FAMILY TIES: Head Coach Matt Kerwick s parents Thomas and the late Patricia Kerwick, as well as his sister Ann, all graduated from Cornell.

Gilbane, ON THE ROAD: With freezing temperatures forcing the Big Red to relocate its Feb. 24 contest vs. Binghamton to a neutral site, Cornell played its first six games away from Schoellkopf Field. That was the longest stretch of consecutive games away from Ithaca since the 1953 team opened the season with a stretch of six games played at Baltimore, Duke, UNC, RPI, Syracuse and Hobart... Only three other teams in Division I have had roads swings of six or more games to open the season: 1) Marquette 10 games 2) Cornell, Canisius, Manhattan 6 games MLL DRAFT FACTS: Senior midfielder Connor Buczek was selected second overall by the Florida Launch in the 2015 Major League Lacrosse Draft becoming the Big Red s highest ranked draft pick since Rob Pannell was taken first overall by the New York Lizards in Cornell had a pair of third round selections in senior attackman Matt Donovan (18th Chesapeake Bayhawks) and senior defensemen Jordan Stevens. (21st Rochester Rattlers). Cornell was one of eight schools with three or more players drafted, but of those eight schools, only Notre Dame also featured a first round draft pick (Jack Near seventh overall). Since having a program-high five players selected in the 2007 MLL Draft, the Big Red has had multiple picks in five of the last nine drafts. In that same time frame, Cornell has had five first round draft picks, including one selection at No. 1 (Pannell), and two at No. 2 (Buczek and Max Seibald). ON THE WORLD STAGE: The Big Red had 10 former or current players suit up on the field at this past summer s 2014 Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) World Championships, including junior Brennan Donville, Jesse Gamble 11 and Jason Noble 13, who took home the gold medal with Team Canada. Additionally, Mitch Belisle 07, Max Seibald 09, and Rob Pannell 13 earned silver with Team USA, while Myan Adams 13 won the bronze with the Iroquois Nation. Cornell also had two players with Israel Lacrosse (Coldy Levine 13 and Cole McCormack 14) and one with Team Sweden (Sten Jernudd 14). RECAPPING 2014: Under the direction of Interim Head Coach Matt Kerwick, the 2014 squad exceeded all expectations. Cornell was selected 17th overall in the 2014 Inside Lacrosse Face-Off Yearbook Preseason Poll, marking the first time since being tabbed 11th in 2003 that Cornell was chosen to finish outside the top 10. Once the Big Red season began on Feb. 22, the team rose in the USILA poll for four straight weeks before earning a No. 2 ranking on March 24. Altogether, the team stayed in the top 10 for five straight weeks. The Big Red opened the season with a 9-0 record and was the last undefeated team in the nation. The 9-0 start was the best by a first-year coach in Cornell history since Ned Harkness won 22 straight and the team finished with an 11-5 record overall and a mark of 5-1 in the Ivy League. The team won the Ivy League title and earned an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, where it fell to national semifinalist Maryland on a goal scored with two seconds to play in the contest. Following the season, Cornell swept the major Ivy League awards with Connor Buczek and Christian Knight earning Player and Rookie of the Year honors, respectively. The Big Red also had seven All-Ivy selections, including four first-team honorees, and five All-Americans.
