The decade started with men’s basketball’s Sweet 16 run and ended with women’s hockey’s trip to the Frozen Four.
“[Harvard’s] one of the more fun games of the year. Most of the fans there are Cornell fans, a lot of alumni. So it gets pretty rowdy in there.”
Cornell hockey took home half of the ECAC’s monthly accolades for November, winning Goaltender of the Month for both the men’s and women’s categories in addition to men’s Rookie of the Month.
The Red came from behind with 5:32 left in the game to down the Green, 20-17.
Clarkson was able to avoid Cornell’s lethal power-play unit until the final 10 minutes of the game. The Red came into the contest with a 40% conversion rate on the man advantage — it exited with that number at a prolific 43% after the winning goal came from Donaldson.
The Red seems to be rounding into form ahead of a pivotal pair of ECAC matchups.
The drama-filled 6-2 win brought No. 4 Cornell men’s hockey to 4-0 on the season and featured various scrums, Cornell going 2-for-5 on the power play and the ejection of Yale’s Curtis Hall for a dirty hit on junior forward Tristan Mullin.
“I gotta bear down here because there’s a couple guys on my back trying to get in the lineup … You’re there for your teammates, but at the same time, you’re trying to compete, and that makes them better and that makes you better at the same time.”
Once again, Cornell will be taking on a team whose season has already gotten underway. The 2-2 Michigan State team has wins against Colorado College and Northern Michigan thus far. Ivy League rules force the Red to start later than its non-Ivy opponents — a tradition that head coach Mike Schafer ’86 condemned as “archaic.”
This year, Brown brought back former player and assistant coach James Perry to head the squad. He, in turn, brought his nephew to Providence — junior quarterback E.J. Perry transferred from Boston College to play under Brown’s new head coach.
