As a showing of blue skies in an overall cloudy day, Cornell women’s lacrosse has been granted an at-large bid into the 2017 NCAA Tournament for the team’s second tournament selection in as many years and fifth in program history. 5 overall seed Princeton in the second round. “We travel well … [and] we had a tremendous record on the road [this year],” head coach Jenny Graap ’86 said after the Ivy Tournament loss to Princeton Sunday morning. The announcement came less than eight hours after the women were denied a second consecutive Ivy Tournament title by Princeton, who took a 12-9 win at Schoellkopf. The team finished the regular season tied for first in the league, but won a tiebreaker for the rights to host the Ivy Tournament.
