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.
PUCK CROSSED THE LINE OFFICIAL REVIEW AND IT'S 3-0 CORNELL!

Prefontaine's goal!
SLU responds with a shorty. 3-1.
3-2.
I'm not emotionally ready for a 3 goal lead blown.

AND I DON'T HAVE TO BE BECAUSE PREFONTAINE RESPONDS IMMEDIATELY!
Kid in front of me, with a mostly-empty cup of hot chocolate, stumbles and falls back on the seat under her.
Did not know hot cocoa could splash up like 3 rows from a sealed container.

Snickers and popcorn last night, hot chocolate today. Sounds like you're doing OK!

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.

I know. That was my attempt at humor.
PK with 1.15 left. Shorty on the ENG by Grober! 5-2.

Sorry haha. Got lost in translation.
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!
