Friday night at Boswell Field

Hobart seems to be pulling out all the stops to hype up this game as much as possible.

They are apparently putting in a temporary lighting system, so the game can be played at Boswell Field. It will be the first-ever night game at that venue, their last game in Division I and maybe their last game against us--at least for a while. Add to that our long-running rivalry and the fact that we have beaten them four straight times and eight out of nine...let's just say there's plenty of motivation on their side.

As for us, we need a win to maintain our (what seems to be likely as of today) top-eight seeding. Plus we need to make a statement about the kind of team we are. This promises to be a very challenging and hopefully character-building game for us ahead of the tournament.

Looks like Hobart's emotions may be getting the better of them. Already 8:30 in penalties just 5:00 into the 2nd period. Cornell up 6-1. Hope we maintain focus and intensity...
