Women's Team Fall 25

[Weder]

Cornell has absolutely owned Syracuse since losing the first meeting of the all-time series. SU just doesn't seem invested in trying to build up that program, which is too bad.

5-0 victory. We had a 3 on 5 at the end of the game and we killed it, yay! Bergmann shutty, yay! Adam took a bad block and looked hurt... not yay. Hoping she's okay.

Thank you for the reports.

Adam was not with Katie for long

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.

I wonder how much of this is due to tv coverage. Is ESPN encouraging piped-in music to make the general game sound fuller over the broadcast? Or are schools of the opinion that they need to do it because that's what other schools do?

A couple of weeks ago, I was at an Oregon State football game, and they used this to great effect in the postgame concert. The band would play a song, then while they were transitioning to the next piece, piped-in music would play until the band was ready again. It was well choreographed and did a great job of keeping the energy up (which was much needed in the post-game celebration due to how this was their first win of the season).

Oregon State announcers are also awesome at engaging the crowd and working *with* the crowd during a game, especially when energy is starting to ebb when the team is doing poorly. Overall, the school pays attention to the showmanship and creates a great atmosphere. Unlike Cornell, the band has a full-time faculty member directing the program who is excellent, and he's got to be tightly coordinated with every other part of the event.

At UNH hockey games, the faculty director does wear a headset to coordinate with the announcing crew, but they don't do as good a job. Maybe it was the grad student subbing in for the on-sabbatical director when I was there or maybe the university/announcing crew there just doesn't get it, even though it's obvious that the crowd is more engaged when the band plays.

If Cornell wants to keep Lynah full, the band is a big part of the equation.

I'm no expert but I would be surprised if ESPN were making any suggestions at all, and I would be shocked if they were making them about the music.

Adam was not with Katie for long

I didn't see her play a shift after that block, and when she came out at the end to do the salute she still looked unhappy. Hoping they just kept her out preventatively.

Yep - the pep band plays a LOT during the women's games. Partially, I assume, because fewer people are watching, so they can mess around with fewer "repercussions" for getting it wrong. (Also, I think, in part because the chants don't carry well in a mostly-empty rink.)

On the broadcast, Jason mentioned that she took a late shift. But I was scrolling on my phone so did not see if that was accurate.

I didn't see it, but I'm also not the paragon of accuracy. She's taking warmups today though.

Also, players named Weyerhaeuser and Klinkhammer next to each other on the Yale team. Save some letters for the rest of us, girls.

[stereax]

The line of Curtis-McDavid-Perron-Roy already has two goals on the night. It's not even 10 minutes in.

[stereax]

2-0. Being outshot 6-12 though. Not great in that aspect, but scoreboard.

[scoop85]

I tuned in about halfway through the 1st period and Yale carried the play for most of that time. They look speedy and skilled, and we made some poor decisions like dumping in the puck short of the blue line and committing a foolish penalty. Thankfully Bergmann was a rock as usual, but I hope we pick up our pace.
