Back at it versus Colgate.
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.
Regalado evened it up. We're playing better this period, I think.
PERRON-ROY PUTS US AHEAD, 3-2!!!
Tied again. Bergmann had no chance.
Curtis takes a heavy hit as time expires... penalty assessed to Clarkson.
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.
Missed game stoppage challenge? What...
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.
Looks like Clarkson won the challenge.
Adam to the box for tripping. They score. 5-5. Of course. Of course!
52 seconds left in regulation. Still tied. Clarkson timeout.
One point secured. PP in OT to start.
42 secs left in OT and on the PK. Perron-Roy. Pray.
Shootout time.
Grober scores!
Clarkson is stopped!
Prefontaine hits the post.
Clarkson is stopped!
Adam scores!!!
Clarkson loses!!!
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.
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.
Alexa Davis homecoming game. Got a nice ovation from the crowd.
MacEachran gets us on the board!
PEARSON. 2-0.
Puck went into the bench and it looks like it got MacEachern in the gut. She seems to be okay though.
Schiff and a SLU player collide heavily. Schiff gets 2, we're challenging for a hit to the head.
Challenge successful. 5 minute major against SLU #7 and a game misconduct.

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.

Davis almost got abducted into the stick tap line... and now getting a group pic with a few of the Cornell players. :')
More children should be put on backpack leashes.
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!
Scanning 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
Turned on the game and we're up 1-0 on Brown halfway through the first.

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 hear you. But putting faith in the Cornell Athletics website to be a stellar and hell ... dare we say consistent resource is a bit of a leap.

Oh, they're fixing the ice during intermission again. Sweet.
And make it 1-3. Man.
Team came out flatter than a naan bread to start the third, shots are now 20 to 19. But we have a powerplay!
On the bright side, caught my first wild puck!
I am however sitting in the kids' section, so... gave it away to the gaggle of children, haha.

That was a bummer. I feel for this team. They're losing stamina in the third periods.

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."
Now it's more like "If I could just once in my life do that ...."
Women up 3-1 in 3rd over Princeton.
And 4-1 on a PPG!
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.

No, my usual Brooklyn (bacon and egg) on garlic with brie from CTB 😔 I miss eggs but they are, quite literally, my number one trigger food and I seem to be incapable of learning that.
Man.
The nice thing about this happening at a women's game is you probably had the whole bathroom to your queasy self. CTB has many amazing alternatives! Try the Sweet Rachel!

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! And I just wanted a bagel with melty Brie and bacon on it :(
LOUD SCREAMING ALERT. WE SCORED I THINK! I HEAR DAVY!
AND WE ARE UP BY TWO!
Who does Number Two work for!?!
Yeah if anyone is here today I might genuinely beg for a ride home tonight. Still in the bathroom. No idea how I'll make it home on the bus. Fuck. Might have to skip the game tomorrow too if this continues. I feel awful not being there in the stands :(

I would genuinely rather let Luke Ashton take a slapshot directly to my ribs.
I haven't heard music in a bit so I'm gonna assume the game is over or nearly so.
On the bus home, sitting across from two people who I am 90% sure are law school people, coming home after a long study day, chatting about law review and briefs and moot court.
Meanwhile, me, in my hockey jersey, with my clear bag of tchotchkes on my lap, headphones on, having staggered out of Lynah after a four-hour bathroom residency...
I hope they didn't notice me. God damn I hope that.

In my seat. On time! And not sick!!!
Went down one, but Prefontaine tied it up for us!
Pretty decent first period. Thought we had the better of the play. Harvard are entering this weekend feeling confident after finding a way to win the Beanpot as a significant underdog, riding some stellar goaltending.
Down one again :/
1-3, but we're challenging. That was a messy play.
CALLED OFF. CALL REVERSED, HIGH STICK!
Gotta take advantage of that reversal and get the next goal. Harvy is making it tough on us today.
2nd intermission--massive snack and bathroom opportunity
Is Avar injured? It seems like she is not playing tonight.

They said she's day-to-day at the start of the broadcast.
Yeah we have 45 SOGs and one goal. Yeahhh. One of those.
Brown scores. Stay focused, Red!
ENG. 1-3. AUGH.
Super duper annoying to really close the latter half of the game strong with lots of chances to even up the score and be denied time after time by a goalie playing at an elite level. The announcers kept saying that Ainsley Tuffy was a "hot goalie," but i prefer to keep my comments about the hockey.

Their whole team looked hotter than expected. Jason and the color guy (name?) both thought they got robbed when Harvard's in and out goal was disallowed. Looked that was on my TV too.
I was surprised with Harvard's play.

As per Eli (one of the Sun's reporters, who I stumbled by after the game), 9 of our last 10 losses we've outshot the other team.
If that helps.
The women are doing their senior night tonight. Tomorrow would be a pain in the neck given the men's game shortly after.
Pro tip: pull your VPN back off Italy before going to the game. ESPN+ does... interesting... things with i18n servers. That was surreal and AdBlock never barked so hard.

"Safety sieve" in for Union with four minutes left.
A Union player flipped Curtis to the ground in some sorta MMA takedown. She's hurting. (No penalty on the play.)
Bergy gets the shutout!
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.

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 some point, I'll see if I can figure out who has actually publicly announced their commitments and post a list.
Here is a list from Sydney Wolf's site:

Click on the ECAC section and it should launch a spreadsheet with tabs for each team.
I exported this file to Excel and added heights. I'll see if I can dig that up.

This is one of the sites I check as well. Also has a pretty good tracker once the transfer portal opens.
Hard fought 2-1 win against Clarkson today clinches the 4 seed and home playoff series for Cornell, along with the first round bye. All under the incessant bell ringing and unfriendly confines of Cheel Arena. Really good 60 minute effort today to close the regular season.

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.

Women's QF games are going to be the 27th, 28th, 29th if needed, at 3 PM. (https://x.com/i/status/2023086868980502796)
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.

If you need the accompaniment of a twenty-something law student at at least the women's games, shoot me a DM, will be glad for the company!

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

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?
With 5-seed Clarkson being shockingly upset by 12-Union today, 2-1, it looks like it will be Colgate coming into town for the best of three quarters next weekend.

Why do certain opponents (M & W) keep popping up in the playoffs?

All else equal, the most interesting things tend to happen. I don't make the rules
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.)
