Quakers escape !

Stupid question: is OT sudden death, or full time?

Edit: Sudden death. Just saw it.

Hockey assist, Handley.

One goal win. Doesn't count.

Yes! Not sure why it took so late in the game to realize every possession should run through Handley, but well done on the tying and winning possessions (Handley with the assist and hockey assist). Handley's poise, vision, passing ability in addition to his other many skills are just so impressive. Congrats UPenn Quakers! Fitting for a Philly team to win in "Spirit of 76" fashion -- starting their last regulation possession down 1 with 76 seconds to play.

Gutting for Richmond but Chemotti and his crew were absolutely impressive.

How many heartbreaking first round losses can RIchmond take? Brutal

Also anyone catch a water bottle being thrown at the Penn players when they went over the richmond students? no love lost

For how poorly they played all day, that was an absolutely brilliantly executed winning goal by Penn. Special shoutout to Ben Smith who saved the Quakers from even more turnovers than they had; that handle on the tying goal was a great bit of skill that went overlooked on the broadcast (Jules Heningberg was terrific on the call today).

Really feel for Richmond as they played a clean, tough game. They're knocking on the door.

Ivy League 2-0 so far!

Lots of St Joe's fan here at Reese, some noisy, rowdy ones. Yale section quickly filling up. Feels and looks like it could rain, but none yet.

On the way to 6-0 ...

Yeesh. A win is a win in the tourney and Richmond is indeed a tough team but man, that was a very poor performance by Penn relative to every other time I have seen them this year. Yacking passes, shot after shot missing cage by 10 feet. Not sure what was up with them today but they won’t get past next round playing like that.

Penn-Richmond not great lacrosse but a great lacrosse game. Why I love this game so much.

All great points -- clutch performance by the first-year Ben Smith and I really liked Heningburg's call (and not just because I'm a Yale fan and Jules mentioned a couple of times that he thinks Matt Brandau got a bit overlooked in the Tewey finalist process). Congrats to the Quakers -- very happy to see them advance.

These games can not be played at that venue any more; they are too important. So anytime lacrosse gets a first round home game it will have to be played there because of graduation set up. The women too. I reminder a few years ago, the women's team was rocking. They play their game there, and the Navy women smoked them.

Its like a high school field. No, wait, high school fields have seating. Its like a practice field. No wait, it IS a practice field.

Not to make excuses at all, but look many shots we had that were high, wide...different depth perception than playing inside the stadium. Thoughts?

Lovely footwork by Leo Johnson on Yale's first goal. I am so happy to get to watch that young man play for three more years.

Its a Quint K loss.

Scary how good Yale and Harvard are with the amount of Freshman they start. They are going to be so good in a few years

I don’t know.
That’s the mystery.

Murphy, a riddle wrapped in an enigma.

Lol, was going to say the same thing.
