This is the third time Cornell has met RPI in a regular QF series (i.e., not the silly first round or quints or whatever), and the first time in 26 years. Both previous times were at Lynah, with Cornell advancing.

Doesn't matter whether it's quintafinals or quarterfinals. We played a 3-game series at Houston in '98, no reason that shouldn't count as a playoff series.
Greg,
I don't know about that. I recall being at RPI not too many years ago (when there was the infamous disputed goal in game 2), where RPI and Cornell played three games with Cornell winning games one and three. That was the season before the league went back to single elimination games. I think Mike Schafer was the Coach too. Maybe someone could check that out. :-)
I also think Elliott was the #1 goalie for Cornell that year.

Oh, O.K.,
That was a PIG year. 5 homes and 5 aways. It sure felt like a QF game! :-D

Yup... this has nothing to do with RPI, but the 1972 ECAC final against BU should be a loss, not a win.

And a bad one at that. Great BU team.
