Scores after 1:

Harvard 1 Princeton 1
Quinnipiac 1 Dartmouth 0
SLU 1 RPI 0

Late in 1st:

Union 1 Clarkson 0

1-0 Union after 1 in Potsdam.

If Union gets the win in that game, they are home in the first round.

1-0 Union after 1 in Potsdam.

It's in Schenectady.

1-0 Union after 1 in Potsdam.

It's in Schenectady.

Well, the score's still the same in Potsdam...

1-1 at Bright, halfway through the 2nd.

Harvard 2 Princeton 1

Harvard 2 Princeton 2, 14:03 gone in the 2nd

SLU 2 RPI 0

This is all well and good, but is Clarkson's band playing during play?

2-2 after 2 at Harvard.

All scores at the start of the 3rd:

1:21 to go at Bright, 3-2 Harvard.

FINAL: Harvard 3 Princeton 2

Quinnipiac 3 Dartmouth 1, late 3rd.

Quinnipiac 4 Dartmouth 1, later 3rd.

FINAL: Quinnipiac 4 Dartmouth 1

FINAL: SLU 2 RPI 0

Union 2 Clarkson 1, 6 mins to go.

FINAL: Union 2 Clarkson 1

That means we get Quinny if the favorites all win next week.

And, if the first round games hold form, each quarterfinal features the higher-seeded team vs. what could be considered a "nightmare" opponent... except for us.

Harvard took three of four points against SLU, Dartmouth beat Princeton twice(, we took 3 points against Quinnipiac), and both Union and Clarkson took 2 points from Yale this year.

Sounds great to me.

Yes.

Sounds great to me.

No matter what, Cornell draws an opponent it's had success against this season:
Clarkson- 1-0-1
Union- 2-0-0
RPI- 2-0-0
QU 1-0-1
Colgate 1-0-2

Also for the first round, Harvard is winless vs. Brown this season, though I don't expect that to last much past Friday.

Tomorrow's game matters only for Yale's PWR and potential DQs. Sets up as a big trap game for Yale heading into the bye, cleary and hobey in hand.

Yale and Colgate are scoreless after one. Game is being televised on ESPNU.

edit: still scoreless after two.

Thanks for the score. Game Tracker isn't working in real time.

Colgate just scored to tie it 1-1 with about 7:15 to go.

Yale scores with 4:39 to go: 2-1

Yale goes up 2-1 with 4:39 left.

Why is Yale wearing blue? Did Colgate only bring their whites because Brown was in black and pink?

Goal being reviewed...

Colgate tied it 2-2. About 1:30 to go in the third.

Edit: Going to overtime. Colgate ties record with 16th overtime this year.

Edit: Yale is currently 7 in PWR. Tie drops them to 8. A loss drops them to 9.

cool

And Colgate wins it 3-2

And Colgate wins it 3-2

And if we could have beaten Yale, we'd be in first.

This probably helps Cornell's RPI very incrementally because we played Colgate 3 times. Hard to say...

No, that wouldn't have been enough. We're 3 points behind. Beating Yale is a 4 point flip.

If first place had been on the line, Yale probably would have won the Sunday game with Colgate 11-0.

Actually, you can check with [slack.net]

It looks like switching the result to a Yale win would drop our strength of schedule from .4987 to .4986, but wouldn't be enough to impact our RPI, rounded to four decimal places, at .5464. (Of course, it would bump Yale ahead of us in the RPI rankings.) I think this reduced impact is in part because of the wacky 25/21/54 weightings they're using for RPI these days, since the switch would hurt our opponents' percentage but improve our opponents' opponents' percentage...
