1999. Connor Gill scores with minutes left to seal victory against Cuse for first natty since ‘72. A wonderful memory to revisit after a tough loss this weekend.

1992... Soldier Field. Temperature close to 90 on Sunday crashing to 50 overnight. Unprepared with only shorts, Ts, flip flops
Princeton's first NC after upsetting defending champ UNC in semis w/ Cuse beating Hopkins. Tierney's team then stuns lax world taking down a loaded SU team in OT on Monday.

‘03 in the mud
Whatever year Brad Dumont missed that BTB for Princeton. 02? 01?
Late 80s Cuse Hop
2010 Duke ND Soccer game (goals weren’t allowed pre shot clock)
07 Duke delayed the start of the game so they could dramatically come out on to the field from the locker room while that dumb U2 song played. It was them against the world after Nifong. Jesse Schwartzmann said it ain’t your time yet.

Franklin Field, right? And in the semi-final, despite the heat, the Jays wore black instead of Columbia Blue.

And in '07, Quint kept repeating that they were the team on a redemption tour. Then, in '08, Quint said the super-seniors were the team of destiny. Some homer he turned out to be.

Haha!...yes thanks 44, game was NOT in Chicago! I remember that color choice for HOP. Of course Princeton was just fine in all black on chilly, damp, rain-soaked Memorial Day.

I was in attendance with my son, who then went on to play at Navy……what a fun day. And oddly, happened to sat next to neighbors and a school teacher of the Looneys.

1977. Cornell led 10-1 over JHU at the half and 16-3 in the 4th q when the subs came in. Final score 16-8. Cornell came in undefeated and JHU had one loss, a one goal loss to Cornell.

Best part of that one (played at UVa) was the PA announcement near the end that the Cornell Club of Virgina was hosting a free after-party, all Cornell fans invited!

My memoranle moment from that game. Hoos calls a time out. Maybe score was 8-0. Eamon runs by the Hookins team and yells “ you guy suck” one way to his bench

2016 UNC v Maryland. Utter classic of a game, just wish the outcome wasn’t a UNC win.

On that 1977 title game,
there was a classic quote from Mike O’Neill,
something along the lines of, Is this game over yet,
or similar.

The 1983 final,
a boatrace of a final - all manner of talent, HoFers up and down the field - just a wild wild affair.

Oh geez, sorry and hope you feel better soon. Hang in there. Food poisoning is the worst.

Most memorable to me was probably 2016 Maryland vs. UNC. It was more exciting than even the legendary 2021 UVA/Maryland game despite being pre-shot clock.
Others from the past 20 years that standout: the aforementioned 2021 title, 2009 Cuse/Cornell, 2010 Duke/ND, 2007 Duke/Hopkins.
