Men’s hockey: 3, Northeastern: 2
Senior Evan Barlow continued his late-season hot streak and scored the game-winner to lift Cornell to a 3-2 comeback win over Northeastern. The Red advances to play in the finals of the NCAA Midwest Regional at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday against the winner of Notre Dame-Bemidji St.
The two teams, noted for their similar styles, both played well in the contest with Northeastern taking the 2-0 lead in the second period. Northeastern goalie Brad Thiessen, the Hockey East Player of the Year, was stalwart between the pipes for the Huskies, but junior Blake Gallagher, who has been nursing a leg injury for the past few weeks, managed to slam one past Thiessen with 2:02 to play in the second period, pulling the Red within one.
Cornell tied the game on the power play in the third period when junior co-captain Colin Greening deflected a shot by Barlow past Thiessen.
The final Cornell goal came with 18 seconds left in regulation. Gallagher found sophomore Riley Nash in the Northeastern zone. Two Husky defenders converged on Nash and the forward fell to the ice, but managed to drop off the puck for Barlow who was streaking up from the Cornell end. Barlow beat Thiessen with a hard shot between the legs. The goal was Barlow’s sixth game-winner of the season, good for fourth in Division I hockey.
