Cornell struggled to play from behind once B.U. scored the game’s first goal.
Cornell will have an opportunity to avenge its last second loss to B.U. in January and to reach its first Frozen Four in twenty years.
“We’re a bit of an underdog going into it as the lower seed. It just gives us a little more motivation to try to take down the national champs.”
Cornell’s quest for its 13th ECAC title ended with an overtime loss to Harvard in the semifinals.
“It’s been a long process to get back to where we wanted to, which was to get to this point.”
Cornell prevailed in a penalty-riddled affair to sweep the Golden Knights and advance to the conference semifinals.
Cornell eked out a 2-1 win to take the first game of the best-of-three series.
The commanding win will send Cornell into its bye week on a high note after a dominant weekend.
Men’s hockey won the first of two important games in dominant fashion.
Cornell needs to win both games to keep its chances of securing an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament alive.
