Cornell Coach Is Fired After Hazing Incident Cornell fired its men's lacrosse coach, Ben DeLuca, two months after the fall season was canceled because of hazing. An assistant, Matt Kerwick, will serve as the interim coach. An investigation determined that upperclassmen had hazed freshman players. The freshmen were made to drink beer, and some vomited. In three seasons under DeLuca, the team was 37-11.
