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. -- Bill Fenwick Cornell '86 and probably '94 LET'S GO RED!!
