Last junior with 100 points

With 33 points this year (just over 1 point per game) and two to six games remaining, Matt Moulson is at 91 career points. How long has it been since a junior had 100 points for Cornell?

[edit correction] 37 points this year after the two Clarkson games plus 58 his first two seasons = 95 points

See Vesce, Ryan (who tallied 102 points through his junior year, 128 total).

So to answer your question...not that long ago


Edit: actually, depending on where you look, his numbers for his senior year vary. USCHO has him tallying 10 goals and 16 assists in 03-04, while the elynah database has him at 10 goals and 14 assists. Anyone know which one is accurate?

Right under my nose. Going back before that, I'm trying to recall how many people hit 100 in their first three years in the Schafer era. Stephen Bâby got to about 90 (?) in three years. Am I missing a table in TBRW that lists most points cumulative after two and three years of play? There' just about everything else there.

They are both correct now. 16 assists was the correct number though. Two assists missing from a Harvard game (a primary and secondary) which makes me think it was changed after I'd done it or something. Anyway, they match now. Thanks.

USCHO and collegehockeystats.net have Moulson with 37 points right now (21g, 16a) which would give him 95 career. Thus even closer to 100 by junior year (and in range of a 40 point season).

Before Ryan Vesce did it in 2003, I believe the last Cornell player to reach 100 points during his junior year was Joe Nieuwendyk (who scored his 100th point very early in his junior season. It may have been the first game, although I'm not positive).

This weekend's box scores are in the ELynah DB now and it agrees (52-43-95 carreer).

Lance Nethery had 206 points after his junior year.

Looking at other stats: Moulson is pretty good on power plays (4 + 6 + 11 YTD = 21), but the career record (NCAA) is otherworldly: Tom Ross, Michigan State 72PPG 1972-76. Nobody else is above the low 50s and nobody has scored more than 40 career since 1992-96. Makes you suspect (?) the overall PP average must be down from a generation ago.

Or there were more opportunities. Or the first pp line skated more. Or somebody was padding his stats.

When's the last time we scored 10 goals or more in a game? In Nethery's day it was pretty damn common.

IIRC, it was one of every three games during one of his seasons.

We'll still have to speculate how much the higher scoring games of yore were because the game was more wide-open and how much it was because the bottom half of the league was really bad. Actually some of that could be determined by margin of victory (or percentage MOV since 10-9 is a way different margin than 2-1).

Take the 1978 ECAC final four--a Nethery-era tournament:

Semis:

UNH 10, Cornell 9 (2OT--how did they get through the first OT without a goal?)
BU 7, Clarkson 6

Consolation:

Cornell 5, Clarkson 4

Championship:

BU 8, UNH 6

That's an average of nearly 14 goals per game.

Al,

Wasn't that 1977?

Almost makes you wonder if they had 2 or 3 pucks on the ice instead of our solitary disc.

Yep. Brain fart.

The actual answer is November 20, 1999. Cornell 10 Clarkson 4

Just out of curiosity...did we lose any of those games?

Ryan Hughes had 111 points after his junior season in 1992. Trent Andison was close with 95 through his junior season of 1990 (had a poor junior year after 71 points in his first two years).
