Just back from the trip to Ithaca. Congratulations to the Big Red on their victory, it was well earned today. The Crimson unfortunately had a collective down day, but Cornell was relentless. Good luck the rest of the way.

I'm sure he will. That is a very common freshman mistake, even for someone as talented as Goldstein. These players are so used to being able to carry the ball in high school that getting them to hit the open man immediately isn't always the first instinct, especially on non-scoring plays like that o...

Faircornell-absolutely acknowledge and appreciate all of the work you do each eeek compiling the outstanding performances of all of the IL student athletes (inducing Sam King). My comment wasn’t geared towards you in any way, more at the ACC-centric media. As for the Harvard program, then head coach...

If Brandau is being slighted, Harvard’s Sam King is being downright ignored. 2nd in the country in points per game (to Brandau). Not to mention 6 goals and an assist against a Penn defense that held the defending Tewy winner to a goal. Sam has been absolutely electric this year.

Another close loss yesterday means the Crimson will need some help to get into the Ivy League tournament. They have to win their remaining games (at Cornell, home vs Brown) and then hope that either (1) Cornell also loses to Dartmouth, or (2] Princeton loses its two remaining games (home vs Penn the...

Doesn't seem fair to coach or players. If this is about one first-year at attack, he was a four-star IL recruit from one of the top HS programs in the country. You can understand a coach sticking with a guy with that resume and hoping that as the season goes on the freshman leap is made, even if yo...

Joey Spalina is at Princeton now?

What’s up with the stream today? The schedule says the game starts at noon but the ESPN coverage has it listed at 1.

Is it really too much to ask a paid lacrosse announcer to know Griffin Shutz’s last name is NOT SCHULTZ, like Seargent Schultz? It’s SCHUTZ, like he ‘shuts’ the door. And he’s got a rocket shot. the announcers for the Harvard game were a refreshing change from the usual tripe..... Thanks for that r...

This Harvard team is really close to putting it all together. I don’t think anyone predicted Harvard would be up 9-6 after three quarters, or that they would hold Shellenberger and Millon scoreless for the contest. Just need to click for all four quarters.

Some top performances in the Ivy League this week: Offense: CJ Kirst, Cornell: (4,4) 8 points Matt Brandau, Yale: (5,2) 7 points Michael Long, Cornell: (3,4) 7 points Nate Kabiri, Princeton: (5,1) 6 points Sam King, Harvard: (2,4) 6 points Ryan Goldstein, Cornell (5,0) 5 points Tynan Walsh, Penn: (...

Based on tomorrow’s forecast, I would say the schedulers were getting advice from Nostradamus.

St. Joe's looked very good and played with great energy. Penn needs more movement on offense to be able to score, and they didn't have it last night. Not to dismiss the loss, but it is one midweek game in a long season. I'm sure they will learn from this and move on.

He didn’t look hurt last night. Got a lot of time.

And don't forget Kip Turner also left with Lars and was an asset in the recruiting process as well.

Thanks for adding the Penn/St. Joe's game, I missed that one. Classic gritty vs. gilded matchup, and has been a one goal game the last three years.

Can this week's games match the excitement from last week? We can only hope so. Dartmouth kicks things off today traveling to Georgetown for a mid-week matchup (3pm). Dartmouth coming off a nice win over UVM and a bit of a trap game for Georgetown. But the Hoyas didn't play Saturday and I expect the...

Based on this weekend, this could be an epic year in the league. Lots of parity, high powered offense, frantic paced up and down action-hard to ask for more. The Harvard-Yale and Cornell-Princeton games felt like watching playoff hockey as far as the compete levels. I’m sure Penn-Brown was similar, ...

Orfling had a good assessment of the game. 37 was a difference maker for sure. Great on the clamp and even better in the contested ground balls. Kudos from this crimson fan. Paquette made some key saves down the stretch. The save percentage doesn’t tell the whole story. While he may have wanted one ...

Not the result we hoped for but a strong showing in the second half by the crimson. Hats off to Yale’s Fogo, he had an incredible day at the x. While losing to your rival is never fun, the team should feel good about how they responded today. The Tigers are up next.
