Like I said, one at a time.

Good to see the Quakes close...
Re: Ivy League 2019
Well yes. If. But do you not agree that Penn currently *controls* (that is not a passive - if - kind of word) their own destiny?

Re: Ivy League 2019
I'm with the coach.
“It’s big, but it’s still March, and we’re playing well,” Murphy conceded. “We beat the No. 1 in the country last year in Duke and we didn’t finish that well. Right now, we’re 5-3 and it’s March 30.”
Killers don't relax. They step on their foes throats. The throwaway on the 4th period man-up was weak. They can and should win out.
Now do it!!
P.S. I remember the '80s -- Killers.

Right again! I thought Princeton would win this one easily.
Very close! Penn in 3OT 13-12, after leading by 3, falling behind by 1, and scoring the tying regulation goal at the buzzer.
Yowza! I would have bet heavily against you on this one, but you're right again!
Thanks CU, Blind squirrel in the forest.
3 OT's, seriously! That's awesome... and crazy! Yale still has a lot of runway in front of them, should make for a fun ILT if they can continue their hard work. And Penn, well, I hope they keep rolling and we get to see some good Ivy play in the NCAA. Interesting weekend coming up.
Re: Ivy League 2019
Competition in the Ivies looks to be stepping up. Penn-Yale 3OT Penn victory was a treat, as was Brown's 2 goal win over Princeton. Even Princeton at 0-3 in league play looks like they have some teeth as evidenced by their win over Denver. Tigers still have a chance to even their Ivy record at 3-3 and I believe the only team with a 3-3 conference record that has missed the ILT to date was last year's Princeton squad. Brown and Harvard look to be improving whereby their upcoming games with Penn and Cornell no longer look like the gimmes they once did for their higher ranked opponents. League doing better recently OOC as well and it wouldn't surprise me to see that trend continue. I like seeing the league get stronger as I think it prepares those teams that work their way to the top to have a better chance come the NCAA tourney.

Re: Ivy League 2019
Penn missed a few years ago at 3-3 FYI
Re: Ivy League 2019
I appreciate the correction. 3-3 still definitely puts a team in the pool of possible participants.
Re: Ivy League 2019
Yes, 3-3 usually gets in, and "should" get in, with losses to the 3 other teams that are in, and wins over the 3 that are out. It's when it's not so neat that a 3-3 team can be left out. IIRC, the 2 cases mentioned (of a 3-3 team being out) are the only 2, and there are many more cases of 3-3 getting in.

Re: Ivy League 2019
Princeton 0-3 in Ivy, on life support for ILT. Close losses to UVa, Hop, Rutgers. Navy win not looking too good. Denver win a ++. Only Cornell left as a chance for a quality win, and BRed may be the #3 team in Ivy. This is year 3 of the Sowers era and it's washing away.
Re: Ivy League 2019
It looks to me like Princeton's best chance at getting in at this point would be if them, Cornell, and Brown end up in a 3-way tie at 3-3. That would be for 3rd-5th.bearlaxfan wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2019 9:04 am Princeton 0-3 in Ivy, on life support for ILT. Close losses to UVa, Hop, Rutgers. Navy win not looking too good. Denver win a ++.

Re: Ivy League 2019
I watched the Denver game live stream, and Sowers looked amazing. If Princeton makes it into the ILT, they could win it if they put together the same type of game.
Re: Ivy League 2019
To have a realistic hope of making the ILT, Princeton needs to beat Dartmouth, Harvard, and beat Cornell in Ithaca. Not impossible, but...
Sowers is fantastic, but his supporting cast seems to have dwindled gradually during his time at Princeton.

Re: Ivy League 2019
He was the best player on the field and it wasn't even close. Two of his goals really made it apparent. The inside spin at the crease when he smoked a defender and the goalie, and the falling away low to high - directly into the corner of the goal - with zero leverage on the shot. He 100% made the difference for Princeton that night.faircornell wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2019 9:12 am I watched the Denver game live stream, and Sowers looked amazing.

Re: Ivy League 2019
I would not rule out Harvard knocking off one of its four remaining Ivy foes. It has won 4 of its last 5, including W's over BU, Providence and Albany. Playing much better than earlier in the year and look more confident with their very young team!

Re: Ivy League 2019
Harvard has some nice young players on offense (11.78 goals a game) but these guys are all a little too reckless with the ball. The team ranks #68 in turnovers with 20.56 a game and #55 in clearing % at .798. I watched the game against BU and I am still not sure how they won with 32 turnovers.
Wojcik has to clean that up or it could get ugly early against defenses like Yale and Penn. We shall see.

The League (or the Columbia Athletic Department) has started to sell tickets to the 2019 ILT. I recently received a reminder by email.
