Drexal record is now 1-1, after a win against Lafayette, score 16-14, on their home field.

[HOF2013]

Should be a good game.  Dress for it - I would think that a little cold won't affect most fans.  We've been doing it for years.

[cwdickens]

I have noted that the starting time of Saturday's game was moved to 1:00 PM.

Didn't notice - good to know though.

 

[cwdickens]

Perhaps, a posting on the lacrosse page and/or social media would be helpful.

Due to the weather forecast, I have looked for a change of date and/or time.

Definitely going to have to watch this one on the stream!  This really is a must win game and too bad the weather could play a factor. Lafayette was supposedly going to be a team on the rise in the Patriot League this year after years as the doormat of that league so not sure what to make of the Drexel game. The progression from Syracuse to Cornell was good, but talked with one of the Cornell parents I know and the team got ripped a good one for the sloppy play against us.

Agree,  pretty much a must win; to determine if UA is the team that got trashed at SU or the one that TOOK it to Cornell. Might argue they got ripped because UA simply out played them. Also, they were damn lucky to have won at all and IMHO only did so, because of some equally sloppy officiating. I hope the Cornell coaching staff who I assume was doing the ripping, would be professional enough to give UA some CREDIT? 

Anyhow, don't understand why tomorrow's game could not be moved to Sunday-marginally warmer at least.

Agree on the weather and seems to make sense if possible to move it to Sunday. My understanding is the Cornell guys were complacent and expected to just roll in and get back on the bus with a fairly easy W. Our guys definitely played with a lot more heart and effort which was great to see. It was easy to be a bit too negative after game one, and maybe feeling a bit too much better after game two.  Regardless there was a pretty big jump from week one to week two which is what we all wanted to see.

No idea what to make of Drexel and as I said while Lafayette is supposed to be a lot better, they have been so bad for so long a close score was still surprising. 

[jimbo]

Good start, but sloppy play and penalties making it closer at the half than it should be.  Some of the sloppiest stuff maybe due to the weather. 

[cwdickens]

Horrible weather conditions for athletes and fans, that being said, one possible two penalties were questionable.

The cold hands of the athletes likely contributed to some of the turnovers on both sides.
