Princeton Capitalizes in Waning Moments to Win At Lynah

By |

The Cornell men’s hockey team (15-4-4, 10-3-3 ECAC) was less than a minute away from a four-point weekend and a sweep of the season series with preseason ECAC Hockey favorite Princeton(17-6-0, 11-5-0 ECAC), when everything fell apart. After being stymied by the Red defense for most of the game, the Tigers scored two quick goals in the last minute of the third period to stun the crowd at Lynah Rink and topple the home team, 2-1.

Princeton Snaps Red’s Ancient Eight Win Streak

By |

The bigger they are, the harder they fall, or so the saying goes. The men’s basketball team, the preseason pick to repeat as Ivy League champion and owners of a 19-game Ivy win streak, fell hard on Friday, 61-41, to Princeton. Cornell (15-7, 5-1 Ivy League), the heavy favorite heading into the game, only had one player score double figures in a game that was defined by tough Princeton (9-8, 4-0) defense. The Tigers had four players in double figures and shot 50 percent from the field and 57 percent from behind the 3-point line.

W. Hockey Ends With Two Ties

By |

Traveling to play Quinnipiac and Princeton this weekend, the women’s hockey team came away with tied results in both games — a 4-4 score against Quinnipiac and 2-2 against Princeton.
“Both games were kind of similar. We were winning, we had the lead, and they ending up coming back and getting us, tying us, which is unfortunate and frustrating at the same time,” said freshman forward Catherine White.

Home Losses Hurt W. B-Ball’s Playoff Chances

By |

After starting conference play strong, Cornell lost back to back games at Newman Arena to Princeton and Penn this past weekend, falling to fifth in the Ivy League standings.
“We messed up big. You don’t lose on your home court like this,” said senior forward Shannan Scarselletta, also a Sun columnist.
“This weekend was a tough two games,” added junior guard Virginia McMunigal. “We’re just hoping to go in this week and have a strong week of practice.”
Following the doubleheader, the Red’s record on the season dropped to 7-11 overall, and 3-3 in conference play.

Sports Update: Barlow's Overtime Goal Lifts Men's Hockey Over Quinnipiac

By |

Men’s Hockey

On Friday night, the Red got back in the win column after last weekend’s 0-1-1 showing. Evan Barlow scored 2:52 into the overtime period to earn a 2-1 Cornell victory over Quinnipiac at Lynah.
Quinnipiac struck early, as Bobcats defenseman Brett Dickinson tallied his first goal of the season to put his team up 1-0 just 1:30 into the game. However, Brendon Nash scored a power-play goal on a slap-shot from the point at 15:10 of the first frame to tie the game up.
The score stayed knotted at one until the end of regulation.
Barlow’s overtime goal was also scored on the power-play, after he received a pass from Brendon Nash and wired a slap-shot on net that went through the legs of Quinnipiac goalie Dan Clarke. Ben Scrivens made 25 saves in the winning effort.

M. Hockey Looks to Rebound Against Quinnipiac, Princeton

By |

With a pair of top ECAC Hockey foes coming to Ithaca this weekend, Lynah Rink will host either a dramatic turnaround for the home team, or another troubling episode in a once-spotless season. The men’s hockey team has to overcome a string of bad fortune against Quinnipiac, which played Cornell to a tie back in November, when it takes the ice at Lynah tonight — with nationally-ranked defending ECAC champion Princeton coming tomorrow night.

Men’s Basketball Set to Face Ivy League Foes on the Road

By |

Last weekend, the men’s basketball team made history with blowout wins over Brown and Yale. This weekend, as the team travels to Penn and Princeton, the Red could make history again with two wins regardless of the margin of victory.
Traditionally the toughest road trip for any Ivy League basketball team, the Penn-Princeton road trip has put many winning streaks to rest since the Ancient Eight’s inception in 1956. After sweeping each team last year, however, Cornell (14-6, 4-0 Ivy) could become the first-ever squad to sweep the Penn-Princeton road trip in back-to-back seasons.
The Red will also look to build on its nine-game winning streak — including seven straight by double figures.

Women’s Basketball Staying Home To Battle Ivy Foes Tigers, Quakers

By |

The last time Penn and Princeton visited Ithaca, Cornell needed to beat both teams to stay alive in the race for the Ivy title. They did just that, outscoring the Tigers and Quakers by a combined 32 points before triumphing over Dartmouth for the right to represent the Ivy League in the NCAA Tournament.
The Red (7-9, 3-1 Ivy) are again already battling Dartmouth (8-9, 3-0) for first place in the conference standings, and this weekend is Cornell’s last opportunity to log some more wins before traveling to play Ivy powerhouses Harvard (10-7, 2-1) and Dartmouth.
