NEW YORK — For one moment Saturday night, the scoreboard said it all. Less than halfway through the first period in the men’s hockey team’s contest with Boston University at Madison Square Garden, the shot counter read “B.U. 8, Cornell 0.” While Cornell would eventually put up 28 shots on goal, this early statistic was emblematic of the Red’s defensive struggles. The defense, which had been solid in recent weeks, found difficulty in limiting B.U.’s offense, leading to the final outcome, 6-3, for the Terriers.
