Every Cornell Sports Team Is Doing Well Except Baseball

Well, almost. Cornell sports teams have had a lot of success this winter. The wrestling team was ranked as high as #2 in the nation and finished 5th in NCAAs. The men's hockey team finished 2nd in the ECAC and enters the NCAA tournament ranked #9 in the polls. The men's basketball team successfully defended its Ivy title and won another trip to NCAAs. The men's lacrosse team is ranked #4 in the nation.

Some alumni have given credit to Athletic Director Andy Noel, and said that even though Noel has done some things to upset hockey fans and fans of Cornell sports in general, it's hard to argue with success. And it's nice to see an article about Cornell in the Wall Street Journal that doesn't focus on the plunging value of our endowment.

But not every team is doing well. The baseball team lost all nine games during its spring break trip to California. Maybe Noel should build them a new facility or something. Seemed to work for wrestling.
