Cornell got a recruit who decommitted from Harvard http://www.cyahockey.com/news_article/show/343365?referrer_id=96615.

"Harvard wanted me to PG a year but I'm ready for college right now."

What's up with that?

Their loss is our gain.

What's up with that?

Anticipating a season heavy with senior defensemen and wanting to spread out the talent?

In case anyone hasn't seen this yet...

WIH awareness games

It will feel weird not to wear red on Friday.

Red is a bright color.  You can wear it Saturday.

Cornell escaped a tough game with Yale, scoring three times in the third to win 6-3.  It was our first win in four games, and the first time over that stretch we scored more than 1 goal.

Standings:

1. 27 Hvd (1 extra GP)
2. 24 Clk
3. 23 Cor
4. 20 Qpc
5. 17 SLU

PWR:

1. Minn
2. Wisc
3. Hvd
4. Cor
5. Clk
6. RMU
7. BC
8. NDak
9. Mcy
10. Qpc

Our next five games are against the four bottom teams in the ECAC, so hopefully there is momentum to do some serious damage.

Cornell completed a weekend sweep of Colgate.

.833 Hvd
.806 Cor
.778 Clk

Gagliardi is one of five finalists for Hockey Humanitarian Award.

Cornell back in first with Harvard and Clarkson 1 point back.

[Jim Hyla]

I can't believe Harvard came back to tie Yale, and now be tied with us. They win the tiebreaker, so we drop to third.

I live in boston.

Was at a bar in Harvard square last night with my (Cornellian) wife. I was describing the game because she hadn't gotten to see it.

A lady next to us accosts us and says "devastating, wasn't it?" We get to taking. She says she's an assistant coach at Harvard, her boss is the clash for team USA, and some of her players are on the team.

She asks how we became hockey fans. I say through college. She asks where. We say we met at Cornell.

She gets this look.... And she knew. "You cheered for Canada, didn't you?"

By finishing as they did, the women get to host Princeton next weekend, in best of three. They also fall to 6 in PWR.
