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.
Cornell is hoping to achieve its second sweep of the season against these two teams after earning a 1-0 win against Quinnipiac and a 3-1 win over Princeton at Lynah Rink in the first weekend of November.
After suffering a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Buckeyes, the Red rebounded the next day, earning a 5-1 win.
Senior defenseman Jamie Bourbonnais notched four points in the win.
“It definitely gets a little challenging to stay focused when the score gets up so high,” Bourbonnais said after the game. “I think that was a good test for us to see if we were mentally strong enough to stay focused.”
At just 12 years old, Min Shin ’22 appeared on Korean national television declaring her dream to one day play for the Korean National Women’s Ice Hockey team. Now, seven years later, the Cornell sophomore can finally don the Korean jersey.
Cornell is 5-0-1 on the season after a three-point North Country road trip.
Cornell’s recent history against Clarkson has been tumultuous: Last year, in the regular season, the Red secured a 3-1 win, but later in the season suffered a 4-0 loss against the Golden Knights. Most significantly, Clarkson deprived Cornell of the ECAC championship title in a 4-1 ECAC Final game.
The Red continued its impressive start to the season with a victory over another tough opponent.
The last time Cornell faced Princeton, the Red achieved victory to send Cornell to the ECAC finals, but the 3-2 win did not come easily. Rather, both teams were pushed to the brink of exhaustion in a double-overtime competition, in which the Red’s signature grit and determination prevailed.
