1 Yale to win the Ivy League tournament, Cornell men’s lacrosse learned that it had not done enough to secure a home game in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Instead, the Red will have to travel up I-81 to the Carrier Dome, where it will face eighth-seeded Syracuse in the round of 16 of the national playoffs. What’s more, the Red won its conference tournament, boasted a top-10 RPI and lost only four games — all resume pieces that Syracuse is lacking. “Cornell had a nice head-to-head win over Syracuse earlier in the season … Quite frankly, Cornell had a couple of bad losses to Colgate and Princeton. “Just worry about us and try to get better every day.”The game will begin at 7:15 p.m. next Sunday at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse.
