Angelo doing a great job. I like that he's been given the chance to get battle worn to see if he's up to it. It looks like he's up to the challenge.

What a third period turnaround for Penn State now that it's winning more faceoffs, closes to 13-12. Sheesh. 10 goal Cornell run first half answered by 7 for PSU. 13-12 Cornell going into the fourth.

WHAT A GAME

[billhoward]

Winning goal by our FOGO Angelo Petrakis who failed to get off the field after Teat had tied it at 17 with :18 left & PSU won ensuing faceoff, then turned it over, and Petrakis scores with :08. LGR!

Why Penn State defended Teat with with a shortstick in the last half minute, bad call. Oh well. In the sequence the led to the tying goal, Cornell got a turnover, got the ball to Teat with ~:40 to play and a long pole on him, at :30 SS middie #19 junior Brian Townsend switched onto Teat and was the defender when Teat scored.

You're going to see Petrakis charge in on goal and think, cripe, everybody else on the field is a way better shooter, he's gotta pass and - holy shit, his second goal of the game.

Penn State didn't really slide to him.

I'd have to watch it again, but IIRC either Teat beat the long-stick that was on him, or there was a pick. Either way, there was a switch and Teat had the shorty. And Long was on the other side of the crease, so the long stick on him didn't want to slide off of him, so Teat could make one of his famous passes.

I would be very surprised if this wasn't a play the coaches had drawn up: get the switch on Teat and then make PSU choose its poison. ::banana::

We're in a tough place come Saturday because Yale has TD Ierlan as FOGO for his senior season. Yale beat Penn State 12-10 and was ranked #1 then UMass took them down 13-10. There is hope: Yale won 20 of 26 faceoffs vs. UMass and still managed to lose.
