As it did on Friday, the Red scored early and had plenty of chances to extend its lead, but could not pull away from its opponent.
Men’s hockey battled back and forth for sixty minutes with its bitter rival, but a fortunate bounce in overtime lifted the No. 7 Crimson over Cornell.
“Fish will be flying on the ice, the crowd will lose their mind.”
Freshman forward Dalton Bancroft’s hat trick led men’s hockey to a 6-0 victory over No. 6 UConn at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night.
“It’s our rink. It’s our home game,” said head coach Mike Schafer ’86. “Coming out of the tunnel and seeing 11,000 Cornellians and a sea of red, how awesome is that.”
“When you haven’t played well and you’re down a goal, you’re gonna find out a lot about yourself as a team. They just kept plugging away… I was very proud of them that no panic set in.”
Cornell used another successful night on the power play and a big second period to complete a six-point weekend.
The Red rode a lopsided second period to a commanding 5-2 victory over the Bulldogs.
After a 2-4 road trip to start the season, the Red will make its home debut next weekend against Brown and Yale.
Success on the power play fueled the Red to an offensive outburst in a 5-1 victory over St. Lawrence in Canton, New York.
