Re: 2024-25 MEN'S SCHEDULE - 14 days ago
Always appreciated, Jim. Do you know if they are going to continue to largely keep the men and women from playing at home the same weekend? I always like when I can get up to Ithaca and see both teams play.by Weder - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 15 days ago
A little sloppy in the first, but hopefully that late goal will help get them playing better the rest of the game. Stonehill's early chances came mostly off bad Cornell play in their own zone.by Weder - Hockey

Full bracket: Conference breakdown: ECAC: 4 teams (Cornell, Colgate, Clarkson, St. Lawrence) WCHA: 4 teams (Ohio State, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Minnesota-Duluth) Hockey East, CHA and NEWHA: 1 team each (UConn, Penn State, Stonehill)by Weder - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 19 days ago
Cornell does indeed get Stonehill in the first round in Hamilton and would play Colgate if they win. Edit: Looks like the first-round game is Thursday and the second-round game would be Saturday.by Weder - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 21 days ago
Colgate wins 5-1. Cornell was pretty much locked into the No. 6 spot in the Pairwise, so there is a pretty good chance they’re going to be back in Hamilton next week for a first-round NCAA game, with the winner playing Colgate.by Weder - Hockey

jtwcornell91 Brianne Jenner '15 is on the roster for Canada in the upcoming IIHF Women's World Championship in Utica (only a 2 hour drive from Ithaca): Apparently, she also plays for Ottawa in the new Professional Women's Hockey League, which I just learned did not bother to choose nicknames or logos for its teams before starting play this season.

ugarte Weder Cornell gets Colgate in the semis next weekend in Hamilton.hope our squad learned something exploitable from the tape of the first two games Would be a great time for the first win over Colgate this season. At this point, Cornell is most likely no worse than the No. 6 team in the Pairwise but might be able to sneak up into the top 5 (and a likely first-round bye in the NCAA tournamby Weder - Hockey

All the higher seeds swept, so Cornell gets Colgate in the semis next weekend in Hamilton. Sf. Lawrence and Clarkson in the other semi.by Weder - Hockey

Re: Women 2023-24 - 30 days ago
dbilmes Cornell captures all the major awards for All-Ivy honors. Derraugh is Coach of the Year for the 5th time. Daniels is Player of the Year. Bergmann is Rookie of the Year. And more! Considering that Cornell was 9-1 in Ivy play, outscoring its opponents 53-16, the honors weren't a surprise. But even so, it's nice to see the program get the well-deserved recognition. It’s Daniel. We should gby Weder - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 30 days ago
Earlier in the week Bergmann and Prefontaine made the ECAC all-rookie team. I think the first team and other major awards come later this week.by Weder - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 4 weeks ago
There are scenarios in which Cornell doesn't make the NCAA tournament, but if the conference tournaments are relatively chalk-y, it's hard to move the Red out of the No. 6 or No. 7 spot in the Pairwise (which means they'd host a first-round NCAA tournament game) even if they lose to Quinnipiac this weekend.by Weder - Hockey

Re: Women 2023-24 - 6 weeks ago
dbilmes ACM dbilmes After scoring 21 goals two weeks ago against Dartmouth and Yale, Cornell has had a tough time scoring goals, scoring just four each of the past two weekends. The caliber of the opponents has been better, but both teams Cornell played this weekend are in the lower half of the ECAC standings. By "Yale", you mean "Harvard", right?

Re: Women 2023-24 - 6 weeks ago
3-1 win over Union today clinched a first-round bye in the playoffs. Cornell will need a couple of wins next weekend and some help to move up from fourth, though.by Weder - Hockey

Re: Odds of winning 2024 NCAAs - 6 weeks ago
I just noticed that the baseball team's schedule is bumping up to 53 games this season (they played 35 last year). The NCAA limit is 56. Ivy basketball plays up to the NCAA limit too. Is there any logic to which sports are allowed to essentially play the max and which ones aren't?by Weder - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 7 weeks ago
Izzy Daniel's goal gave her 50 points this season, which is tied for the first in the nation, as far as I can tell. (The NCAA site isn't updated with this weekend's games yet, so I just took a quick glance at what the other scoring leaders did.) She's also right at the top in points per game at 2.0.by Weder - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 7 weeks ago
dbilmes Cornell has seven shorthanded goals this season. If that's not a team record, it's got be close. The record in the NCAA era (since 2000) is 8 in a season, in 2017-18.by Weder - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 2 months ago
After Saturday's 7-2 win over Harvard, the Red are in fourth place in the ECAC, five points ahead of Quinnipiac with a game in hand. The women now let all 12 teams into the playoffs, so top 4 teams get the first-round bye. Huge weekend coming up, as Cornell plays at St. Lawrence and Clarkson, the third- and second-place teams right now.by Weder - Hockey
