Men's Lax Opens at Home Against Colgate

By wpengine March 4, 2003

A year ago, the men’s lacrosse team entered its game against Colgate looking for an easy win to rebound from a humbling season-opening loss to Georgetown. While Cornell was able to pull out a win, it was anything but easy. Armed with that experience, this year’s version of the Red (0-1) will return to Schoellkopf Field this afternoon for its home opener against the Raiders (1-1). Saturday, the No. 11 laxers saw a tenuous first-half lead completely obliterated by No. 6 Georgetown in the third quarter in the Carrier Dome. Inability to win face-offs and establish a presence in the transition game spelled doom for the Red, which yielded 11 second-half goals to the Hoyas, losing 13-6. For the game, Cornell had tremendous difficulty controlling face-offs, winning only four to Georgetown’s 20. The Hoyas also won the groundball battle, 34-26. The Cornell offense was not able produce long enough possessions to give the defense adequate rest, and as a result the Red suffered on both ends of the field. “The quick possessions went in our favor,” said head coach Jeff Tambroni, “but we had hope to hold on for a minute, a minute and a half at a time.” Due to the fact that the defensive corps spent about three-quarters of the game on the field, Georgetown took advantage of the Red’s fatigue and capitalized in a big way. “They wore us down,” said Tambroni. “We had a difficult time responding.” The Raiders fell to Dartmouth on Saturday in their home opener, 10-7. Peter Watts and Jeff Vander Muelen each tallied three points for Colgate in the losing effort. Rookie goalie Andrew Jarolimek recorded 10 saves for the Raiders. In last season’s 10-9 Cornell win in Hamilton, then-freshman attack Sean Greenhalgh led the attack, scoring five goals in just his second collegiate game. His two goals early in the fourth quarter gave the Red a short-lived four goal advantage and proved crucial as they provided the Red a bit of breathing room before the Raiders cut the lead to one later in the period. It was Frank Sands’ goal with just under six minutes remaining that was the decisive blow, giving Cornell a 10-8 lead it would not relinquish. Last season’s game served as a wakeup call for the Red, which had previously had little difficulty with Colgate. Tambroni attributes the Raiders’ recent success to second-year head coach Jim Nagle. “They’re an opportunistic team, a very well-coached team,” he said. “If we don’t come ready to play, we’ll be in trouble.” This will be the Red’s first game at Schoellkopf this season. Last year, the Red went 5-1 on its home turf, including an emotional 15-11 win over then-No. 1 Syracuse through a driving rain storm. “We’re hoping it will bring some excitement into the locker room,” said Tambroni. “It’s an opportunity for us to get our first win in our first [home] game. We’re prepared to get back to our winning ways.”Archived article by Owen Bochner
M. Hockey Still No. 2

By wpengine March 4, 2003

The past weekend brought mixed success for the top 15 teams in the USCHO.com Division I men’s hockey poll released yesterday. All but three teams experienced at least one loss or tie, which had little subsequent effect on the rankings. Cornell was one of the three teams to go undefeated, picking up road wins over Princeton and Yale to wrap up the regular season. The Red remained No. 2 in the poll, receiving a season-high 17 first place votes. Colorado College remained in the top spot despite splitting a weekend set with WCHA rival No. 9 Minnesota State — Mankato. The split enabled the Mavericks to move up one spot to No. 10. New Hampshire moved up to No. 3 after a win and a tie against Colorado College. Despite splitting a weekend series with conference rival Boston University, Maine moved up from No. 5 to No. 4. The only other teams with only wins were No. 5 Ferris State, which swept Nebraska -Omaha, and No. 13 Providence, which won its only game of the weekend Friday night against UMass-Lowell. Several teams in the bottom half of the poll shuffled positions in the new rankings. Boston University rebounded from last week’s two-spot fall, moving up a spot to No. 10. Meanwhile, North Dakota fell two spots to No. 11 after splitting a pair with Minnesota-Duluth. Harvard, which finishes the regular season in second place in the ECAC for the second straight season, moved up a position to No. 12 after a tie against Clarkson and a win over St. Lawrence. Denver fell to places to No. 14 after a tie and a loss at No. 7 Minnesota, while Ohio State rounds out the top 15, falling one spot after a split on the road at Northern Michigan. Dartmouth received four votes, the only ECAC team besides Cornell and Harvard to appear on any ballots. The ECAC and Hockey East kick off their conference playoff slate this weekend while the other four conferences will wrap up their regular seasons. After winning the Cleary Cup with the win over Princeton Friday, Cornell will take the weekend off before hosting the second round of the ECAC playoffs in two weeks.Archived article by Sun Staff
