“I think that she is one of the best players I’ve ever played with and one of the smartest players I’ve ever played with and I know that hockey is not done for her. I’m really excited to see what happens in the draft coming up.”
Daniel led Cornell to fourth place in the ECAC regular season, the semifinals of the ECAC tournament and the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament.
After going down 1-0 early, the Red battled back to tie the game in the second, before conceding the game-winning goal with just four minutes left in regulation, ending Cornell’s season in crushing fashion.
The Red will now face Colgate — who is undefeated against Cornell in three games this year — on Saturday evening with a chance to advance to the Frozen Four on the line.
“I think we learned a lot from that [Colgate] game and going into Saturday, that’s when the real win matters. That’s when it’s life or death. So I think we’re ready,”
An impressive 39-save effort from Bergmann was not enough, and, for the third time this season, the Raiders had bested the Red.
As the stage is set for the ECAC tournament semifinals, fans can anticipate an intense matchup between Cornell and Colgate, with both teams vying for a chance to secure the championship title.
The 1,230-strong crowd erupted for one last time as the final horn sounded as chants of “We want Colgate” echoed throughout Lynah.
