Box score says Melkonnian is 6 for 7 on face offs and Cascadden is 1 for 1. Great job by Melkonnian and good news for Cornell if Cascadden is back.

5-5 end of Q1

Yes Cascadden took one face off. I assume he's not 100%, but great to see him on the field

Shay is somehow shutting down Goldstein...or he's hurt.

Down 2, got one with 20s left. Then Jack won the faceoff and Goldstein had a good look to tie with 5 seconds, but it didn't go. Yale goalie came up big, 19 saves.

Was at the game in person and boy was it cold! I thought Cornell's defense starting out flat and especially in the first quarter hung Tully out to dry on a couple of those first 4 goals for Yale. It was good to see Cascadden out there taking a few faceoffs and hoping starting down the stretch run he will back up to snuff. Take nothing a way from the Yale Goalie as he was excellent in the cage but also credit Yale's defense in the second which limited the quality of shots available. Also Goldstein's defender did a number on him. And like any game-a game of inches-Firth got a great shot off in the middle of the 2nd half but it bounced off the crossbar-like hockey did not get any puck luck on that one. I thought after Princeton the Red were in good shape but the Ivy League looking like a true gauntlet.

One edit to my comments-did not realize Goldstein was playing hurt. Hoping to some of the guys in street clothes back for next weekend. Am afraid Nurry is out long term being on the leg scooter.

Not to look too far ahead, which means look ahead to the other key games. As of the last weekend in March Harvard is 2-0 Ivy (NC game Sunday vs. North Carolina in Maryland), Princeton (lost to Cornell), Cornell (lost to Yale) and Penn (lost to Harvard 12-9) are 2-1.

The loss to Yale was one I was not expecting but then Princeton only got by Yale 11-10 in New Haven.

The Ivy League tournament has been at site of the top seed in 2024 and 2025 and it was easy to determine when Cornell was Ivy-unbeaten last year or one loss in 2024 and Princeton-Yale-Penn were 4-2. In 2023 it was neutral site, Columbia.

Tully looks a better goalie eight games in (with five to go).

Apropos of little: Game 9 is our first game to be played in April. The 1971 national championship team played its first game of the year April 1 (only loss, 10-9 at Virginia). 1971 was also the first year for artificial turf on Schoellkopf Field, donated not so much by an alum trying to help lacrosse but to give then-junior Ed Marinaro a surface with more grip.
