Caddigan top center.
17-12 Cornell. 3:47 left.

Lehigh goal from X to side right.
17-13 1:37 left.

17-13 Cornell, final score.

17-13. Game over.

Good win. A few turnovers, probably weather related but some forced passes too. Overall good at X. Cascadden faltered a bit, and Psyllos won a few after that. The clearing game did not look sharp. Knust forced some long passes that led to a couple of turnovers. But Cornell caused several turnovers from rides. Still great at that aspect of the game.

It is so great to see Mikey Long at X. He's such a threat to score or pass. Kirst had a good game. He was well guarded but scored and helped the team in a lot of other ways.

Good game for Knust! He stopped some tough ones, but there were a couple I'm sure he felt he should have had.

Denver is next.

Thanks for posting the running scores and recap of the game.

Congrats to Big Red lacrosse winning in not exactly spring sport weather. The freshman William Firth #51 was impressive with 4 goals in his first college game. My one concern is our defense physical enough to hold up in this very tough schedule? Go Big Red!

Yep! A good Cornell sports day all the way around!

sloppy field. s;oppy play.

rusty on the clear

not stellar play from the goalie

Lehigh won too many 1-1 plays for goals

3rd period we hardly saw the ball that led to almost 15 min without a goal and still scored 17.

upprdeck
sloppy field. sloppy play

Let’s see how we do next week, when it’s supposed to be in the mid-50s and sunny.

Every face-off from the Lehigh game.



Face-offs

For half a century, the New York City dweller's attitude about the rest of the world drew strength from the Saul Steinberg's March 29, 1976 "View of the World from Ninth Avenue" cover of The New Yorker.

In case there is someone who hasn't seen it. I hope Steinberg retained for himself royalties outside of that issue's cover.

semsox
The women's team is currently playing Cal at Schoellkopf, and from the looks of things, the field conditions are definitely going to play a role in the game.

We were in Ithaca for the weekend and Saturday it ranged from dark-blustery-flurries (beyond a half foot that fell Friday) to ... occasional 15-minute stretches on sunshine.

Congrats to Big Red lacrosse winning in not exactly spring sport weather. The freshman William Firth #51 was impressive with 4 goals in his first college game. My one concern is our defense physical enough to hold up in this very tough schedule? Go Big Red!

Agreed. There were three or more goals where our defender just didn't get out on the shooter and gave him totally free hands. That made it super tough on Knust. At times, though, our quick-sliding defense really shut them down and also caused some turnovers.

Thinking about playing a lacrosse game in two (?) years in Meinig Field House and how many people will fit and be safe from the elements. It's still not clear what is capacity but I hope it's not less than 500:

Date   Opponent    Attend  Notes
02/17  Lehigh       296    22F gametime mostly cloudy, light snow

It looks as if 250-300 is the minimum one gets early season: parents, lax alumni, students-girlfriends. The first two home games last year drew 312 (2/25, Lehigh) and 523 (3/11, Penn State). In between those two, Ohio State drew 2378 for the 3/4 Cornell game.

Firth has upward potential. To get the 4 goals he needed 5 SOG. #freshmanjitters

Mikey Long the Ivy offensive player of the week. Well deserved.

[cornellbigred.com]

"PRINCETON, N.J. -- In week one of men's lacrosse action for the Ivy League, Michael Long has been named the Offensive Player of the Week for his three-goal, four-assist performance this week. His seven points led all of Cornell, and marked his most points in a game since April 30, 2022 when he tallied eight against Princeton in the regular season finale."

Now that Cornell's extraordinary defender Gavin Adler '23 is gone from the Cornell team, Inside Lacrosse ponders Men's Tewaaraton Watch: Should a Defender Get Serious Consideration?

But still, Cornell is in the hunt:

Matt Kinnear, Inside Lacrosse
... "If the season ended today…"
CJ Kirst would be the favorite
Ajax Zappitello would be (should be) at the Tewaaraton ceremony
JJ Sillstrop made the biggest jump
Here is my Tewaaraton Watch .... . I divided it into three tiers:

Tier 1 “The Favorites” — These guys have had Tewaaraton buzz for multiple years, and it would be a shocker if they weren’t all finalists.
Tier 2 ‘The Contenders" — These are established, elite offensive players whose teams are in the Top 10.
Tier 3 “The Challengers” — Supreme offense talents whose teams are on the cusp of the Top 10, or defensive players who have a steeper hill to climb (through no fault of their own).
Tier 4 “The Field” — Really talented players, but maybe not with the name recognition or projected team success as the guys ahead of them. It’s so early, though, one of these guys could make their way to DC.
The way it's sorted is to make the point that this list is a projection based on a month of games, players' history and the committee's thinking. It’s not necessarily a best player ranking. There are players further down the list that I’d put much higher in a “best player” list (Ajax Zappitello, first of all).

5. Evan Plunkett, Army
6. Pat Kavanagh, Notre Dame

Cornell has had two award winners:
2009 Max Seibald, M
2013 Rob Pannell, A
The Tewaaraton dates only to 2001, so no awards to 1970s studs Mike French '76 and Eamon McEneaney '77. Two other Ivy players won: Dylan Molloy from the 2016 Brown team that made the [edit add:] final four, playing with a broken foot title game, and Ben Reeves of Yale that won the title.

I had a viscerally negative reaction to the question when I saw the article earlier this afternoon, however, after taking a second, it is an interesting thought experiment. While I think Adler is and was a better than any of the current D1 poles, the history of the Tewaarton presumes a deep postseason run. So maybe a better question is, what would Adler's case have looked like if Cornell made it back to Memorial Day last year?

40 windy and rain.

gonna be the norm for cornell.

As ugly a game as score says.

cant score from close in at all.

Yale beats #1 Denver 15-13.

Thats stretch where we won like 5 FOs and had 2 EMs in a row and I dont know that we even got a shot on goal.

Jordan Stevens has coached some really good defenses, like the 2022 team that went to the title game. I'm sure they'll work hard this week on picking up the ball a little sooner and protecting the topside so they can help the goalie on Sunday.

Some fishermen are best at trolling.

Yours is a more reasonable description of Cornell's woes on defense: concerning not fatal.

This weekend's Ivy match between two top Ivy teams will be a fairer matchup. At Princeton Saturday at the Tigers' gorgeous Class of '52 Stadium (56 degrees, partly sunny, 4,000 seats, PU-CU lax well attended, near to but seldom a sellout, if only this were in Ithaca as a precursor to the Harvard hockey game).

I think the young coaching staff is being found out for who they really are. I think there will be some growing pain, this season being the main one

The best solution is, Fire Andy. I know, that's so 2022.

Let's hope Cornell can get back on track today against Princeton.
I went to the Yale-Harvard game yesterday and both of those teams are going be tough as well. Yale scored 10 seconds into the game and was up 13-6 at the half. Yale's No. 37 won nearly every faceoff, and Yale seemed to be scoring at will. Harvard made a comeback in the second half, twice cutting the Yale lead to two goals and having a possession to cut the lead to one, but could never narrow the gap. The game got a lot closer in the third period when Yale was called for two penalties at once, one of them a two minute non-releasable. Harvard scored three extra-man goals during that span, and also won all the faceoffs since Yale could only have two players out to take the faceoff while Harvard had three. A key play in the game came when Yale was trying to clear and the Harvard goalie was caught out of his cage. A Yale middie shot the ball nearly the length of the field into the Harvard goal. First, I was trying to figure out who he was passing it to and then I saw it heading into the cage.
Yale ended up winning 17-15 before the largest crowd I've seen in person at the Yale lacrosse stadium.

I hope Cornell is more innovative with their offense today. It looks like we play with a standard set and depend on our deep talent to make plays and score. This is most evident in our EMO sets. We do the same thing every time. This will work against a Lehigh, but not against a Penn State caliber defense that has scouted us and knows exactly what we do.

I try not to be a Duke fan, but I do like how Danowski gives his players freedom to create on the fly. It takes a while for this kind of offense to find its groove, so they are sometimes not as successful early in the season. But they are tough when tournament time rolls around.

Also of course we just have to defend the topside today. Any decent shooter in D1 is going to have success with free hands from 10-12 yards. I hope we are better there today.

Sad news for Andy Noel-haters. He's baaaack! (As a fan.) I shook his hand walking out of the Princeton lacrosse game and wished him well. Remember, it was Him who hired Connor Buczek. And Brian Earl. And etcetera.

The Cornell coaching staff is his doing, outside of Mike Schafer. And it was his doing to let the new AD hire the football coach, rather than stick it on Nicki Moore.

The yodeling rodent on the Lynah Scoreboard is not his doing. It is kind of amusing. Let's see how long it stays amusing.

Andy did hire Matt Kerwick, Bill Courtney, Tim Pendergast and many others who weren’t very successful at Cornell. Not everyone is congratulating Andy for keeping Dave Archer (29-71) for 11 years so his successor could hire the new coach.

Beg pardon?

Getting 5 goals from the 2 new kids was huge

Per the ESPN coverage-I know it's cheaper for them to have remote announcers but they could have invested in a on site spotter to convey the adjustments made in the respective teams' lineups. E.g. Cornell short stick d-middies- no Chris Davis or Aiden Blake doing shifts, etc.

The freshman Gilmartin did a good job overall, I thought. He was burned once by Mackesy who went right on him to the topside and of course scored, but Gilmartin was involved in the final goal when he faced up the Princeton ballcarrier in the middle of the field. The ballcarrier threw it left, and Gilmartin or Wallace might have tipped it, causing the bad throw, turnover, and game-winning score.

So I think all the time he spent on the field will really pay off as the season rolls along.

Agree, but I thought they did a good job overall. Talking about foot & hand work was good for someone like me what has never really played.

Except when the times they referred to Princeton as Syracuse.

Could have also suggested that all teams wearing orange are not from Syracuse.

It took him 11 years and a decision to retire to finally realize that hiring David Archer was not working? OK

Sticking to mlax only, AN
1) fired Ben DeLuca for unspecified reasons
2) hired Matt Kerwick, who drove the team into a ditch
3) made Peter Milliman spend a year as "acting" HC, then lost him to JHU

Yes, we lucked out because CB (who started as a volunteer assistant) turned out to be really excellent.

I'm not sure we had much chance of keeping Milliman from going to Hopkins and acquiring all those grad transfers.

No, probably not, but it sure didn't help that AN wouldn't commit to him without hanging the interim tag on him for a year first. I actually wrote to AN to complain about that, the first and only time I ever did such a thing.

Any response from AN?

He had the head of the Cornell Lax Boosters call me. That was a surprise! I was mostly upset about the hit to recruiting from having a HC saddled with the interim tag. Pleaded my case to the booster guy, to no avail of course. He defended AN as having done the right thing. I couldn't tell if he really believed that or not.

Duke v Syracuse on ESPN+ and 'Cuse is leading 8-2 late in Q3.

I caught a little bit at the end. That Syracuse defense plays hard, and they play together. That's going to be a tough game.

Yes Duke seems a little vulnerable because Penn shut them down too.

Is cornell going to start playing D?

I was at the game (sister has season tickets)
TBH, neither team looked great... but Duke was awful. Syracuse D has been steadily improving but many of the turnovers were unforced. Just sloppy passing, balls not coming out of the stick clean.
(I feel like I read a post on the fanlax forums that Coach Gait has his guys setting up their sticks differently and using 'grippy' balls (?) at home, so visiting teams struggle... fact or conspiracy theory ??)

Duke kept it close early because they seemed to be able to neutralize SU's very good FO specialist (portal pick up from Tufts) and the Duke goalie made some point blank saves in the first half (SU going high-to-high on the crease with no fake multiple times)... but eventually SU started rotating in a different FOGO and finding the back of the net

Will Mark in goal was very solid for Cuse as well.
I have no idea what the Duke offensive coordinator was doing. SU basically played O'Neill straight up most of the game, he is a specimen and it seems like they could have run some 2 man sets and gotten him good looks easily

Time will tell how the ACC plays out, but I always say a Duke lax team in May is like Michigan State hoops in March... no one wants to face them late in the season/tournament time

Final was Syracuse 10, Duke 4. 3/20/24

An email from Coach:

We wanted to make you aware that due to the impending weather tomorrow morning, we will be pushing our start time against Yale back to 2pm on Saturday, 3/23/24. We hope to see many of you out there braving the conditions!

Nice stand there on the man down.

Cornell 7 -Yale 5 3:02 left in 2nd.

Real barn burner in Ithaca (not that anything could literally catch fire there in today's weather)-- 7-6 Cornell leading Yale at halftime.

My biggest fear has not so far been realized--Yale is leading in faceoffs (9-6) but not dominating. I do worry that Cornell's faceoff men tend to fade a little as the game goes on-something to keep an eye on in the second half.

Cornell's frosh goaltender, Matt Tully, got the start--6 GA and 6 saves in the first half. Someone who knows lacrosse better than I do can speak to this, but a .500 save percentage, while not great, is more than respectable against a fine offense like Yale.

We're getting outgroundballed, which I hate (25-14.)

Second best thing so far today is the EMO--two for two!--after struggling mightily in tha past few games. Yale got an EMO with 6 seconds to go in the second quarter--I assume it's like hockey and will carryover to the next quarter.

Best thing so far today is the balanced offense--two goals each for Kirst, Nikolic and Goldstein. Long with two assists. This kid Goldstein is a real "find" (probably helped that his dad is one of Cornell's best players ever.)

Yale trailed 7-4 with 6:30 to go in the half and scored the next two to close within one--I trust Buczek and Stevens to make the needed adjustments.

Let's go Red!

Red now up 12-8 midway through the 3rd.

AND Yale scores 3 goals in 41 sec, now 12-11 Red

CU77
Red now up 12-8 midway through the 3rd.

Cornell gets a tiny bit of breathing room with Wirtheim's first goal of the day, 13-11 with Cornell leading, 12:30 to go. Five Cornell players with two goals or more.

Cornell scores AGAIN on the EMO, 14-11 Cornell with 12:13 to go. Rory Graham with his first goal of the year.

16-11 after back to back goals by Ryan Goldstein.

17-12 Cornell now, 4:41 to go. Come on, Red, keep it up.

17-14 Cornell 1:26 left.

Final: 18-15 Cornell over Yale

A big win! Cornell now past the arguably two toughest Ivy rivals.

Ken711
Final: 18-15 Cornell over Yale

This is Cornell's best win of the seson. Very satifying. I thought going into the game that Yale was the best team in the Ivy League (and they still may be--at least twice in recent years Cornell has beaten Yale in the regular season, only to lose to them in the ILT.) Today was Ryan Goldstein's coming out party--FIVE goals, wow. The Kirst/Goldstein combo is going to cause opponents a lot of headaches this year--you can't double them both, can you? And let's not forget Michael Long--three goals and four assists today. Nikolic and Firth with two goals each. Multiple scoring threats makes the team very tough to defend.

The emergence of Goldstein and fellow freshman Mike Tully (G) has been the story since the Penn State debacle, which I am hoping is far behind this team now.

Yeah, the Adlerless defense is overall still very suspect. But I'm a happy Cornell fan today.

Ugh--I was coming here to ask the same question, and that's the answer I feared. It's not a good look for our best young player to taunt the opposition after his best game. Hoping that Buczek straightens him out. But you're right, Al, we can't know led to this.

I think Yale got pissed that Long potted one as the shot clock was expiring a couple of seconds ahead of the game clock. I assume whatever Yale said, Goldstein took it a level or two higher.

Yale potted one 4 seconds after Long's with 2 seconds on the clock.

We didn't defend, and we didn't really fight for the faceoff with 2 seconds left. Turning the temperature down.

My point was: If Yale didn't like Long shooting with seconds to go...

yeah, but that was tit for tat. getting mad at it in either direction is silly.

Sigh. Hypocritical to be "mad" about Long's unnecessary goal and then do it yourself. No one on the Cornell side was "mad" about the Yale goal. The game was won.

Strange that you just don't get it. I know Cornell let it happen. By the way, I consider myself "on the Cornell side." You, too. I'm not mad. I was just surprised Yale did it after their reaction to Long's goal.

Yale is notorious in the Ivy League and out, especially at Maryland for being major trash talkers. I've sat behind their bench enough times to know it's true. I'd bet my last dollar that there was plenty of that directed at Ryan throughout the game. He was smart enoughto wait for the last few seconds.

Good win today! The team played well on both sides of the ball. They really fought from the wings on the faceoffs, and they did some damage with the rides.

I didn't mind R Goldstein getting in the face of the Yale Bulldog. You never want penalties, of course, but I like a player who claims the field, esp. a freshman. Cascadden has that quality too. He doesn't take crap from anyone.

Should Long have taken that shot? In the old days, probably not. But I'm told these aren't the old days anymore.

Daniel was awarded the Patty Kaz! A great day.

Contrast with last week where the only good thing that happened was a hockey win vs Harvard.

Right! For some reason I thought the PSU game was that day.

It was a downer, but kind of expected. I appreciate what he did for the program and wish him well.

As complete of a game the Red have played this year. Ivy wins against the Yale and Princeton are the beginnings of a good NCAA resume and we seem to be hitting stride at a critical time in the season.
