No. 6 seed Rutgers Lacrosse will face No. 7 seed Cornell on Saturday in the Final Four

Now RU has started the half on fire … win some faceoffs and it could get interesting!
 
Jesus still with the turnovers.

Same as the 1st half it's a carbon copy at this point now #27 bullies in for a goal. 10-4
 
Playing our worst game of the year in the Final Four...so sad
 
Gar over. We are absolutely killing ourselves. I believe that’s 5 goals off TO’s already.
 
This year RU learned from that UNC game and made the Final Four … this might be a springboard to make the finals next year.
 
Oh well team just doesn't have it today too many mistakes. They've looked a step slow from the get go. It's a rout now 12-4.

hope so, but team going to lose a lot of guys this off-season. Think this was our year…oh well
 
Ok … UNC game was 12-4 then 13-5 … history will repeat itself.
 
There is absolutely no question whatsoever that the pressure of being the first team to make the final 4, at our school, without question got to them today.

That being said - in my most humble of opinions - Cornell came in with a much better game plan than we did.
 
Can’t say RU never makes a final … was 0-2 this year but Soccer and WBB did it before.

RU got cranked by Princeton, Cornell and UMD. Not bad company to lose to, but didn’t put up any fight in any of them.

Agreed team is playing tight. Cornell is playing a more physical game. Rutgers looks like they are running with cement shoes on. No get up and go today.

Didn’t think they would solve Maryland but very disappointed in the performance today. Really thought they had a good chance to get to the finals.

Hey they had a great season and Brecht seems willing to continue to bring in proven talent via the portal to keep us highly competitive.

All losses were to Final 4 teams … locked up the Number 4 ranking (improved from 5th from last year).
 
What a terrible defensive game plan, feel bad for Colin.
Nah. This it 19th game of the season. We are who we are. This is our style. We don’t slide and we are not good at it when we do. Their guys are beating our guys. It’s that simple.

It’s uncharacteristic turnovers, lack of gbs and giving up fast breaks that is costing us this game.
 
Not a Lax guy, but it seems like Cornell has been the far more physical team and it’s affected us

Not necessarily the plan. It may be the execution. As good as Cornell's slides have been Rutgers' have been bad. Irlan, after a few bad games late in the season, has been solid in goal. And I can'remember Rutgers turning the ball over as much this season.
 
Cornell is faster on offense, and our defenders had trouble keeping up.

In contrast, for as good a year that Bartolo, Jacoby, and Cameron had, they’re more “post up” big guys and don’t have the speed and quickness that Cornell’s wings had.
 
Damn … RU got Psyched out today … totally fell apart … playing like sh!t … not a good matchup for RU.
