When Princeton men’s lacrosse head coach Bill Tierney declared the game the biggest win he had seen for his Tigers in a long time, you wouldn’t have expected it to be after a game against Cornell.
Going into last Saturday’s matchup with the No. 17/19 Tigers, the No. 3/4 Red had won 14 straight Ivy League contests, four in a row against Princeton and five straight Ivy titles overall. Maybe that’s why Princeton’s 11-7 win over Cornell was such a big win for its lacrosse program. It’s also a pretty hard loss to swallow for the Red.
