Shots 65-16. That pretty much sums it up.

According to CU's stats, Jillian Saulnier has five goals on five shots this season. Not too shabby.

True, but our problem may be not enough competition during the season to carry us in the post season. Games like this weekend don't help a lot at the end of the year. Our Achilles may be too few players and too soft a schedule. We'll see.spitfire

I mostly agree. There are probably 4 teams in the country who are in CU's class of competition: Wisconsin, Minnesota, BU, BC. The next tier includes Mercyhurst, Dartmouth, and Harvard. Our NC slate is: 2 vs. BU, 3 vs. Mercyhurst, and 2 vs. Syracuse. That's a good NC lineup, considering our schedule limitations (see below)
Here are the disadvantages CU has in terms of scheduling:
1) Ivy game limit
2) Late start (stop me if you've heard these before)
3) Lacking another "superpower" in the ECAC to push us & go head-to-head
4) playing in a 12-team league.
Expanding on #4, HEA and WCHA are both 8-team leagues. We have to play a larger spread of weaker teams, while the powerhouses in the smaller conferences can hammer away at each other more times. UW and Minny get to play each other 4 times, as well as stronger teams like NoDak, Duluth, & Bemidji.
So we have fewer games, and more teams we have to schedule. The only advantage we have when considering an NCAA spot is no WCHA team will have as much familiarity with Cornell as they do with each other.

This weekend's results would suggest that Wisconsin and BU are not in the same tier. 3-0 and 6-1 to the Badgers.

Though you'd expect that the games would've been closer if Poulin had played for BU. From what I've read, she's not expected to be back until after the BU-Cornell games next month. Which, in some ways, is too bad.
