The Underdogs Won

I've been writing recently about why Cornell shouldn't have been considered a huge underdog against UVA, and the team proved me right today.

Don't celebrate yet; the expectations are already being lowered for the final on Monday against Syracuse:

In 1988, the last time Cornell played for a national championship, it did so by beating Virginia, 19-6, in the semifinals. In the championship two days later, it lost to – guess who? – Syracuse.

The Orange already own a 15-10 win over Cornell on April 7, they looked great in Saturday’s 17-7 semifinal rout of Duke, and they have the experience of last year’s national championship to guide them.

See you back at Gillette Stadium on Monday for the Central New York showdown.
