They didn't.  Cornell won the first-ever NC$$ lacrosse crown in 1971,
though, and I know of at least one player on the 1969-70 Big Red hockey team
who was also on the '71 lacrosse team (and thus at least has been on NC$$
championship teams in two different sports).  Bob Rule was the backup goal-
tender to Brian "29-0" Cropper in '69-'70 (he saw about one period of
action) and was an All-American goaltender with the '71 lacrosse team.
 
I'm not sure, but I think that Ned Harkness, who coached the Cornell hockey
team to its two championships in 1967 and 1970, also coached the lacrosse
team to a national championship during his tenure here.  The caveat is that
this would have taken place prior to 1971, and the "championship" was deter-
mined by a poll.
