Men's Lacrosse Weekly Release - Week 7
Complete Weekly Ivy League Men's Lacrosse Release in pdf format
PRINCETON, N.J. -- It was another dramatic
weekend of Ivy men’s lacrosse play, with two of the
League’s three contests going to overtime. In fact, the two
overtime games needed a combined seven overtime stanzas to
determine winners, including Princeton and Brown’s four
overtime thriller which the Tigers won, 5-4. It was the second
longest game in Princeton history, while the Bears last played a
four-overtime game on March 24, 2007, when Dartmouth beat Brown,
9-8.
For the second consecutive weekend, Penn and Yale each found
themselves embroiled in an overtime Ivy game, this time with each
other. In the end, the Quakers pulled out a 10-9 triple overtime
win on a Drew Belinsky game-winning goal to take
control of second place in the League standings.
With a 19-8 win over a Dartmouth team that brought a 1-0 Ivy mark
into the weekend, Cornell moved to 3-0 in Ivy play, asserting
itself atop the League standings. Junior offensive stalwart
Rob Pannell led the Big Red attack with nine
points in the game on four goals and five assists.
With the Ivy bye, Harvard split a pair of non-conference games
last week, including a midweek home win over 14th-ranked
Massachusetts, 11-9, under the lights of Harvard Stadium. Hat
tricks by Dean Gibbons and Jeff
Cohen led to the Crimson win. Over the weekend, Harvard
was edged at Albany, 12-11. Brown played the other midweek
non-conference game, falling 12-7 at third-ranked Duke despite a
David Hawley hat trick and two goals from
Andrew Feinberg.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Cornell junior attackman Rob Pannell (Smithtown,
N.Y.) reached a personal milestone, registering a career best nine
points to lead the Big Red to a 19-8 win over Dartmouth on
Saturday. His nine points also matched the single-game high in the
NCAA this season and his four goals tied a career-best mark. Six of
Pannell’s nine points came in the opening half of play as the
Big Red built an insurmountable 11-2 lead en route to the 19-8
final. Pannell actually gave Cornell the lead for good when he
broke a 1-1 tie as he scored his first goal of the game with one
second remaining in the first quarter.
It marks Panell’s third Ivy League Player of the Week honor
this season, having also earned the distinction on March 7 and
March 14. With his final assist of the afternoon, Pannell notched
his 200th career point for the Big Red.

ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Harvard freshman midfielder Daniel Eipp (Groton,
Mass.) continued his stellar rookie season by scoring four goals
and adding an assist in Harvard’s two games last week. Eipp
tallied a goal and an assist in the Crimson’s comeback win
over No. 14 Massachusetts on Tuesday. Eipp also collected a ground
ball in the victory. Then at Albany on Saturday, Eipp recorded the
second hat trick of his young career, scoring three goals on six
shots. His second goal of the afternoon tied the game at 9-9 early
in the fourth quarter and he then gave the Crimson a 10-9 lead, but
Albany eventually rallied for a 12-11 win. Eipp also earned Ivy
League Rookie of the Week honors on March 14.

THIS WEEK
With the fourth set of League games set to take place on Saturday,
April 9, the Ivy teams are starting to feel the pressure to secure
valuable wins in order to chase down the 2011 League title or to
finish in the top-four, which would qualify them for the 2011 Ivy
League postseason tournament.
Twelfth-ranked Penn and Brown kick off Saturday’s slate,
with the Quakers traveling to Providence, R.I. A Penn win would at
least keep it within one game of Cornell at the top of the League
standings; while Brown is looking to secure its first Ivy win of
2011.
Sixth-ranked Cornell carries a four-game winning streak and an
unblemished Ivy record (3-0) into its game versus the Crimson at
Harvard Stadium, which will be broadcast to a nationwide audience
by CBS College Sports. Harvard will be looking to return from its
Ivy bye week with a win that would vault it into the thick of the
title race.
Dartmouth and 18th-ranked Yale will square off in New Haven,
Conn., with both teams hoping for a second Ivy win of the year.
Finally, Princeton has the Ivy bye and will be looking to upset
top-ranked Syracuse in a home game that is slated to be played at
Princeton Stadium and broadcast live to a nationwide audience by
ESPNU.
