Chase Yager-- see above post which does not include UVA because it was just addressing the issue of transfers to Ivies.

Agree on Taylor. Several good 25s, and I like to see the family connection. Brian Box and Blake Cascadden. Brian is a little bigger than Charlie, fast, and excellent two way player. Blake is a big d mid.

Back to page 1-- Rowyn Nurry, A. Was originally a 24, doing a pg year coming 2025. Does it inside and outside, right and left hand:

Melkonian is winning faceoffs over his last 4 games at 85%-- against Roslyn (much improved team with a good fogo), Manhasset, Massapequa, and Long Beach. He is also a big threat to score off the draw, and had 3 goals against Long Beach. Hopefully, he and Ricci can make the jump to D1 success. Psyllo...

Your conclusion in 3) concerning the difficulty of beating quality teams in a relatively short period of time is ironic
given Penn beating Cornell twice this year and Princeton doing the same to Yale.

Don’t disappear— we will start a 2025 thread when the dust settles.

Yes, sorry typo— Luke Robinson is arriving next year

From the NE West 1 high school thread: 3 on trinity Pawling is also a killer. Had about 8 goals. Tp with a big win over Avon also last week. That’s Cornell 25 mid recruit, Luke Robinson. He will probably be the fastest kid on the team. He just runs by defenders even though they know he wants to go l...

Glad to hear about #3 on TP. That’s Luke Robinson, Cornell recruit. Very fast with a hard, accurate shot on the run.

This mirrors my view. Yes, there are anomalies in the selection system, we had key injuries where we could least afford it at inopportune times, we had a great team that on a given day could beat anybody, we have great coaches, loyal fan base, and great lacrosse tradition, we had some freakish calls...

Now 9-3 Michigan at half.

Michigan up 5-1 over PSU after 1 Q

GT wins it in OT 11/10

Wish Goldstein took a more aggressive role. He was able to beat his defender and solve the Carroll riddle the few times he stepped forward. He seems to defer to older guys I agree. Goldstein was particularly passive in the first half, but was effective dodging from behind in the second. Thank you B...

I was being sarcastic. Sarcasm does not come across in print without the /s indicator https://www.textline.com/blog/tone-indicator-list True, but context and background work, too. I've been nothing but a slightly objective Cornell homer for many years, and it would not have taken much to confirm my...

Transfer portal thread indicates Blake will take his last year at Duke and Wirtheim at UNC. These Ivy guys are just not ACC athletes. Obviously trying to stir the pot with that last sentence. The results on the field this year and over the last 5-6 years speak for themselves. The ivy has won plenty...

Lawrenceville and Salesianum (Delaware) played a great game, with Lawrenceville winning 9-8 in overtime. Lawrenceville's goalie, Piacentini, and 18 on Salesianum , Nurry, are Cornell recruits. Piacentini is a 24. Nurry was originally a 24, but is now a 25. Both had great games. Nurry had another goa...

Long not playing, Caddigan on attack. Uggh. He just can't stay healthy. I don't see him on the bench in uniform either We can hope it's minor, and that he stayed behind to rest up. He is there in street clothes. Nothing obvious coming out to greet team on a play stoppage. 46 not playing either

Princeton up 9-4 over Yale at the half. Yale has had some great comebacks, but who do we want to win?

Concerning next year's fogo situation-- Melkonian won 17 of 18 faceoffs against a good Carey team, and is at 74% for the season.
