Sounds like Princeton's having trouble on the clear. Is Cornell playing a hard ride, or is Princeton just sloppy?

Tim's watching. I'm not. What say ye, Tim?

Cornell broke up at least 2 clears. They're doing a great job of checking Princeton's hanging/trailing sticks. They have caused several drops that Princeton managed to recover, too, but these induce a certain amount of caution in the ball carriers, so those are still good.

Glynn's goal- bulling through 2-3 defenders and cranking one from 10 yards out was fabulous.

Who's marking Kovler?

Al DeFlorio · May 16, 2009, 04:16:14 PM

What is with all these penaltie? Is this the Tierney effect, or are we really deserving all these?

Scoreless second half for Cornell so far.

Dodged a bullet at the end of the third, but Princeton's got all the momentum and Cornell can't score. 5-3 Big Red.

Shots 9-3 Princeton in the 3rd. Gotta start taking it to the goal.

Princeton with the ball with two minutes left, empty Princeton net. Cornell with the 6-3 lead.

Make that Cornell with the 6-4 lead; Kovler scores for Princeton with 1:32 left. We need this next face-off.

Tom Lento · May 16, 2009, 04:49:24 PM

6-4, Cornell needs a faceoff win.

Edit: Cornell EMO!

Cornell with the ball and an empty net, and flags flying everywhere - Princeton committing penalties by the dozen. 40 seconds left.

Beeeej · May 16, 2009, 04:51:13 PM

Cornell wins! Going to Foxboro!

Well... the officials had to get in some make-up calls.

A great defensive effort for the Big Red. We also had two key plays go our way. The first was when Princeton shot a split second too late at the end of the third quarter. If that goal had counted, our lead would have been down to 5-4 going into the final period and the momentum would have been even more on Princeton's side than it was. The other key play, when it was still a 5-3 game, came on a point-blank save by Meyer after Princeton won a faceoff and found a player all alone in front.
We also did a great job of killing off a myriad of Princeton man-ups. I believe they were only 1-for-7 on them.
We'll need to score more than 6 goals to make it past the next round, but it's great to have us back in the Final Four for the second time in three years!
