“He was due,” head coach Mike Schafer ’86 said of his freshman.
A win against either Princeton or Quinnipiac would award Cornell’s coach of 23 years his 400th career win, passing longtime Maine head coach Shawn Walsh for 38th all-time.
“[It] shows maturity of him as a goaltender as the season has gone on,” head coach Mike Schafer ’86 said of Gillam.
“We’ve worked hard all week, and we look forward to getting back in the win column,” said senior forward Matt Buckles.
For the second-straight year, the hosts of the Florida College Hockey Classic were upset by a team with far lower expectations.
Though Cornell gave up seven power play chances, the team more than doubled the Wildcats’ shots, 42-20.
“It’s starting brand new,” Schafer said of the next slate of games. “It’s trying to get your act together and seeing how guys worked out over the break and exam period.”
“I was really proud of the guys the way they came ready to play tonight,” said a jovial head coach Mike Schafer ’86.
Last night, Cornell rallied to defeat Miami (OH) by a score of 4-3 and tonight, the Red look to sweep the RedHawks at Lynah Rink.
