Big Red Slide: Cornell Drops to No. 10

Cornell checks in at No. 10, down from No. 5, and the arrow is pointing down. The 11-5 record still reflects a team that won a lot of lacrosse this spring, but a five-spot slide tells you the selection committee saw some slippage down the stretch. This is a program with real pedigree and a roster that knows what March and May are supposed to feel like. The question now is whether the drop lights a fire or confirms a trend. Either way, the Big Red have the resume to be dangerous — they just need to play like the team that climbed to No. 5 in the first place.
