“It will have NCAA implications for us, it will have ECAC implications for us and it will have Ivy League implications for us. It’s a fun time of year because you know every night you’re playing in a game that will make a difference down the stretch.”
“At this time of year you want to become the best version of yourself, so we will be focused on improving our habits so we continue to improve.”
“We have now seen all the teams in our league so our focus can turn to our team and what we need to do to get better each week.”
Sitting at fourth in the conference behind Clarkson, Colgate and St. Lawrence, Cornell may be facing its most crucial weekend yet in terms of postseason implications.
“[We] … totaled almost 100 shots on the weekend … [and] we need to improve on goal scoring and having some more finesse around the net.”
All five players were teammates on the 2011-2012 Cornell team, which took a 30-5 season all the way to the national semifinals.
Improving its stellar road record, Cornell defeated No. 10 Providence twice on the Friars own ice to complete the sweep this past weekend.
With the chance to prove itself against the national No. 1 team, Cornell was unable to seize the opportunity against Wisconsin.
“If we were killing a penalty, or had a poor shift in our end, everyone continued to push past those setbacks instead of being defeated.”
“There were a lot of positives in our first weekend. But we need to learn to be more consistent in our play.”
