Congrats to M. Lax

Major kudos to the men's lacrosse team for its win over Cornell the nation's second-ranked team -- today at Franklin Field.

The Quakers should be one of two undefeated teams in the nation right now (No. 1 Virginia is the other). But they played a bad game against Harvard last week, losing 13-8 to a Crimson squad that previously had just two wins.

Still, the 8-6 victory by Penn today is a fantastic feat. Hopefully, this will lay the groundwork for lacrosse becoming a popular spectator sport at Penn.

The spring sports season normally is a miserable time for the Quakers. Baseball and softball are simply unwatchable. Golf never plays on campus, and tennis and track compete at Penn just a couple times per year. Maybe lacrosse will even start drawing more fans to Franklin Field than football in a few years.

Now let's just hope that the team doesn't go into a men's soccer-esque late season losing streak. If the Quakers keep this up, they might even make it to the Final Four, which Penn is hosting at Lincoln Financial Field.
