Women's Team 2017-18

[Jim Hyla]

Veerman was suspended for 1 game for the charging foul in the game against Quinny but it didn't matter as Cornell beat Syracuse 6-3.

Also of note: O'Neill already has the CU career record for short-handed goals (7) after her ENG.

And she assisted on their other SH goal. 2 SH in 1 game.

Both into an empty net, I believe.

True, but still impressive.

USCHO has a very nice article about the Women's team.

I started reading it and didn't realize it's about the women's team, although I thought the writer was making some factual errors early on. Only in the third paragraph did I realize it is about the women's team and not that either the writer had some facts about the men's team wrong or that I didn't correctly remember these facts.

But the latest entry in the men's ECAC blog has a somewhat similar story.

True, the one about the women's team talks about the big role freshmen are playing on the team, while the one about the men's team talks about balance, quotes Schafer speaking about how players being seniors is important, and that only 2 of the 6 leading forwards are underclassmen.

Nonetheless, both talk about how well the two teams are doing and how young they are.

This year and in coming years, it appears that good times are in store for Big Red fans.

The players over the past several years have all talked about how close the team is, and I figured it was just athlete-speak, but this sounds like there is something different going on here. That's great to see.

well here's some puck luck https://twitter.com/CornellWHockey/status/954474357992116226

RPI missed a penalty shot too.

RPI missed a penalty shot too.

Either bad luck, or the RPI goalie was exactly 4' x 6'.  How do you score 1 goal when you outshot the other team 37-8!

The RPI goalie was pretty good.  She had a couple of great saves -- it easily could have been a 3-1 final.  Cornell did not have a lot of high quality shots given the high total of shots taken.

I watched the last half of the game. Remember when we bemoaned the men for their inability to finish? Well, the CU women today proudly assumed that mantle.

Outshooting Union like 1,000,000 - 2 and losing 2-1 at the second intermission. Frustrating.

Don't hold me to this, but I think that would likely be a record of some kind.

well the scorekeeper is being stingy so the boxscore may not reflect my personal count.

Buncha homers.

shots about 50-10 now.. i think Union has about 1 min of offensive zone possession in the 3rd

[upprdeck]

that late intentional offsides call was a bit strange to see.

[dag14]

I wasn't even sure it was actually offsides....

Whoever is keeping the stats does not know what they are doing.  A "shot" is a shot on goal, not every launching of the puck in the direction of the net.  Cornell has dominated possession the entire game but there has not been a lot of accuracy in the shots taken.  And the juicy rebounds have gone toward the defenders rather than the attacking players.
