“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.

W. Laxers face first ranked opponent

Body:

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.

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
