Join the Classes of ’77 and '78 for a webinar exploring NCAA lacrosse’s first dynasty – Cornell’s march to national dominance in the 1970s!  Under Hall of Fame coach Richie Moran, Big Red lacrosse became a powerhouse, winning the inaugural NCAA Lacrosse Championship in 1971, and then again in 1976 and 1977, highlighted by a 42-0 win streak.
