He might be listed as the smallest player on the Cornell roster, but Louis Dale, a 5-11 starting point guard, has been one of the biggest reasons for the team’s rise to the top during his first three years at Cornell. The 2007-08 Ivy League Player of the Year is one of the most dynamic players in the Ancient Eight. In 2008-09, Dale finished among the league leaders in several categories, tallying 13 points per game, 3.6 assists per game, 1.2 steals per game and a .463 field-goal percentage. Despite his diminutive stature, Dale can also play a big man’s game, ranking in the top-15 rebounders in the league with 4.2 boards per game. Last season, Dale became just the second player in school history to record 1,000 points, 300 rebounds and 300 assists. Read More
