ITHACA, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — It was a busy Monday afternoon at the Cornell Store, as students, graduates and their families were loading up on merch before the big game. 'I feel like this year's team is very special. 16 seniors, they've been there before, and CJ Kirst is playing on a phenomenal level,' said store manager JT Tompkins. 'It feels like this is the year.' But it wasn't busy enough for Tompkins to miss the game. He wanted nothing more than for CJ Kirst to go out on top.

At the Ithaca Ale House, the bar is packed as these Big Red fans are taking in the game for Memorial Day. 'Lacrosse is a little special. It's my favorite sport.

Cornell wins first NCAA men's lacrosse tournament title since 1977 with defeat of Maryland
Cornell wins first NCAA men's lacrosse tournament title since 1977 with defeat of Maryland The wait is finally over for Cornell. After nearly five decades, the Big Red are finally on top of the men's lacrosse world once again. Top-seeded Cornell (18-1) defeated No. 2 Maryland 13-10 in front of a Memorial Day crowd of 32,512 at Gilette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, to claimed their fourth NCAA title and first since 1977. The Terrapins (14-5) won the title in 2022 but had to settle for a runner-up finish for the third time in the last five NCAA tournaments. Two days after Cornell relied on its supporting cast to survive a semifinal challenge from Penn State, the Big Red's biggest stars shined brightest in the final. CJ Kirst, who will likely be adding the Tewaaraton Award to his trophy case later this week, notched six goals and an assist, and his fellow attackman Ryan Goldstein found the net four times. Five of Kirst's six tallies came after halftime as the Big Red asserted control of the game. finishes The teams traded goals for the first 20 minutes of clock time, with a marker from Maryland's Eric Spanos knotting the game at 4-4 with 8:38 remaining in the second quarter. But Andrew Dalton gave the Big Red the lead 46 seconds later, and the Terrapins couldn't draw even the rest of the way. Kirst, held off the score sheet for the first time in his college career in Saturday's defeat of Penn State in the semifinals, finally got on the board with 1:49 left in the first half. That appeared to break the ice for him as he figured in six of the Big Red's seven goals following intermission, putting an exclamation point on the day with an empty-net tally in the final minute to seal the victory. With his six-goal outburst, Kirst brought his season total to 82, matching the division I record for goals in a single campaign. With his 33rd assist, he stretched his already record points total to 115. Spanos paced the Terps with two goals and two assists, with Braden Erksa and Zach Whittier chipping in a pair of goals each. But Wyatt Knust recorded 12 saves behind a solid effort from the Big Red defense.

Trial for Freedom Convoy Organizer Continues as Defence Argues for Stay of Proceedings
OTTAWA—The lawyer for Freedom Convoy organizer Chris Barber is continuing to argue in court for a stay of proceedings on the basis of an 'officially induced error of law,' claiming that he was given erroneous legal advice on the legality of the trucker protest. Barber and Tamara Lich were already found guilty of mischief, while Barber was also found guilty of counselling others to disobey a court order, for their role in the 2022 trucker protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other pandemic restrictions. Justice Heather Perkins-McVey ruled on April 3 that the pair were not guilty of the other charges of intimidation, obstructing police, and counselling others to do the same. Both were also found guilty of counselling others to commit mischief, but that finding was stayed at the request of Crown lawyers. Crown prosecutors are seeking two years of prison time for Lich and Barber, as well as to auction off Barber's iconic truck 'Big Red,' which he used to travel from Saskatchewan to Ottawa and parked in the downtown core for three weeks. The sentencing for the two organizers has not happened yet. In the meantime, Barber's lawyers are requesting that the proceedings be stayed because he sought legal advice from his previous lawyers, police officers, and a Superior Court judge on the legality of the protest. A stay of proceedings would lead to Barber's case being put on hold, and he would likely not face any charges. Defence lawyer Diane Magas has said that the Ottawa Police Service was aware of the protest ahead of its arrival and directed Barber where to park his truck. At two injunction hearings around silencing the honking of truck horns, Barber was also told by his lawyer at the time that he could continue protesting as long as it was done peacefully and safely, and that he could honk his horn in situations of emergency, and that breaching this injunction against honking would not be a criminal offence. Related Stories 10/28/2023 4/3/2025 Barber was charged with counselling others to disobey a court order for a Feb. 7, 2022, TikTok video where he encouraged protesters to honk their vehicle horns if they saw police arriving. This violated the court injunction that had come into force the same day, Perkins-McVey ruled. Arguments Over Officially Induced Error of Law On May 23, defence lawyer Magas said Ottawa Police Service officers suggested that Barber could remain at the protest. She said that since Barber coordinated with the police to move trucks out of the downtown core on Feb. 14, 'from that conduct and words, he was induced into believing that what he was doing was lawful.' Magas also said Barber had asked his lawyer at the time to seek guidance from the lawyer imposing the injunction about whether they could continue protesting. She added that during this injunction hearing, the justice also said it was a civil process and not a criminal one. Justice Perkins-McVey pushed back and said Barber had not specifically asked the police officers whether what he was doing was legal, and said the injunction hearing was only ruling on the issue of horn honking. Crown attorney Siobhain Wetscher said that while Barber had received 'bad legal representation' from his lawyer, that was not an error on the part of an agent of the state. She said that in order for an 'officially induced error of law' to apply, the erroneous legal advice needed to come from a government official responsible for administering the law. Wetscher also said that Barber had confirmed during cross-examination on May 22 that nobody from the office of the mayor of Ottawa told him that the Freedom Convoy was lawful, peaceful, or safe. Justice Perkins-McVey said if Barber or the other Freedom Convoy organizers had sought specific advice on where they were or were not acting unlawfully, then 'we wouldn't be here.' Crown attorney Wetscher also said that while Barber was told by a police officer that parts of the demonstration were unlawful, but was told by his lawyer that it was not illegal, 'there were no steps taken by [Barber] to get clarity on those two very divergent positions.'
