Women's program has the tallest and shortest goalies between both programs. Just thought that was interesting.

"Athena Song"

"Andong Song is the son of Yu Song and Bei Gao, and he has one brother and one sister."

Hmm.

Edit: prolly not.  She's from St. Louis, a fair distance from Beijing.

Interesting that all this year's freshman class is American. We've been heavily Canadian over Derraugh's tenure, so not sure what this says about talent and recruiting.

How'd Colgate get good?  It's unnerving.

[billhoward]

The Colgate head Greg Fargo was women's D1 coach of the year last year. At Colgate since 2012. Every player who 10 or more points last year is back. New rink. Maybe free pizza at games?

Exhibition game against Toronto Aeros winds up  6-1 for Cornell!!
Shots were 36 - 7  for Cornell!  
Freshman looked GOOD! and team play was excellent for this early in season.

Sunday the 14th,  3 PM exhibition against Buffalo Beauts  admission is FREE -  If you can get there  do so - should be a good game!

[profudge]

The women win in a good game 5-2 and looked really good for a large part of the game against the visiting Buffalo Beauts.  The crowd was small but enthusiastic and the band was loud and fun!

P.S.  The free T-shirts are much appreciated!

P.P.S.  Next Saturday 20th of October is the Red and White scrimmage - -

Big RED Women are at home at 3PM game start both Friday and Saturday:

... it is time for the home opening weekend for Ivy League and ECAC play with traditional rivals Harvard and Dartmouth coming to town. Following the Dartmouth game the Cornell Women's Hockey Association (CWHA) will be hosting their Annual Afterglow honoring our seniors. Note that both the Friday Harvard and Saturday Dartmouth games are at 3:00 pm.
...
CORNELL OPENS LEAGUE PLAY WITH HARVARD ON FRIDAY AT 3:00 PM
The Crimson began their season last weekend at home against travel partner Dartmouth and came away with the 3-1 win. The Big Green lit the lamp first at the mid-point of the first period, but then it was all Harvard. Freshman #12 Dominique Petrie got two of the goals and classmate #29 Lindsay Reed got her first victory in net making 25 saves. Head Coach Katey Stone returns for her 23rd season behind the bench. Many fans will recall that she took the 2013-2014 season off to coach the USA Olympic team to a silver medal in Sochi. Last season the Crimson went 13-16-2 overall and 10-10-2 in the ECAC. They fell to Colgate in the quarterfinals of the ECAC Tournament. Against The Big Red last season Harvard did surprisingly well - losing a 4-3 at Lynah in January, but coming back for a 2-2 OT tie at Cambridge in February. Coach Stone and Harvard are always a threat in any rink so this one should keep the Cornell-Harvard rivalry going. The 3:00 pm face-off is a problem for some fans, but get to Lynah if you possibly can. The players love your loud support.

I just realized that no one posted the women's Harvard/Dartmouth results.  They won fairly handily against each opponent.  Last night they came from behind to beat Yale 4-3.  I am not sure if we were sloppy around our own net or the Yale goals were the result of deflections that we were powerless to control.  Hard to tell when watching on a screen.  In any event, we looked better at home last week than we did in New Haven last night [against a winless Yale team].

Brown at 3 this afternoon.

[Al DeFlorio]

Need another comeback today.  Brown 4-2 late second period.
