Title: Women's Team Spring 26
Post by: stereax on January 09, 2026, 02:27:32 PM
Back at it versus Clarkson.

They still have no idea what a proper volume for warmup music is.

The in-rink board was showing the ESPN feed and scoreboard for a hot half-minute there. There we go.

Lucky for us, penalty behind the play and we're on the PP. They almost had a clear breakaway.

Yeah. 1-0 them. Good situation for Clarkson.

AVI ADAM.

And a skeleton band of one drummer, one tuba, and two very, very off-key trombones.

Still better than the pumped-in music.

2-1 them. Annoying. Game's been fast on both sides.

Avar on the powerplay makes it 4-3, then Adam a few minutes later, 5-3!!!

Also, Wegmans is donating to some sorta charity because we scored on the PP!

Skeleton band is up to two drummers, the tuba, and what I think are one trombone and two trumpets.

Terrible defense on the PK for too many (wo)men, top right corner. 5-4.

Long discussion between the refs and our bench. And theirs too now. No idea what for.

Post by: imafrshmn on January 09, 2026, 04:49:49 PM
One thing that's apparent with this team, despite the small roster, is that the third forward line is not seeing much ice time compared with the top two. Probably a matter of defensive responsibility discipline. Not great to see this deep jnto the season.

Just cuz the broadcast had it wrong: There is no extra point for Cornell for the win. Women's ECAC gives 1.5 points to both teams for a tie after OT, and the shootout win comes into play for standings tiebreakers at the end of the regular season.
Title: Re: Women's Team Spring 25
Post by: imafrshmn on January 09, 2026, 05:34:49 PM
Scrappy. Messy. That's the theme of the season here just past the midway point. I get the sense that the ceiling of the team's potential this year depends on finding ice time and supporting roles for the whole squad, and bringing some of these freshmen into the fold.

I will say that Derraugh has leaned heavily on two forward lines in the past, and this is more common in women's college hockey in general.

2 lines is no longer enough to beat good teams, whereas it was viable 10+ years ago.

The hot chocolate was not mine. And luckily it did not get on my jersey, either. The front of B/C is a jungle gym of youths clambering on the rails and pews.

This reminds me I must engage in Lynah Dinner tonight, as I barely remembered to take my meds with a splash of water this morning, much less eat anything. Bleh.

Good win all around. Finding form this weekend was pretty crucial to regaining some confidence. Great to see the freshman Pearson score early, and more icetime for the third liners. Next weekend is away at Brown and Yale. Go Big Red!

Fall '27 commit Tereza Gildainova (F) has 2G, 1A in 2 games for the Czechs
Fall '27 commit Aurora Matt (D) was +3 in Canada's first game

The men's lacrosse team does not have the Ivy Tournament on its schedule but the women's team does.  Neither baseball nor softball include the Ivy Tournament.  I suspect that Coach Derraugh and/or the team may prefer not to have a post-season series listed on their schedule until they actually qualify to play in that series.

Beginning this year, championship weekend will take place in Lake Placid, N.Y., with the semifinals on March 6 and the title game on March 7."

Aye, I believe I found the same. But it's annoying that it's not on the schedule already... like, I'd get it if neither team had it, but one and not the other is weird.

Not sure what the problem is with the women's team this year, but it feels like after their hot start they've just been struggling to string together more than one win in a row.

Derraugh's "system" has always been based on defensive responsibility as the first priority. So they don't take risks unless they have to. But then if they are behind, they often don't have the juice to come back. Which is partly about roster size/depth. So it feels like they don't have much margin for error. It's frustrating. They lost 11 seniors to graduation last year and one junior. The freshman class are 4 forwards, 1 D and 1 goalie. Anyway, I hope they are still having fun and making great friendships.

Yeah - I think a good amount of this does boil down to simply just not having enough people around. You can't really scratch players or rotate them when you're already at skeleton crew levels. Hopefully the recruiting brings in a bigger class next year.

And that definitely makes sense about Derraugh's system as well. It feels like we struggle super hard if the other team scores first...

It seems like the team is super close and enjoying the games this year (see: the ODR trip). Unfortunately, friendships don't get reflected on the scoreboard :( Especially with the large graduating class last year as well as Patty Kaz winner Daniel the year before, seems like it's going to be a rebuild kinda year for the Red. Good that they stacked up those early wins though, so this slide isn't as painful.

It's tough because a lot of these girls are very competitive and serious about playing at the next level. Having a lot
of expectations around winning trophies can also be a burden. College sports in general can be a drag if hard work isn't rewarded. Not to mention academics. Anyway, just hoping everyone appreciates what a blessing it is to be at Cornell, and to spend time well.

I was close friends with a member of the 1982 team and the evolution of the sport and the players is remarkable.  The difference between a 2026 Cornell womens hockey player and a 1980s is virtually at the species level.  Normal humans played 40 years ago.  Now they are as super athletic as any other sport.

I have thought the same.  When I watched back then it was "Why am I wasting time like this.  I can play this well."

Cornell ends Princeton's 13-game win streak with a convincing 6-1 victory after falling behind 1-0. It would be nice if this game gets the team back on track. Cornell hasn't lost a game at Princeton since 2018.
Princeton was the third best defensive team in the nation entering the game.
Bergmann not only stopped 19 of 20 shots, but got an assist on an empty-net goal.

HAH. No, people are cycling in and out. But my stall is nice and comfortable.

You have to understand, for a Cornellian and a law student, I can be INCREDIBLY stupid at times. My usual rn is either a prepackaged sandwich (ham and apple or the rosemary chicken with apple butter) or, on occasion, the Buffalo Street. I'd probably be really happy with the Patrick Ewing (and the Sweet Rachel sounds pretty good too) but, critically, I don't think very often!

A Union player flipped Curtis to the ground in some sorta MMA takedown. She's hurting. (No penalty on the play.)

I feel like it's been a while since so much was up in the air going into the last weekend of the regular season. I think Cornell can finish anywhere from 2nd to 7th, Cornell still has a shot at the Ivy title, too, but needs either Yale or Brown to take points from Princeton.

How did the M and W seasons get so far displaced?  IIRC they used to be just 1 week askew.

The gap got bigger when they expanded the NCAA tournament; I think they moved the start date of the season earlier at the same time. Non-Ivies play regular season games starting in late September now.

Cornell gave up two EAG to blow a big lead in the final minutes. Been a rough season. Hoping for a big recruiting class next year. I know this has been beaten to death, but...if we're allowed the roster spots, why not use them and field a full lineup?

No shit. This year, can't add players. But I agree with BL's point that next year, having a big recruiting class would be good, even if only to Have People On The Bench. Beating the dead horse again, but we literally only have 11 forwards rostered rn.

i get it but my larger point is "do we think that the women's hockey team intentionally left a roster spot unfilled" for budgetary or other reasons? asking the question (repeatedly) assumes a foolishness on Derraugh and his staff that i don't think they've earned.

That's definitely fair. I think they know what they're doing, just curious about it all. Women's hockey commits aren't as "talked about" on here - like, I have zero idea who's coming in next year. I don't think we "lost" any commits this year, but 🤷

From what's out there, it appears there are 6 F and 3 D coming in next season, with 3 F and 3 D graduating. If everyone returns, I think that would put next season's roster closer to what it was before this year.

Well any time someone on an Internet forum questions the coaching, it's probably the rando on the Internet forum who's wrong. In this case though, it defies logic why you'd bring in so few players that you can't even roll four lines with a healthy team. And now we have enough injuries that we can't roll even *three* lines. And no, highly doubt it's budgetary, but maybe we just couldn't get a kid to fill the spot.

At the end, only 3 losses in league play to teams that finished outside the top 4. I haven't seen any updates on Avar, but hopefully the week off is enough time to get her back for the quarterfinals.

Always a good excuse to post the GWG (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUc8zlf07ro) from the 3OT NCAA win over BU in 2012 (though that game apparently was a 2 p.m. start) that pushed back that start of a men's ECAC playoff game.

I wish there was still a fuller highlights video out there -- just a ridiculous game (https://cornellbigred.com/documents/2012/3/10/buu_box.pdf) and amount of talent on the ice.

These are before the SLU and CLK men's games, so better pray neither of the first two go to OT.

Excellent.  I'll be up in Ithaca for that weekend.

I wish there was still a fuller highlights video out there -- just a ridiculous game (https://cornellbigred.com/documents/2012/3/10/buu_box.pdf) and amount of talent on the ice.
Agreed!  I'd love to be able to relive that one.  We were in town for my father's birthday celebration and took the opportunity to attend the afternoon game. When the third period ended with the score tied 7-7 after several lead changes I texted the family saying that it should be over fairly quickly and we wouldn't be late for the dinner.  I said the same thing after the first overtime and the second.  We did make it to dinner on time, but just barely.  I'm standing in my red jacket in the front row behind the celebration in the CornellBigRed photo.  https://cornellbigred.com/news/2012/3/10/WICE_0310121319.aspx

Quote from: Weder on January 12, 2026, 02:07:28 PMScanning through the first few games of the Women's U18 Worlds:
Fall '26 commit Jillian McLaughlin (F) has a goal and an assist for the U.S. through 2 games
Fall '27 commit Tereza Gildainova (F) has 2G, 1A in 2 games for the Czechs
Fall '27 commit Aurora Matt (D) was +3 in Canada's first game

Catching up on this post-tournament (The U.S. beat Canada for the gold)
McLaughlin finished with 3G, 1A
Gildainova had 4G, 2A and the Czechs won bronze
Matt had 5A and was +14



I don't know anything about girls junior/prep hockey or the quality of the HS league that Gildainova plays in, but apparently she has 53 goals (!) and 61 assists (!!) through 62 games (!!!) for Lovell Academy. There are several other D1 commits on the roster, so must be at least a decent team/league?

Cornell currently 11th in NPI but will need to be at least 10th for an at-large NCAA bid. I haven't looked at it too closely, but if the conference tournaments are pretty chalky, not sure if Cornell can get in without an autobid.

i assume you mean "to guarantee" an at-large bid, right? there will not be six conference champions who will be outside of the top 16.

It's an 11-team field for the women. (Also, I guess if there's a big upset champion in any of the non-NEWHA leagues that doesn't bode well for Cornell either.)

Just me, or is listening to Jason say "Rose Dwyer" and "Grace Dwyer," when everyone else is just a surname, kind of like listening to an early-season "West Wing" list of elected officials? Tripplehorn, Stackhouse, Marienhoff, Tillinghouse, Buckland, Rosedwyer, Katzenmoyer, Lillienfield, Gracedwyer, Hootstein...

Energy levels look pretty depleted towards the end of the 3rd. I'm not a huge fan of all the hitting either. Not sure what it's going to take to get Cornell a game winning goal here. Hopefully we can end it early because I don't necessarily like our chances if it goes deep or, heaven forbid, takes multiple OTs.

I'm happy Cornell won but jeeze how are our ESPN+ streams so bad. They're somehow worse than all the other ECAC teams'. We couldn't even get a replay of the Colgate turnover that led to the goal. The stream lagged in real time and then we got a replay that lasted about half a second of just Adams' shot on goal.
