No. 7 Princeton Hosts No. 9/10 Cornell In Regular-Season Finale
April 29, 2010 | Men's Lacrosse
If you're a long-time Princeton men's lacrosse fan, you've had more than your share of a great moments, starting with six NCAA championships in the last 18 years.
You've also had a few tough days sprinkled in as well, and it's possible that the two toughest of all came last year. And the opponent both times? The Cornell Big Red.
Cornell knocked off Princeton 10-7 in the 2009 regular-season meeting between the teams, the first game Princeton played after becoming the No. 1 team in the country in both polls.
If that game stung, it had nothing on the rematch, which came four weeks later in the NCAA quarterfinals. Cornell ended Princeton's season with a 6-4 win, building a 5-1 halftime lead and then withstanding a ferocious Princeton defensive effort in the second half. The Big Red went on to the NCAA final, coming within a few seconds of the championship.
Cornell used the same formula in both games, getting a quick early lead and dominating possession. When both games ended, Princeton was left in utter frustration.
The NCAA game would be the last for Bill Tierney as Princeton head coach. The 2010 Princeton-Cornell meeting will be the first for Chris Bates as Tiger head coach (and as a head coach period, as Bates did not face Cornell in his 10 years as head coach at Drexel), and like last year, it might not be the only one of the season.
This year, with the Ivy League tournament, Princeton and Cornell could play this weekend and then six days later. Or eight days later. Of course, with all of the tournament possibilities, that is hardly set in stone.
Heading into the final day of the Ivy League regular-season, there are three games remaining. After those three play out, Princeton will be anywhere from the outright champion and Ivy tournament host and No. 1 seed to on the road as the No. 2 or No. 3 seed.
As for Cornell, the difference is even more dramatic. By the end of the day Saturday, Cornell could be in an two-way, three-way or even four-way tie for the Ivy title and the host for the tournament to out of the tournament all together.
* * *
Princeton, despite its loss to Harvard last weekend, has clinched at least a share of the Ivy League championship. A win against Cornell would give Princeton the outright title; a loss would mean that Princeton finishes tied with Cornell and possibly Yale and Brown.
Guaranteed at least a share of the 2010 title, Princeton has now won 25 Ivy League championships, one more than Cornell's 24.
Brown, with six, is next.
* * *
The Ivy League tournament will begin next Friday, May 7, with two semifinal games and then the final on Sunday, May 9. The tournament determines only the Ivy League's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament; the Ivy League champion (or champions) will be determined by the regular-season, and Princeton has already won at least a share.
Heading into the final three games (Cornell at Princeton, Dartmouth at Brown, Harvard at Yale), the only team definitely in is Princeton and the only team definitely out is Penn.
Princeton, Cornell or Brown could host. Cornell, Yale, Harvard and Brown would all get into the tournament by winning Saturday (Yale and Harvard play each other, so they both can't win).
There are eight possible scenarios; all eight are described a few pages from here.
* * *
Cornell has made a habit of getting off to fast starts against Princeton.
The NCAA game last year saw Cornell take a 2-0 lead in the first 3:36, lead 3-1 afterone and then 5-1 at halftime. Cornell would never trail in the game.
The regular season game in 2009 was no different: Cornell led 3-0 after 4:46 and would never trail in the game.
Even two years ago, in a game Princeton won 11-7 on Powers Field at Princeton Stadium, Cornell got off to a 2-0 lead after 3:26.
Going back even further, Cornell scored 43 seconds into the first quarter of the 2007 game in Ithaca. That game became 4-1 after 11 minutes, and Cornell won 10-6 without ever trailing as well.
It's also fair to say that Cornell dominated face-offs and possession against Princeton last year. In the two games, the Big Red won 23 of 32 face-offs and had an edge of 69-30 in ground balls.
* * *
The marquee individual matchup of last year's two games was the one between then-freshmen Chad Wiedmaier of Princeton and Rob Pannell of Cornell.
In two games, Pannell had one goal and five assists. He took 12 shots to score his one goal and turned the ball over six times, three of which were caused by Wiedmaier.
* * *
The only current Princeton players who have ever scored a goal against Cornell are the McBride cousins, Jack and Chris.
Both cousins had one goal in each of the two games last year, and Jack had two goals in the game freshman year, giving him four for his career. Chris McBride has one assist against Cornell, and Scott MacKenzie has no goals but three assists.
No other Princeton player has a career point against the Big Red.
On the other hand, Rob Engelke will be making his first career start against Cornell, and freshmen middies Mike Chanenchuk, Jeff Froccaro, Chris White and Tucker Shanley have obviously never played against Cornell.
Additionally, Princeton has used Froccaro and Peter Smyth primarily on face-offs; neither of them has faced-off against Cornell.
* * *
Mike Chanenchuk has scored 24 goals, tied with Peter Trombino for the second highest total ever by a Princeton freshman. Trombino scored 24 in the 2004 season.
Back in 1999, B.J. Prager scored 25, which is the most ever by a Princeton freshman. Obviously, Chanenchuk needs one more to tie the record.
Chanenchuk has already scored more goals than any other freshman middie, beating Jesse Hubbard's 23 last week against Harvard. Hubbard played middie for his entire freshman season of 1995, when the starting attack was Jon Hess, Chris Massey and Scott Conklin.
There are six Princeton players who have reached 20 goals as freshmen. The five who have concluded their careers rank first (Hubbard, with 163), second (Massey with 146), third (Sean Hartofilis with 126), fifth (Prager with 118 and a missed half-season due to a knee injury) and ninth (Trombino with 98) in goals scored at Princeton.
Chanenchuk has scored his 24 goals on 74 shots. Prager took just 49 shots to score his 25 goals, while Trombino needed 52 to score his 24. On the other hand, Hubbard took 92 shots to score 23 goals as a freshman.
* * *
Jack McBride has 81 career goals, 18th-best all-time at Princeton. He also has 19 assists, and his goal against Harvard made him the 24th player in school history to reach the 100-point mark for a career.
He is the eighth player in school history to reach at least 80 goals as a junior. Of the other seven, only two made it past 90 as juniors. In fact, those two are Jesse Hubbard, who had 117 by the end of his junior year and Chris Massey, who had 112.
The other five to get to 80 by junior year: B.J. Prager (89 end of junior year, 118 for career), Justin Tortolani (87 end of junior year, 120 for career), Jason Doneger (86 end of junior year, 105 for career), Wick Sollers (85 end of junior year, 114 for career) and Sean Hartofilis (85 end of junior year, 126 for career)

You've also had a few tough days sprinkled in as well, and it's possible that the two toughest of all came last year. And the opponent both times? The Cornell Big Red.
Cornell knocked off Princeton 10-7 in the 2009 regular-season meeting between the teams, the first game Princeton played after becoming the No. 1 team in the country in both polls.
If that game stung, it had nothing on the rematch, which came four weeks later in the NCAA quarterfinals. Cornell ended Princeton's season with a 6-4 win, building a 5-1 halftime lead and then withstanding a ferocious Princeton defensive effort in the second half. The Big Red went on to the NCAA final, coming within a few seconds of the championship.
Cornell used the same formula in both games, getting a quick early lead and dominating possession. When both games ended, Princeton was left in utter frustration.
The NCAA game would be the last for Bill Tierney as Princeton head coach. The 2010 Princeton-Cornell meeting will be the first for Chris Bates as Tiger head coach (and as a head coach period, as Bates did not face Cornell in his 10 years as head coach at Drexel), and like last year, it might not be the only one of the season.
This year, with the Ivy League tournament, Princeton and Cornell could play this weekend and then six days later. Or eight days later. Of course, with all of the tournament possibilities, that is hardly set in stone.
Heading into the final day of the Ivy League regular-season, there are three games remaining. After those three play out, Princeton will be anywhere from the outright champion and Ivy tournament host and No. 1 seed to on the road as the No. 2 or No. 3 seed.
As for Cornell, the difference is even more dramatic. By the end of the day Saturday, Cornell could be in an two-way, three-way or even four-way tie for the Ivy title and the host for the tournament to out of the tournament all together.
* * *
Princeton, despite its loss to Harvard last weekend, has clinched at least a share of the Ivy League championship. A win against Cornell would give Princeton the outright title; a loss would mean that Princeton finishes tied with Cornell and possibly Yale and Brown.
Guaranteed at least a share of the 2010 title, Princeton has now won 25 Ivy League championships, one more than Cornell's 24.
Brown, with six, is next.
* * *
The Ivy League tournament will begin next Friday, May 7, with two semifinal games and then the final on Sunday, May 9. The tournament determines only the Ivy League's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament; the Ivy League champion (or champions) will be determined by the regular-season, and Princeton has already won at least a share.
Heading into the final three games (Cornell at Princeton, Dartmouth at Brown, Harvard at Yale), the only team definitely in is Princeton and the only team definitely out is Penn.
Princeton, Cornell or Brown could host. Cornell, Yale, Harvard and Brown would all get into the tournament by winning Saturday (Yale and Harvard play each other, so they both can't win).
There are eight possible scenarios; all eight are described a few pages from here.
* * *
Cornell has made a habit of getting off to fast starts against Princeton.
The NCAA game last year saw Cornell take a 2-0 lead in the first 3:36, lead 3-1 afterone and then 5-1 at halftime. Cornell would never trail in the game.
The regular season game in 2009 was no different: Cornell led 3-0 after 4:46 and would never trail in the game.
Even two years ago, in a game Princeton won 11-7 on Powers Field at Princeton Stadium, Cornell got off to a 2-0 lead after 3:26.
Going back even further, Cornell scored 43 seconds into the first quarter of the 2007 game in Ithaca. That game became 4-1 after 11 minutes, and Cornell won 10-6 without ever trailing as well.
It's also fair to say that Cornell dominated face-offs and possession against Princeton last year. In the two games, the Big Red won 23 of 32 face-offs and had an edge of 69-30 in ground balls.
* * *
The marquee individual matchup of last year's two games was the one between then-freshmen Chad Wiedmaier of Princeton and Rob Pannell of Cornell.
In two games, Pannell had one goal and five assists. He took 12 shots to score his one goal and turned the ball over six times, three of which were caused by Wiedmaier.
* * *
The only current Princeton players who have ever scored a goal against Cornell are the McBride cousins, Jack and Chris.
Both cousins had one goal in each of the two games last year, and Jack had two goals in the game freshman year, giving him four for his career. Chris McBride has one assist against Cornell, and Scott MacKenzie has no goals but three assists.
No other Princeton player has a career point against the Big Red.
On the other hand, Rob Engelke will be making his first career start against Cornell, and freshmen middies Mike Chanenchuk, Jeff Froccaro, Chris White and Tucker Shanley have obviously never played against Cornell.
Additionally, Princeton has used Froccaro and Peter Smyth primarily on face-offs; neither of them has faced-off against Cornell.
* * *
Mike Chanenchuk has scored 24 goals, tied with Peter Trombino for the second highest total ever by a Princeton freshman. Trombino scored 24 in the 2004 season.
Back in 1999, B.J. Prager scored 25, which is the most ever by a Princeton freshman. Obviously, Chanenchuk needs one more to tie the record.
Chanenchuk has already scored more goals than any other freshman middie, beating Jesse Hubbard's 23 last week against Harvard. Hubbard played middie for his entire freshman season of 1995, when the starting attack was Jon Hess, Chris Massey and Scott Conklin.
There are six Princeton players who have reached 20 goals as freshmen. The five who have concluded their careers rank first (Hubbard, with 163), second (Massey with 146), third (Sean Hartofilis with 126), fifth (Prager with 118 and a missed half-season due to a knee injury) and ninth (Trombino with 98) in goals scored at Princeton.
Chanenchuk has scored his 24 goals on 74 shots. Prager took just 49 shots to score his 25 goals, while Trombino needed 52 to score his 24. On the other hand, Hubbard took 92 shots to score 23 goals as a freshman.
* * *
Jack McBride has 81 career goals, 18th-best all-time at Princeton. He also has 19 assists, and his goal against Harvard made him the 24th player in school history to reach the 100-point mark for a career.
He is the eighth player in school history to reach at least 80 goals as a junior. Of the other seven, only two made it past 90 as juniors. In fact, those two are Jesse Hubbard, who had 117 by the end of his junior year and Chris Massey, who had 112.
The other five to get to 80 by junior year: B.J. Prager (89 end of junior year, 118 for career), Justin Tortolani (87 end of junior year, 120 for career), Jason Doneger (86 end of junior year, 105 for career), Wick Sollers (85 end of junior year, 114 for career) and Sean Hartofilis (85 end of junior year, 126 for career)
