Women's Team Fall 25

[ACM]

Bergmann gives up possibly the worst goal of her career, and it's 2-2.

...worse than the one at the very beginning of last year where she let in that floater from the blue line?

I didn't see that one, but it sounds very similar to this one.

Now 3-2 UVM

Pretty sure it was my first women's game at Lynah. Possibly the Union one from last year, the third goal that isn't on the highlights. I remember watching that goal and going "oh, brother..." and bracing for a crappy season.

Very solid response in today's second game at Vermont after yesterday's, in which they found themselves pretty gassed and unable to generate a comeback in the 3rd period. It would seem like they've had trouble this year with games coming off of long bus trips, but show their quality with adequate energy in the tank. 5-1 final score.

As per the stats sites (feeling sick so didn't venture out tonight) we're losing to Quinnipiac 3-zip.

Cornell was up 1-0 against Princeton after one period, but then gives up two quick goals and now trails 2-1 late in the second period.

Didn't get to watch today's game against Princeton. Our poor results against good opposition continues with a 2-3 loss at home to Princeton. However, we had a near 2-1 advantage in shots on goal, which is a sign that things are starting to turn around from a process standpoint. Still a tough way to close out the fall half of the season with these two home losses to Q and P. The break will be helpful to try to regroup and figure out how to put the pieces together to play winning two-way hockey.

Derraugh is still mixing the forward lines, and I did not expect to see Avar, Fleming and McDavid on a line. Thought Cornell played decent for the most part; just unfortunate that a 5-minute lapse in the second period was the difference. Defense needs to do a better job of keeping the front of the net clear.

Didn't see the game last night, but a 1-0 loss at Penn State on a PPG on a major penalty late in the third period. Stats looked pretty even, but no idea how the game went. They'll play Penn State again at Lynah in January. Next games are Jan. 9-10 at Lynah vs. Clarkson and St. Lawrence.

EDIT: Just seeing the Sun's game story now:

It's nice to see the Sun sports staff churning out some stories during the winter break. I can't recall that happening with any frequency in recent years. And this story even has some quotes from the coach.

A tractor bringing the team to its practice at the outdoor rink in Vestal is outstanding.

I've known about The Farm for a while, but I didn't know about the scoreboard. That makes it even more awesome!

Cornellians magazine story on Doug Derraugh: https://alumni.cornell.edu/cornellians/womens-hockey-derraugh/

I didn't know (or forgot about) this tidbit:

He was working as a lab technician in nuclear medicine when the Big Red tapped him as the women's team's interim head coach.
