This can't be happening! All I read on this site for the past two years was how the COVID pause by the Ivies was the end of Ivy League lax. It was the end of recruiting, the beginning of an exodus of IL players to other leagues, transfers would abound, coaches would run, funding would be cut, human sacrifice,dogs and cats living together. By now, we were supposed to be reading how the Ivies were going DIII. Instead, the IL is a top 3 conference and is arguably top 2 after thrashing the Big 10 the past two weeks.

there are models out there to provide an avenue for sports to be played for the students and parents that want them.

Has to be too 2 at moment notwithstanding Yale losing to PSU

If we’re gonna do the H2H between conferences deal, B10 is 4-2 over the ACC, so does that make them Top 2?

Feels easiest to say all 3 are pretty much at the same level and well ahead of the rest of the pack

I'm delighted to have Ivy lacrosse back, and happy to see League teams doing well. Cornell looks terrific, Princeton has proven that there is life after Sowers; and with Harvard and Dartmouth notching wins, top-to-bottom the League looks to be in good shape. However, it is only March. Good teams will improve a lot between now and May. Will one or two Ivy teams be good enough to be playing Memorial Day weekend? I certainly hope so, and think it's possible. Whether this is the second-best or the third-best or whatever conference right now, what happens in May will show how good this League really is.

Or criticizes the players and coach!

Boolah Boolah, tremendous hoops game! If Yale can hold on vs Denver it will be quite a day in New Haven.

Diaspora?

Either way, I always appreciate a good Ghostbusters reference.

Agree 100%. I'm thrilled with how the season has started, but it's way too early to start counting NCAA bids.

Penn gets lucky,
tie it up with a minute left,
their offense is way off.

Well, I guess Penn’s offense only operates in the
last few minutes,

2 goals in the last minute, 8-7 Quakers.

What were the weather conditions like?

Not great,
cold windy,
maybe 15-20 wind chill, but sun was out.

Told you it would be tight. Killing me. On the other hand they know how to win the close ones…and a win is a win.

Holy Crap. 14-0 in OOC games the past 2 weeks. I have never seen an ENTIRE league go a full 2 weeks and not lose a single game. I don't know if those records exist but I can't imagine this has ever happened before. The streak will now move along slowly as they do have some OOC games during the league season, but what an accomplishment going into League play. 27-6 overall. SCARY!!!!

My FanLax poll will have 5 Ivies in the top 15, 6 in the top twenty. Just need Dartmouth to win their next two to complete the septfecta.

Nice weekend all around! Not one gimme on the slate either. I have no idea how to handicap the league right now, but would probably group Cornell/Princeton @ the top, with Penn/Yale/Brown/Harvard behind. We could easily see 6 teams ranked top 20 tomorrow, which I don’t think has happened before.
