Let’s Go Red!

/in , /by

Happy Memorial Day!  If you’re looking for something fun to do tomorrow (Monday 5/26) midday, tune into ESPN and watch the Big Red men’s lax team take on the Maryland Terrapins for the national NCAA lacrosse title–1:00pm EDT on ESPN.

To make tomorrow’s game even more interesting, Cornell vs Maryland lacrosse is a storied rivalry—some consider the 1976 championship game be the greatest lacrosse game in NCAA history.

Our Big Red is the number one-ranked lacrosse team in the country and we have the best player in the country, CJ Kirst. And what is most impressive is that we are showing a bunch of big time athletic schools that true scholar-athletes can play the game at the highest level.

(Classmates Peter Kaplan and Bill Howard at yesterday’s semi-finals.)

So fire up the grill, grab your beverage of choice, put on some some red, and cheer for the Big Red!

Let’s Go Red,
