I really like listening to him talk about the game. He catches some things that Barry misses, and he's good on strategy.

Sorry; about Tom -- I meant he covered the Colgate game not that he is a Colgate alum.

AP was looking to score. He needs to get it to the attack and move off the field. He's winning the clamps but seems to anxious after he gets it.

We'll come back and make this a game, but this is a deep hole obviously.

That hole is 7-2, Orange.

It feels like Chayse should have stopped a couple of those, but Syracuse is shooting well.

What does the announcer mean by a "stick penalty"?

So many mistakes.

That's like four wrap-around goals.

AP has lost the edge he had to begin the game.

AP needs to keep his feet. He goes down too easily.

I think I'd rather Cornell put Chayse back in.

Came out with some energy!

Hit the cutters twice for two goals! Keep it up!

We're back in this one.

Strong cuts. They work.

Great D at 3:40.

I just scared my dog I yelled so loud.

What a great win!

WHAT A WIN! 16-15 OT

I didn't watch the game [too complicated to explain why I didn't have the feed] and after just a little of the WHCU broadcast, I decided I couldn't deal with that either. So I had to rely on the updating of the stats. Needless to say, early on I was just as happy that I hadn't paid to see the game but of course the Cardiac Kids did it again, coming from behind to pull it out.

Having watched games in the Dome and knowing a number of Cornell goalies over the years, I know that they often struggle to see the ball at Syracuse. Those who watced the game: was that Chayse's problem? I prefer not to name names, but some outstanding goalies have absolutely sucked when they had to play in the Dome so I have no problem saying this was a one-off and hoping he can chalk it up to experience.

They just keep going. Love the fact that the parade of coaches who, ahem, moved on are all having tough years while Cornell just keeps winning. Petramala, Tambroni, Milliman, Deluca. Anyone else?

midfield is concerning

I thought Knust did an excellent job in Goal but Ierlan had a rough start and would think Buczek would reinsert Chayse at Goal against Army. Piatelli is a Monster out there. I don't recall a Cornell athlete having a better shooting % in a game. Gutsy all around effort and the key was Petrakis held his own against the Syracuse faceoff guy who came in at 59%.

There were two or three goals shot from 15 yards+ that Chayse probably could have had, although later in the game Knust also gave up a couple from that range (in zone the Cornell D didn't offer a strong challenge to those shooters). The wrap-around goals also gave Chayse problems from the invert. Those shots attempts were curtailed by the zone. (Great coaching move by Buczek.) I tried to check but I don't think Chayse had a save.

I have to wonder if Chayse just had problems picking up the ball in the Dome. I've read that's a problem for some goalies. It will be interesting to see who starts against Army.

This is true. But in the Dome in 1987, Paul Schimoler made 31 saves while giving up four goals. Guess he saw the ball.

Long story, but I couldn't watch the game earlier. (Did listen to WHCU, however.) Is there any way to replay it on demand?

What does the announcer mean by a "stick penalty"?

Use of a stick that doesn't meet specs, usually because the pocket of the netting is too deep.

Ok, thanks! I think that's non-releasable.

At present, there is just one ACC team in the top 8 'at-large' slots in RPI (after Maryland, Princeton and Georgetown take Conference slots). Of course, the committee will still figure out a way to get 3 or 4 ACC teams in the tournament because the ACC is always, by definition, the strongest conference, despite on-field results.

Just in case some here don't know, there is an active group of Cornell lax fans (including at least a couple of former Cornell lax players) at fanlax.com.

Cornell 2022 thread, with close to 1000 posts: [fanlax.com]

Heading down to Ithaca for Saturday's game against Army... first time on campus in probably 5 years
Any benefit to buying tickets in advance versus at the gate?

Saw Army play Cuse (my sister is a season ticket holder) and they will be a tough opponent
Adler will have another challenging assignment shutting down their top attack, and they bring and use a large roster (Westpoint website has 66 guys listed with uniform numbers)
Scanning their roster page, looks like they also have a Cornell connection on the coaching staff, Kyle Georgalas

with decent weather might be an OK crowd.. buying ahead means skipping that small line I suspect.

I'm embarrassed to say how many times I've watched that OT goal to beat Syracuse. I wish we could have had a mike in the huddle. It looks like they wanted to get CJ to GLE and draw a double team, and then a quick pass to Coyle and then to Kelleher for the step down. As soon as Coyle took the pass, he knew exactly where Kelleher would be and passed it to optimum shooting position by Kelleher's head. It was a thing of beauty.

It was indeed a thing of beauty, but my guess is that it was not scripted at that level. Kirst looks to me like he's just moving the ball on because he was stymied at GLE, and then Coyle is just moving it on, and then Kelleher sees an opportunity to shoot because no defender is on him.

Either way, scripted or just heads-up play, it was a fantastic end to the game.

As that final sequence started, Ryan Boyle said "watch out for Kelleher here; we weren't able to get totally into the huddle."

Is there some kind of poetic justice that Cornell's tying goal came with four seconds left on the shot clock?

beat army and then at least win one of the last 2.

I think then, no matter what we probably get into the NCAAs at 12-3 at the worst.

Win out and you may be a 2-3-4 seed. Try to get seeded to avoid Maryland I think is the goal right now.

Agreed. It sounds like we have a great young coach (not yet 30) with a lot of energy, knowledge, and maturity. From his playing days in college and in the pros, he must garner immediate respect from the players. He's also a Cornell guy, through and through. We're lucky things turned out the way they did.

Also grudging respect to the interview by the Syracuse guy. Good questions, although I wish he had asked about Xs and Os, or about things like strengths/weaknesses of the current offenses and defenses.

IL midseason "freshman" impact ratings have Kirst #1 and Kelleher #7:

With 1:18 in regulation in the timeout, Pietro told the Syracuse D in the huddle to double CJ. They did. I have to think the Cornell coaches saw that and took advantage of it in overtime.

Hoping for a non-stressful win today, but Army is really good.

Brown routing Yale 19-11 late.

I wish we were more aggressive on our shots. It's as if we are trying to run down the clock and have time for just one shot.

Another awful start down 4-0. Three possessions all resulted in rushed shots with less than 10 on the shot clock.

Army shooters getting a lot of room and Ierlan continues to go down on shots.

We're not doing a great job getting out to the shooters at 12 yards.

Have we won a faceoff yet?

Must be they haven't come down from the high of their Syracuse win. Oh well.

Yep, keeping looking for the cutter on the crease!

18-9 ground balls. Faceoffs 11-14.

Ouch.

you wont win many games if the only faceoff wins are the other guys violations.

We're just not getting out and getting sticks on the hands of the shooters. Lack of energy?

have to add the goalie play was really bad as well. The army D was outstanding controlling the locations we got into and then the goalie made saves on top of it.. we have too many awful turnovers and probably 5-6 goals were on shots you have to save at a high volume.

Every Army shot is hands free.

NCAA selection committee announced their current top 10 (before today's games):

Maryland
Princeton
Georgetown
Cornell
Yale
Rutgers
Virginia
Ohio State
Penn
Jacksonville

Army whipped us in every aspect. Felt like a dam breaking. Have to pick up the pieces.

Oof. Best they had was a non-stressful loss. At least they lost the 'right' out of conference game this week. On to Brown next week.

Yes, we'll see how well Coach Buczek can get the team together to focus on Brown. The team certainly came out with a serious post-big-win funk and didn't really snap out of it until it was too late. They just need to remember that everything is still there for the taking. They just need to work harder and get better.

6 Ivy games to go, 2^6 = 64 possible outcomes.

For now I'm only going to do the scenarios where Dartmouth loses its last two games (to Penn and Brown).
And I'm only going to do the simplest tie-breaker of record among the tied teams. Complete list of tie-breakers is here: [ivyleague.com]
And I'm not sure how (3a) applies in a case like (C,Y,Pr),(B,H,Pe)

C>B,H>Pr,Y>H,Pr>C: (C,Y,Pr),(B,H,Pe)
C>B,H>Pr,Y>H,C>Pr: C,Y,H,Pr
C>B,H>Pr,H>Y,Pr>C: (C,H,Pr),B
C>B,H>Pr,H>Y,C>Pr: C,H,(B,Pr,Y)

C>B,Pr>H,Y>H,Pr>C: Pr,C,Y,B
C>B,Pr>H,Y>H,C>Pr: C,Y,Pr,B
C>B,Pr>H,H>Y,Pr>C: Pr,C,H,B
C>B,Pr>H,H>Y,C>Pr: C,Pr,H,B

B>C,H>Pr,Y>H,Pr>C: (B,Pr,Y),Pe
B>C,H>Pr,Y>H,C>Pr: B,C,Y,(H,Pe,Pr)
B>C,H>Pr,H>Y,Pr>C: H,Pr,B,(C,Pe,Y)
B>C,H>Pr,H>Y,C>Pr: (B,C,H),Y

B>C,Pr>H,Y>H,Pr>C: Pr,B,Y,Pe
B>C,Pr>H,Y>H,C>Pr: B,C,Y,Pr
B>C,Pr>H,H>Y,Pr>C: Pr,B,Pe,C
B>C,Pr>H,H>Y,C>Pr: (B,C,Pr),(H,Pe,Y)

Brown might well win the last 2 and end up 4-2
Cornell ends up 3-3
Penn beats dart and goes to 3-3
Harv I suspect splits beats Princ loses to Yale and goes 3-3
Princ loses to Harv/ beats Cornell 4-2
Yale beats Harvard to go to 4-2

3 way tie for 4th

Cornell is 1-1
Penn is 2-2
Harv 0-2

Cornell better 1 one of those last 2 games

Now if Princ wins out and Harv beats yale then its
Princ 5-2
Yale 3-3, Harv 3-3, Penn 3-3 Cornell 3-3 and imagine if Dart beats Brown then Brown 3-3

We can be first or out of the Ivy Tourney.

Cornell defense was worn down by Army's dominance at faceoff X. Like any game possession of the ball is everything. We can talk about the Goalie play but Army's offensive players seemed to have time and room on every shot puts too much pressure Ierlan or Brust to make miraculous saves. Sometimes the faceoff strikes me like having a jump ball after every basket, It puts such a premium on one specialist to have possession dominance,

Sometimes the faceoff strikes me like having a jump ball after every basket, It puts such a premium on one specialist to have possession dominance,

I wonder how physically and emotionally drained they were after the Syracuse game. From the jump against Army, our defense looked like they were playing in sand. How many uncontested shots did Army get at 12 yards out? Chayse has had a little trouble with the mid-range shot this year anyway, and then add the possible loss of confidence and you get a super tough day for him.

I can't remember which game it was earlier in the season, but I was incredibly impressed that the Cornell long poles had a stick on the hands of every shooter almost every time. A shooter just can't score if he can't follow through. But lately they've not always gotten out on the shooters, even with the 6 foot long pole, and especially not against Army. Part of the reason may be the zone defense, but I think it's just a question of getting back to fundamentals. They've shown they can do it.

So we went down 7-0 and there was no indication in the first quarter that Cornell was doing to drag itself out of it, but the team played more or less evenly on the scoreboard at least after the first quarter (with some junk time goals). Cornell is still an excellent team that's a little thin at middie. They can still do serious damage in the tournament.

Sorry to beat a dead horse, but again I'll mention that the cutting game works when they use it. Long to Coyle is a winning combination. They have the stick skills to make this a devastating part of their game, and it will open up shots on the outside. But instead they camp two guys in front of the crease and rarely throw to them. When they do, the long-poles are well trained to check sticks and make that pass difficult. Teat made a living snapping passes to cutters, and that made the rest of his game even harder to defend. /soapbox

Agree about most things you say, Mike. I'd add the following. (1) Maybe I haven't watched closely enough, but it seems Cornell rarely uses picks to free up cutters. I've noticed Coyle setting picks, but given his size and skills, better results are more likely when he dodges off a pick and gets a feed from Long. (2) There was at least one time in the Army game, probably more, when Piatelli was double-teamed while trying to get to goal. In such instances, the standard remedy is to pass to someone at the back post. But at least once, as I said, I noticed there was nobody there. In fact, I noticed Army, Cuse, and (IIRC) Harvard using this tactic effectively against us, but Cornell rarely (but not never) used it.

The Cornell program in great hands? Or Hopkins'? UNC's? Stanford's (once they start lacrosse)? We're getting to be the cradle of lacrosse coaches, between coaches and ex-players.

If Buczek does stay in Ithaca, maybe he is Cornell's next male athletic director circa 2030? 2035?

Cornell 10-2 hosts Brown lacrosse 7-4 Saturday at noon. A couple weeks ago it seemed Cornell might split the final games, Brown home, Princeton away. Now, after the Army game, is there a chance the last 3 RS games are all not victorious?

I completely agree. I was watching some video of Jeff Teat, and when he played the crease attackmen were much more active about getting open for passes. This season, it seems the crease attack don't really move much, I guess to screen outside shots from the goalie. This has often been very effective, but when the offense becomes predicable or stagnant, maybe they could switch it up to a different set and get the crease attackmen more active and setting off-ball picks.

Let's go!!

Adler looks like a man among boys out there.

Hands free, outside shot from Brown.

Another awful start. Poor shooting. No saves. Turnovers. Hands-free Brown shots.

Brown just plays much much smarter lacrosse. Cornell impotent on offense.

We need to get out on the shooters. Brown is certainly getting out on our shooters.

The cutter needs to catch and shoot or quick stick. There's no time to cradle. They'll get swarmed by the defense.

Hands free shot for the good guys.

Piatelli's last goal looked like a Jeff Teat shot: Not hard but very accurate.

Al DeFlorio
Another awful start. Poor shooting. No saves. Turnovers. Hands-free Brown shots.

We just aren't hitting the corners of the square today, Al.
