Ivy League Men's Lacrosse Cornell Yale 2013 NCAA Tournament

Cornell 16 Maryland 8
On Saturday evening, lightning struck the hotel Cornell’s men’s lacrosse team was staying at in College Park. If lightning strikes the same place twice, the Big Red will have a chance to see it again next weekend.
While there was no real damage done at the hotel, Cornell’s effort was electric the following day as the Big Red picked apart one of the nation’s best defenses on its own homefield, caused havoc on defense, dominated special teams and controlled every aspect of the game in topping No. 6 seed Maryland, 16-8 on Sunday afternoon at Byrd Stadium in the first round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament.
The Big Red improved to 13-3 on the year and earned a second-round date next Saturday with third-seeded Ohio State, while the two-time defending national finalst Terrapins had their season end at 10-4. Ohio State rolled past Towson, 16-6, at home on Sunday. Cornell will return to Byrd Stadium to face the Buckeyes.
Yale 10 Penn State 7
Trailing 5-1 at the half, Yale scored nine of the next 10 goals to earn a 10-7 win over eighth-seeded Penn State on Saturday afternoon in the opening round of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship.
The win was Yale’s first in the NCAA tourney since 1992. The Bulldogs (12-4) will face either Syracuse or Bryant in the second round on Saturday, May 18 in College Park, Md. Those two teams play Sunday night at the Carrier Dome. The second round game time will be set for either 12:30 pm or 3 pm.
Yale, making its second straight NCAA appearance and fifth all-time, became the first team in the history of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosee Championship to win a game after scoring just one goal in the first half. Since the tournament began in 1971, teams scoring one goal or fewer in the opening half had a record of 0-52.

NCAA Lacrosse: Video Highlights Of Penn Women’s Lacrosse 10-7 Win Over Dartmouth On May 5 To Capture 2013 Ivy League Tournament Title

Posted on May 6, 2013 | Leave a comment

History did not repeat itself. Much like it did last year, Penn opened up an early lead on Dartmouth in the Ivy League Tournament championship game. Unlike 2012, Penn did not allow the Big Green to come back in the game, putting the clamps on Dartmouth’s secondary scoring in a 10-7 win to claim the school’s second Ivy League Tournament championship and earn an automatic bid to Penn’s seventh consecutive NCAA Tournament.

The Class of 2013 opened its Penn careers with an Ivy Tournament crown, and members of that group were instrumental in the win. Caroline Bunting had four goals, tying her career high and leading all Penn players in the game. She was 2-for-2 on free positions, part of a dominant day on the line for the Quakers. Fellow seniors Maddie Poplawski (two goals) and Meredith Cain (one goal, one assist) saw to it that the Class of 2013 accounted for 75% of Penn’s scoring in the game.

Penn was aggressive in the attack zone all game long, drawing 29 fouls from the Big Green and earning six free position attempts. Penn was good on five of those six eight-meter attempts, including 3-for-4 in the first half.

NCAA Lacrosse: Video Highlights Of Penn Women’s Lacrosse 10-5 Win Over Cornell In Ivy League Tournament Semifinals On May 3

Posted on May 4, 2013 | Leave a comment

With the calendar flipped to the postseason, Penn turned to its trademark stifling defense to earn a third trip to the Ivy League Tournament championship game via a 10-5 win over Cornell at Franklin Field.

The top-seeded Quakers benefitted from 12 Lucy Ferguson saves and eight caused turnovers, thrice holding the Big Red to goalless droughts of over 14 minutes in the game. Ferguson split her saves evenly between the two halves, highlighted by three in succession over a span of 1:51 after the Big Red had taken an early 1-0 lead.

After Cornell opened the scoring, Penn went for the next three goals, opening a 3-1 lead midway through the first half. Meredith Cain – who is arguably the most dominant player in Ivy League Tournament history with 11 goals and 14 points over six career games – scored on a free position 7:13 into the game to tie proceedings at 1-1. Five minutes later, Tory Bensen would give the Quakers a lead they would not relinquish on a low shot following a dodge from behind the net.

Just passed the midway point of the first half, Courtney Tomchik scored her only goal of the game on a pretty double dodge from the top of the zone. After faking out her second defender, Tomchik shot on the fly to give Penn a 3-1 lead.

NCAA Lacrosse: Video Highlights Of Dartmouth Women’s Lacrosse 11-10 Double-Overtime Win Over Princeton In Ivy League Semifinals On May 3

Posted on May 4, 2013 | Leave a comment

For the second time in as many years, the Dartmouth women’s lacrosse team will play in the Ivy League Tournament Championship Game. This time it will be thanks in large part to the play of senior Hana Bowers in Friday’s semifinal match-up against Princeton at Franklin Field.

Bowers, a 2013 First Team All-Ivy League player, scored a free-position shot with 1:22 left in double overtime that gave her team an 11-10 victory over the Tigers, sending the third-seeded Big Green to the finals Sunday at noon against the hosts and top seed from Penn.

The final game of the weekend will serve as a rematch from last year’s championship that Dartmouth won, 6-4, over the Quakers. Penn advanced to Sunday’s tilt with a 10-5 victory over Cornell in the second semifinal. In four seasons of Ivy League Tournaments, Penn and Dartmouth have played for the crown three times (2010, 2012, 2013).

The game-winner was Bowers’ fifth of the day and her sixth point after also adding an assist on the first marker of the afternoon.

NCAA Lacrosse: Ivy League Video Highlights Of Pennsylvania Men’s Lacrosse (7-4) 11-2 Win Over Dartmouth (3-10) On April 20

Posted on April 24, 2013 | Leave a comment

Dartmouth scored the first goal but after that it was all Penn. The Quakers went on to win 11-2 in this pivotal Ivy League matchup. Highlights are brought to you by Prodigy Launch.

With the win, the 18th-ranked Quakers finish their Ivy League season at 3-3; while the rest of the Ivy League finishes up conference play next weekend, Penn has the bye. So what did its win on Saturday do for its Ivy Tournament chances? It kept them alive.

Penn’s Ivy League Tournament hopes rest squarely on next Saturday’s Yale-Harvard game, which will face off at 2 p.m. at Harvard Stadium. If Yale wins, the Quakers are in the Tournament as the No. 3 or 4 seed (that would be determined by the outcome of the Cornell-Princeton game, also being played next Saturday); if Harvard beats the Bulldogs, however, the Quakers are out.

The two goals that Penn allowed on Saturday were the fewest allowed by the Quakers in a game since March 5, 2002 (an 11-2 win over Saint Joseph’s). The last time Penn held an Ivy League opponent to two goals? Try March 20, 1999 in a 7-2 win over Yale.

NCAA Lacrosse: Cornell Men’s Lacrosse Takes 2013 Ivy League Regular Season Title With 13-7 Win Over Brown; Hosts Tournament On May 3,5

Posted on April 22, 2013 | Leave a comment

Ivy League Men's Lacrosse 2013 Champion Cornell

A wild Ivy League Tournament scenario settled a little bit after last weekend’s action. This time a week ago, all seven teams were mathematically alive for a tournament slot. Today, there are only five.
Cornell wrapped up the Ivy League regular season crown with its win at Brown on Saturday — a record 18th outright title for the Big Red. Cornell will also host the Ivy League Tournament at Schoellkopf in Ithaca, N.Y. on May 3 and 5. The semifinals will be broadcast on ESPN3 and the finals will be shown on ESPNU.
Princeton and Yale have also wrapped up spots in the tournament, but their seeding is not secure. Harvard needs a win over Yale on Saturday to get in, otherwise Penn will be the fourth team in the tournament.

Injuries In Lacrosse: Ivy League Lacrosse Adopts “Concussion Prevention Recommendations” For Men’s And Women’s Lacrosse

Posted on July 17, 2012 | Leave a comment

The Ivy League presidents accepted a series of recommendations made by the League’s Multi-Sport Concussion Review Committee aimed at limiting the incidence of concussion in men’s and women’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s soccer. The Multi-Sport Concussion Review Committee oversaw the reviews in men’s and women’s lacrosse and soccer. The Multi-Sport Committee arose from the Ivy League’s Ad Hoc Committee on Concussion, which conducted last year’s football concussion review and was also co-chaired by Dartmouth then-President Jim Yong Kim and Cornell President David J. Skorton, both medical doctors. Sport-specific committees reviewed men’s and women’s soccer (one committee), men’s lacrosse and women’s lacrosse, and included Ivy League head coaches, administrators, expert consultants, team physicians and athletic trainers.

The Ivy League presidents also accepted sport-specific recommendations, including:

Men’s Lacrosse

  •  Coaches will designate 11 combined days in the fall and spring seasons in which body checking will not be permitted in practices.
  • Only one full-contact practice per day will be permitted. • Coaches will place a greater emphasis on teaching proper hitting techniques in practice.
  • The Ivy League office will work with the NCAA on specific issues that could potentially lower the incidence of concussion, including examining the possibility of more stringent consequences for penalties involving targeting the head as well as considering possible rules changes surrounding face-offs.

Women’s Lacrosse

  • Coaches will modify 10 spring practices to exclude stick-checking.
  • Coaches will dedicate time during the beginning of fall practice and skill instruction season on teaching proper stick-checking technique.
  • Each student-athlete will be required to attend at least one skill instruction session that focuses on proper stick-checking technique prior to the first fall practice.
  • Other adopted recommendations centered on suggestions for minimizing accidental hits to the head during practices and continued assessment of officiating to address fouls involving hits (i.e., stick-checking) to the head and other dangerous play.
  • Certified officials will attend one fall practice to emphasize adherence to safety rules and cardable fouls.
