Cornell comes into Monday after pulling off one of the biggest wins in program history, downing No. 1 seed Virginia, 15-6. Led by a defense that's held its last two opponents to 10 total goals and an offense that caught fire against UVA, the Big Red's riding high. Syracuse, the defending national champs dismantled Duke, 17-7, in Saturday's national semifinals. Led by a contingent of seniors who have seen the program go from 'the lowest of lows' to new heights, the Orange have been electric all year long.

The Men's Lacrosse Championships at Gillette Stadium officially opened up with Media Day and the team dinners on Thursday, a day packed with wide-eyed players looking up at 69,000 vacant seats at Gillette, All-American attackmen sporting Lady Gaga sunglasses, a buffet that was designed for 500 people that was easily dispensed with by about 200 lacrosse players and coaches, a delayed flight from Durham, some Cornell-attire-bashing from John Kraft (president of the Kraft Group) and a lot more.

Check back later for video from Day One, including but not limited to tournament director Phil Buttafuoco explaining how Gillette '09 is going to blow away Gillette '08 and a Virginia defenseman counting out pi to almost 40 digits.

And also, stay tuned for a full wrap of the day and a story on a member of the Cornell team who, two decades ago, wasn't sure if he'd walk again.
