Men’s Lacrosse Hopes For Rebound Against Green

By |

Following a tough road loss against No. 5/5 Syracuse Tuesday, the men’s lacrosse team will be on the road again this weekend, traveling north to Hanover, N.H., for a game against Ivy competitor Dartmouth. A win would keep the No. 3/3 Red (7-2, 3-0 Ivy) at the top of the Ancient Eight standings, as well as provide a surge of much-needed momentum for Cornell before the team faces No. 2/2 Princeton and No. 11/11 Brown next week.
“[A win against Dartmouth] is definitely huge,” said senior middie John Glynn. “We’ve spent a lot of time reviewing the tape from the Syracuse game. We want to correct any and all of the mistakes we made against them.”
Dartmouth, an Ivy rival, is by necessity an important match, regardless of either team’s current record.

The Land of the Dollar Menu, and of the Free

Today, unless I’m very much mistaken, is the last day of March. And this means that we at the sports department have been excitedly buzzing over those hallowed diagrams of paper and ink known to sports fans everywhere as the tournament bracket. That’s right everybody, March Madness is upon us! Who did you pick to win? Personally, I picked Missouri, based not really on the basis of talent or overall depth, but rather because I want the team that knocked our brave boys in Carnelian to ride that wave all the way to the national title. There’s something to be said for getting knocked out by the best collegiate basketball team in the country.

M. Lacrosse Welcomes Penn to Schoellkopf

By |

There are wins, and there are big wins, the kind of wins that give teams a real sense of pride and a jolt of adrenaline that, under the right circumstances, can stay with a team for a long time. The men’s lacrosse team will face Penn at home this Saturday, with the remnants of that fresh adrenaline still coursing through its veins. The No. 3 Red (5-1, 1-0 Ivy) are coming off a big weekend, following a strong win against top-10 rival Duke, 10-6, followed up by a 15-8 victory over Yale to kick off Ivy League play.

Sweet Revenge: M. Lax Defeats Blue Devils

By |

Just a general warning: Max Seibald holds grudges. Apparently, so does the rest of the men’s lacrosse team. Tuesday, the No. 8 Duke (6-3) lacrosse team found this out the hard way, succumbing to a focused and cohesive Red squad, 10-6, and allowing No. 3/4 Cornell (5-1, 1-0 Ivy) a feeling of at least partial vindication following the Blue Devils’ two stinging victories in the 2005 and 2007 NCAA tournaments, including the heartbreaking one-point win in the semifinals two years ago. The Red then rode its momentum to a 15-8 win over Ivy rival Yale (3-2, 1-1 Ivy) to kick off its Ivy League season on Saturday in New Haven, Conn.

Cornell gave top-ranked Virginia something to worry about, taking a 7-6 lead into the locker rooms on Sunday afternoon and allowing even the most pessimistic fans to hope. The good fortune did not last, however, and the Cavaliers surged back over the next two periods to hand the No. 4 Red its first loss of the season, 14-10.
With the loss, Cornell slips to 2-1 on the season. Virginia remains perfect, with a 7-0 record overall.

When All You Can Say Is ‘Cavernous’

Sometimes, I get tired of hearing myself talk, I really do. I get tired of hearing myself ask the same questions and receive, by and large, the same answers.
“So, coach, how do you think you did? Are you happy with the result?”
“Well Meredith, I think we did pretty well. Our guys tried really hard, and that’s all I can expect out of them.”

Wrestling Defends EIWA Title

The Palestra gymnasium, in the heart of Penn’s campus, has, according to Penn’s website, hosted more NCAA tournaments than any other collegiate facility. This weekend, the storied building hosted the EIWA Wrestling Championships, a vital qualifier for the NCAAs, and a title No. 2 Cornell has held for the past two consecutive years. Yesterday, the Red reigned supreme once again, sending seven wrestlers to the finals, and securing the team title in dominating fashion, 35 points ahead of runner up Lehigh.
