Derraugh finally gets his ECAC title, 19 years later.

For those who don't know much about the program - this is the first ever ECAC title for Cornell women's hockey. It also ensures the first ever NCAA tournament appearance for the program, although the NCAA women's tournament is only about 10 years old so the wait for that one has been a little shorter.

On the other hand, Cornell won something like 3 games 4 years ago. I don't think anybody would've predicted an ECAC title this soon.

Kudos to the Redcast crew for showing all the post-game celebrations.  You just can never count on them getting anything right.

Women play Harvard.

I hope that Johnston is waiting to come in with some beer and cigars to honk the horn on the Zamboni*.

*I know that Cornell doesn't have a Zamboni^TM.

I dont really follow the women's team so maybe you guys can explain this, how does Cornell beat Harvard once here, tie them in OT there, win the regular season, win the conference tournament while Harvard finishes 3rd in the conference and yet Cornell has to go play Harvard @Harvard in the 1st round??
