Teat became the Red’s 3rd all-time point scorer during the abbreviated 2020 season, leading the team to a No. 2 national ranking.
After leading Cornell to an undefeated start and a No. 2 national ranking through five games in 2020, Milliman is leaving Ithaca. Cornell has chosen to promote from within, with now-former assistant coach Connor Buzcek ’15, MBA ’17 stepping in as interim head coach.
Despite the NCAA season’s coming to an abrupt halt, the awards continue coming for Cornell.
Cornell started the season with a 5-0 record and attained the No. 2 ranking before its season was cut short due to COVID-19.
“Late in the game, Penn State had all of the momentum coming back from down very deep,” Coyle said. “Our team never stopped believing and fought until the very last whistle.”
The Red narrowly escaped its first test of the season against a ranked opponent with a 17-16 win, which came in large part thanks to the help of early offensive firepower and late-game defensive heroics.
The Red picked up two road victories in comfortable fashion.
“Once our offense gets on a roll, they are one of the toughest in the country to defend,” Rasimovicz said.
Junior goaltender Matt Galajda continued his impressive season, this time notching 28 saves in a shutout performance.
Three of Cornell’s seniors scored in a 4-0 win against Columbia on Saturday in the last game of the year.
