GASP! I was wrong?
on two things, sweetheart. Such as-
1. Syracuse losing and Cornell's defense
2. Saturday's Cornell/UVA game attracting new fans.
On error one- Obviously I was quite wrong. Throughout the entire game, down to the last seven minutes or so, Cornell had secured a 3 point lead, much like my prediction. What no one saw was Syracuse coming back from no where, one player standing at the net, awaiting the pass, only to of course get the ball and shoot with three seconds to spare, leading into a sudden death OT.
Which of course, they won. Final- 10-9.
What is this, a Disney fairytale? A Mighty Ducks movie?
No, this was one of the best underrated, college games I have seen in awhile. THIS was the game that should've attracted new fans.

Lax Attacks Upstate NY for finals
In the mens' lacrosse championship game, fourth seeded Cornell will face second seeded Syracuse, providing for an interesting college lax game Monday night.
Cornell easily managed to walk right around number one Virginia's defense in Saturday's match (which was obviously won, 15-6). Yesterday's game was barely into the first period when Big Red began to realize that the Cavs defense wasn't covering their stars, Rob Panell, Ryan Hurley and Chris Finn, who each contributed three goals. Panell had three assists ,as did Hurley.
Syracuse spanked(!) Duke in their semifinal, 17-7. Orange's offense included stand-outs Kenny Nims and Patrick Peritt, along with eleven others who managed to score in the upset. The Blue Devils' lax fans must be pretty depressed, considering that Duke's women's lax team also lost in overtime to Penn State, 10-9. Nittany Lions also lost in semifinals. Women's lax championship game will be played between Northwestern and North Carolina.
Cornell should win, by at least 3 goals, despite the fact this is their first finals appearance since 1988. The way Panell dances around opposition is absolutely incredible, and exciting. If there had been more sports fans watching Cornell/UVA Saturday afternoon (it was televised), NCAA men's lax would have many new fans. The excitement of these high-scoring upsets is entertaining, and you're in awe watching how the boys jump up to catch a small, hard ball in such tiny and shiny sticks.
Cornell versus Syracuse will be played Monday night.
