Women's Team Fall 25

[stereax]

There goes Bergy's shutout streak. Still like... 4+ games without a goal, if you combine the end of the Harvard game with most of this one.

Van Gelder answers to make it 5-1 on the powerplay.

Assists to Grace Dwyer and Schiff.

I like how once the game is too far gone, every single women's team employs the same strategy, and that strategy is Murder Avi Adam.

5-1 end of game. Hell yeah.

[Weder]

I really had no idea what to expect from the offense coming into this season, so it's been great to see how everyone is contributing. Well-deserved week off coming up.

Nationally, the Cornell women are currently #1 in team defense, powerplay and penalty kill.  Not a bad start to the season!  Number 7 in team offense with 4.29 goals per game [#1 Wisconsin is at 5.18].

I guess this thread is as good as any other place? Fall 2026 commit Jillian McLaughlin (F) was just named to the U.S. roster for the U18 worlds in January.

Admittedly I don't really follow the women's team but they have built a hell of a program

No time like the present to start following!

Get on board and bring about 500 townies with you.  We need to fill that barn for them.

The NCAA seems to track only faceoff win leaders (and not faceoff winning percentage), as far as I can tell, but I did the math and Mckenna Van Gelder is winning 70 percent of her faceoffs (104/148). Just by eyeballing, looks like it puts her around the top 5 or so in the country.

Band's here, btw. Nice touch.

From watching on ESPN, it sounds like the pep band gets to play as much as it wants during the women's game. It's too bad they play so much piped-in music during the men's games, cutting in to the amount of pep band time.

My third or fourth hand understanding is that athletics has decided to limit the band more and more at men's games. First killing pregame. Then adding jock jams. Now apparently controlling when they play entirely. Seems gone are the days that the band coordinates announcements with ACM and otherwise uses its own judgment to fill other breaks. A system which... Worked fine?

That's a damn shame and an awful decision. What benefit would that possibly bring?

I would encourage you to simply email the athletic department with your concerns. They're not a huge department and I bet they'd take your (correct) perspective into account.
