NCAA Regional: Cornell (3) vs. Northeastern (2) - FINAL

[Al DeFlorio]

[quote Denison 71]To this I concur:  Cornell gets outplayed for a good portion of the game but scores the final three goals, including the game-winner with 17 seconds remaining, to beat Northeastern and move on to play tomorrow night in the Midwest Regional Final. We are fortunate to have beaten this team. Evenly matched on paper, yes, but Thiessen is a tough goalie and this was NU's game to lose with the way they played for most of the game.[/quote]
Not so sure I'd say Cornell was outplayed for "most of the game."  The first 12-13 minutes were ours, as was the entire third period (shots 14-4).  At first it looked to me like deja vu Yale game in Albany, but it turned out to be deja vu Princeton.

1/3 is a "good portion" I'd say . . . the entire second period plus some of the first . . either way it's just semantics.  NU is going home.  LGR!
