Cornell Women's Hockey

Trotsky · February 07, 2009, 06:13:06 PM

According to the ECAC site, Cornell and Princeton have entered overtime tied 2-2. The audio link on the Cornell site isn't working and neither is live stats, so it's a matter of trust.

Edit: now a final. According to the box, Cornell withstood a 12-2 shot differential in a scoreless third, and killed off an unfortunately named "hooking" call on Cathy White in the final 2 mins of regulation, to hold on for the tie.

Mixed weekend -- get tied by a weak team, tie a a strong team, all on their ice. The Red solidify their hold on a top 8 slot (7th place) and come home to face 2nd place Harvard and 3rd place Dartmouth in a huge weekend.

A much much better performance for Cornell today against Princeton (though I missed the third period and based on the box score it was our weakest). I didn't see Karpenko's goal, but our second goal (White from Johnston) was absolutely beautiful. Defensively, we did a much better job of clearing rebounds and moving the puck out of our zone. I thought we had the edge in play over princeton the first two periods. And as you said, Princeton is a much strong team the Quinnipiac.

4 pm start against Dartmouth, and Cornell withstands an early 5x3.

Game ends in 3-3 tie. Overall, very good effort by Cornell this weekend. Although the final score doesn't show it, Cornell out played Harvard for a good portion of yesterday's game and the same goes for Dartmouth today.

Impressive. Harvard and Dartmouth are usually two of the top 3 in the league. Hopefully Cornell can keep building on good showings and start racking up some wins.

Absolutely not...

Rougeau and Poulin are teammates at Dawson; Jenner and Poulin were teammates on the U18 squad...hmm.

That would be an incredible class.[/quote]

Matt, what do you think about Laura Fortino's decision to wear Red?

That is VERY good news. Cornell should take another HUGE step forward with the commitments they're receiving.

USAHockey.com's article on Rebecca Johnston

The article reports that Rebecca Johnston may potentially miss next season in order to train for the Canadian Olympic team. She is quite the athlete.

Congrats to Rebecca Johnston, Catherine White and Amanda Young for their All-Ivy recognition.

Johnston was a unanimous selection to the All Ivy First Team. Catherine White was selected for the second team and was the unanimous selection for the rookie of their year. Amanda Young was also named to the second team.

Gotta stop playing these jock schools.

The games were much closer than the final scores indicate. Cornell looked very solid defensively and offensively most of the time. Harvard's goalie stood on her head, and Cornell had a couple of defensive break downs which Harvard capitalized on. I'm already looking forward to next season. Their are some very good players on the way!
