Women 2024-25

[Weder]

Another big rally today, from down 3-0 at Princeton for a 4-3 win. Delaney Fleming seems to commit some penalties at inopportune times, but Cornell got a lucky break from a mistaken whistle when Princeton was pulling their goalie to make it 6 on 4 late in the third and was able to kill the late penalty.

Cornell definitely had more jump in the second half of the game and got all 4 goals in maybe 9 or 10 minutes, I think? No box score online right now.

Cornell beat RIT, 5-2, Tuesday night. Cornell was ahead 3-0 and completely dominating the game until taking some ill-advised penalties in the second period. RIT scored once on a 5-on-3 advantage and then again on the ensuing 5-on-4 advantage, and all of a sudden it was one-goal game. But Cornell added two power play goals in the third period to seal the game.
Cornell outshot RIT 33-12, and after entering the game having scored only four power-play goals all season, scored three last night. Ashley Messier scored her first two goals of the season, her first goals in over a year.
It's not the ideal schedule for Cornell, which now has over a month off before playing RIT again on New Year's Eve in Rochester. That will be Cornell's final non-league game.

A long winter break is standard for the women's teams, though Cornell does often play Thanksgiving weekend. In any event, Bergmann, Guilday and Grace Dwyer will be with Team USA for a good chunk of December so I wonder if there was some strategic scheduling.

Also, Cornell still has a game against Syracuse in January. Grady got that wrong during the broadcast yesterday.

The Big Red resume play by beating RIT, 5-1, in the back half of the home-and-home series and will close out 2024 at 9-3-2, with the last loss on Nov. 1. Five goals from five scorers today.

And now a huge stretch of games coming up -- at Clarkson and SLU this weekend, then the home-and-home against Colgate the following weekend. They and Cornell are the top 4 in the ECAC standings.

Cornell outshot RIT 43-17, and had a 43-14 advantage on faceoffs. Hopefully, this dominating performance against a team with a winning record (9-8) will give Cornell some added confidence heading into the upcoming stretch of crucial games.

Big Red over Clarkson 3-0 and now lead ECAC.

Cornell ties St. Lawrence, 2-2, but wins the shootout to get the extra half point. A good weekend for the team against two Top Ten teams on the road.
Cornell was dominating play until St. Lawrence got a power play midway through the second period. Cornell failed to clear the puck out of the zone despite having control of the puck with three Cornell player skating toward the blue line. Instead, St. Lawrence was able to keep the puck in and scored a few seconds later. That opened the scoring and Cornell trailed 2-1 after two period, but Georgia Schiff had a beautiful shot to tie the game early in the third period.
After a bit of a slow start this season, Cornell is playing really well, even without a standout player like Izzy Daniel.

There are no points gained  for a shootout win for the women. Both teams get 1.5 points for the tie. The shootout win comes into play only for standings tiebreakers.

I propose Calvin Ball for next year's shit shoot outs - men's and women's.

It's good to see stories on women's hockey in the Sun, game report and survey.

Big 2-1 W at #5 Colgate.

[Weder]

Holy  hell, according to the box score, since I didn't feel like paying for FloHockey, Cornell got off 84 shots -- 52 on goal -- against Syracuse in a 6-3 win. Syracuse had gone up 2-0 on a couple PPGs in the first against one of the backup goalies, and then Bergmann came on in the second period and Cornell scored 5 straight across the second and third periods.

[Tom Lento]

Wow, that's wild. Seems like the women are playing extremely well right now.

The women's team is better than the men's. Has been since the start of the year imo. Wish I could make it to the games this weekend

Women blew out Princeton 6-1 with 2 minutes to go.
