Body:

Even though the men’s lacrosse team will play its first road game of the season tomorrow afternoon, the game will be a homecoming for one member of the No. 4 Cornell squad.

Excellence Begins In Friedman for Cornell Athletics

Forever Wild

Body:

“The expectation is excellence.”

All I could do was nod and offer a weak smile in mute agreement for Tom Howley, the strength and conditioning coach for Cornell varsity athletes. He is a force to be reckoned with, bursting with infectious energy despite the fact that he’s been at work since the football team showed up at 6 a.m. There I was, standing in Newman Arena at 7 a.m. two weeks ago, still rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, surrounded by the members of the volleyball team and feeling totally out of my element.

Playing on the road at Harvard (12-12, 10-1 Ivy) tonight and Dartmouth (13-12, 7-4) tomorrow, the Red (12-13, 8-4) needs just one more victory to clinch its best Ivy League record in program history.

After splitting a pair of games to open its season last week, the No. 11 women’s lacrosse team (1-1) will have its first test against a ranked opponent as it welcomes an all too familiar No. 5 Notre Dame (2-1) squad to Schoellkopf Field tomorrow.

Deckhead:

Senior is first Red player to receive honor

Body:

Until yesterday, no player in Cornell men’s basketball history had ever been named a first-team Academic All-American. That changed when senior tri-captain Graham Dow was awarded a spot on the ESPN the Magazine/CoSIDA squad.

W. Lacrosse Tops Colgate

Yael Borofsky  —  Mar 1, 2007

Body:

After a disappointing loss to Rutgers last weekend, the women’s lacrosse team bid adieu to February with a victory over Colgate. Maybe it was the shining sun and slightly warmer temperatures, or maybe it was the desire to get a solid win on home turf, but whatever the inspiration, the Red stepped out onto Schoellkopf Field and dominated the Raiders by a score of 19-7

Body:

With only one day remaining until the EIWA tournament, No. 11 ranked junior Steve Anceravage has his sights set on a conference title. After a 2006-07 campaign that has seen him rack up 16 wins to only four losses, the Bloomsburg, Penn., native looks to secure his first-ever in-season tournament championship while in a red singlet.

Seligmann Not Worth Hassle

Josh Perlin  —  Mar 1, 2007

Body:

Reade Seligmann may be on his way to the Ivy League. According to reports by the Associated Press and The Brown Daily Herald, Seligmann is being recruited by Brown to play lacrosse despite his pending legal matters. Seligmann is one of three former Duke men’s lacrosse players facing sexual offense and kidnapping charges due to alleged conduct with a stripper at an off-campus party last March.
