Cornell lacrosse made history by securing its NCAA tournament spot after winning the Ivy League title against Princeton, marking its first championship win since 2018. With a remarkable 10-game winning streak, the Big Red stands as the top seed in the NCAA tournament. Co-captain CJ Kirst has not only excelled on the field but also made headlines as the all-time leading goal-scorer in NCAA history, as well as being the first pick in the PLL draft. This season, fueled by past disappointments, Cornell is looking to make a significant impact in the tournament.
"The failure [to make the 2024 NCAA Tournament] hurt," said Connor Buczek '15, head coach. "But the scars create a callus. They create a toughness and a resilience."
"It's always been my dream to keep playing lacrosse," said CJ Kirst. "I'm a huge fan of the league and what they're doing for the game, so to be able to join my older brothers is pretty cool."
