Drinking Games, NCAA Tourney-Style ... And a Look Back at the 2009-10 Men’s Basketball Season
March 11th, 2010I’ll be the first to admit, my talents in life are few and far between. However, one skill I seem to have mastered over the years, is an uncanny ability to make a drinking game out of just about anything. And yes, my parents are very proud.
That said, I present to you the March Madness Drinking Game: 2010 edition.

Women’s Lacrosse Nets 14th Straight Win Over Lions
March 11th, 2010The weather in Ithaca cooperated just in time for the start of Ivy League competition on Cornell’s turf. In its first conference game of the season, yesterday afternoon at Schoellkopf Field, the women’s lacrosse team (2-2, 1-0 Ivy) defeated Columbia (2-1, 0-1 Ivy), 9-7, with the help of a six-goal outburst from sophomore attacker Jessi Steinberg.
The 14th straight victory over Columbia added to Cornell’s winning history against one of its toughest Ivy foes. While the final numbers of the mid-week Ivy opener seemed to indicate a close game, the Red was confident in its ability to pull out the win from the get-go. Cornell silenced Columbia’s roar with a three-goal run in the second stanza to ensure that the Red came away with the victory. Read More
