Critical to Cornell’s ability to reopen safely is its surveillance testing program, which subjects everyone on campus to regular COVID-19 tests. What does the data from this testing say about where Cornell stands?
“Sunday was a better result,” said Pepicelli. “I still think there’s better in us, but we’re heading in the right direction.”
“I am here to convince you that an assault weapons ban would not violate the Second Amendment,” Charles said. “This is a fraught and contentious debate, and the people and their representatives — not lawyers in robes — should be the ones to decide whether an assault weapon ban best serves the public interest.”
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.
After almost two years, the men’s lacrosse team will get a chance to avenge its season-ending, 12-11 loss to Duke in the semifinals of the NCAA tournament. The Red will travel to Durham, N.C., to take on the No. 13 Blue Devils at Koskinen Stadium on Tuesday.
This will be the Red’s second trip to the South to take on a big-name opponent — it fell to No. 1 Virginia, 14-10, on Sunday.
Freshman attackman Rob Pannell leads the Red with 19 points on the season. Junior attackman Ryan Hurley and senior midfielder Max Seibald round out the top scorers with 16 and 10 points, respectively.
The men’s basketball team has released its schedule on the newly designed Cornell Athletics website. This season’s most intriguing contest, however, does not come from the Ivy League portion of the schedule, but from one of the Red’s non-conference matchups: a showdown with Duke University. The game is scheduled for Jan. 6, in Durham, N.C.
Athletics officials were not available to confirm the schedule, but The Sun received confirmation of the contest from a source within Cornell’s squad who requested anonymity because the schedule had not been formally announced yet. Red head coach Steve Donahue also recently stated that a game with Duke would be played on Jan.
