Men's lacrosse faces Brown in must-win game for Tigers

One game away from the end of the regular season, Princeton men's lacrosse has no Ivy League Championship and no hope for an automatic bid to the NCAA Championship.Yet in the words of Paul Newman in the 1967 classic Cool Hand Luke:"Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand."Despite the lack of an automatic qualifier, the Tigers' solid record (8-3 overall, 4-1 Ivy League) and consistently high performance make them serious contenders for an at-large bid to the NCAAs."If we win on Saturday, I think we have a pretty definite shot at being in the tournament," head coach Bill Tierney said.Although Cornell has already clinched the automatic bid for the Ivy League, the Tigers may still obtain one of the 10 at-large bids doled out by the men's lacrosse committee on May 10.
