Author: The Mountain LIon [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:10:58 03/05/24 Tue Columbia opened its season against a powerful Florida teams that is ranked #4 in the nation after losing in the College World Series last year to LSU. The Florida Gators are led by Jac Caglianone, a two-way player who is probably the leading baseball prospect in the nature. His physical stature resembles Aaron Judge. More than 6,000 fans attended one of the games which was third highest attendance in Florida History. As anticipated, the Lions struggled, but pitcher Andy Leon had an excellent outing and the Lion bats got going with Anton Lazits hitting two home runs. This past weekend Columbia opened at home at Satow Stadium with a three game sweep of Marist. Senior Jack Cooper was voted Ivy League Player of the Week after hitting three home runs in the series with a record breaking 8 rbis in a single game. Columbia, Penn, Harvard and several other Ivy League teams are looking good early in the season.

Author: IvySportsJunkie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:23:53 03/05/24 Tue On average, our women's Ivy team sports in softball, basketball, soccer and ice hockey tend to out perform the men's teams in their relative success during their out-of-conference schedules. For example, the Ivy softball teams' composite record is 22-39 in non-conference games, which favorably compares to the Ivy baseball composite record of 10-39 in non-conference games to date. The Ivy women's teams seem to have less recruiting competition from the Power conferences since there are fewer attractive professional sports team options for women compared to men. There are both far fewer women's professional sports teams and the average salaries are a fraction of the men's average salaries.

Author: Roar Lion [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:40:34 03/05/24 Tue Columbia bb looks to have the same issue as a year ago: plenty of hitting and not much pitching. Florida lighting up the pen doesn't mean much as the Gators will light up everybody's pen this spring. But Marist had struggled to score until they got into our 3rd SP and bullpen. I suspect CU will play a lot of 14-11 game threes in Ivy play.
