Cornell goalie Christian Knight appeared to be an unbreakable wall in the 2018 Ivy League tournament.
The senior keeper recorded 19 saves Friday to lead the Big Red past Brown 7-4 and then made another 16 stops Sunday in a 14-8 upset victory over top-seeded Yale for the conference crown and NCAA automatic bid.
His 35 saves in two games set a new Ivy League tournament record en route to becoming the MVP. For his performance, Knight is the Warrior/US Lacrosse Player of the Week.
"This is one of the happiest moments of my life," Knight said. "It's a really special thing to accomplish with really special team. We've been working hard all year long. We set our minds on winning an Ivy League tournament championship during the fall. So it feels really great to accomplish one of our goals."
