The second-seeded Duke Blue Devils will travel to Princeton, N.J., this Sunday to face Cornell in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Tournament. Face-off is set for 3 p.m., and the contest will be televised by several outlets nationwide.
Sunday's game will air on the following networks live: CN8, CSN (Comcast Sports Net), Altitude (Colorado), Mediacom (Iowa), Charter-St. Louis, TWC-Memphis, TWC Syracuse and Comcast Sportsnet West. In addition, ESPNU will broadcast the contest on a tape delay basis on Sunday evening at 8 p.m.
The Duke-Cornell matchup will serve as the back end of a quarterfinal doubleheader on the Princeton University campus. Third-seeded Maryland and sixth-seeded Georgetown will play at 12 noon.
The Blue Devils enter the weekend at 15-2 overall and fresh off last Saturday's 23-4 victory over Fairfield. Duke's starting attack unit -- Matt Danowski, Dan Flannery & Zack Greer -- combined for 12 goals and nine assists in the game while midfielder Brad Ross secured 14-of-19 face-offs and contributed two goals and one assist.
Cornell, the Ivy League champion, stands at 11-2 on the season and has won nine consecutive games. The last defeat for the Big Red came on March 23 in a 9-5 decision at North Carolina. Cornell advanced to the quarterfinals with a 12-11 opening round win at seventh-seeded Towson last Saturday evening.
The Big Red ranks second nationally in scoring offense behind Duke, averaging 12.1 goals per game. Kevin Nee has 36 goals and 12 assists on the year to lead the team while Sean Greenhalgh has chipped in 30 goals and 15 assists. The Duke defense, led by All-ACC selections Aaron Fenton and Tony McDevitt, will look to hold down a Cornell offensive unit that has reached double figures in the scoring column in eight of its last nine games including a 16-goal effort on April 12 during a two-goal win over defending NCAA champion Syracuse.
Danowski continues to lead Duke and the ACC in scoring with 78 points on 42 goals and 36 assists while Greer has become just the second player in league history to score 50 goals as a freshman. Greer's total of 50 tallies stands just three goals shy of matching John Fay's school single-season record set in 1997. Flannery, who has an ACC-best five game-winning goals to his credit this season, ranks third on the team with 61 points on 39 goals and 22 assists.
