Izzy Daniel wins ECAC player of the year.

WOW!!!

Izzy Daniel also made the Patty Kazmaier Top Ten!

Down 0-1 after one period. Colgate got a PPG late in the period. Colgate has more depth than we do but the women are playing hard and keeping up. Unlike the Denver lacrosse game, these officials have no problem with body contact, especially tripping and holding. I guess the rules in playoff hockey are different....

I'd trust Bergman to back up Shane. She and Izzy are the only thing between us and about a 5-goal deficit so far today.

1-0 after 2, that period felt like about 25 shots to 5.

I just checked the stats. We are winning 60% of the faceoffs but that is the only stat we are winning. They are outshooting us more than 2 to 1, including the shots on goal.

Thank god we tied it, just a minute after Izzy had 80% of a wide open net after a Gate screwup... and hits the post.

1-1, 13:50 in reg.

And they score on our goalie miscue.

Now 3-1 on a ppg.

Colgate wins 5-1. Cornell was pretty much locked into the No. 6 spot in the Pairwise, so there is a pretty good chance they’re going to be back in Hamilton next week for a first-round NCAA game, with the winner playing Colgate.

If that's the case, and we get by our first-round game, no one beats Cornell four times in a season!

Cornell does indeed get Stonehill in the first round in Hamilton and would play Colgate if they win.

Edit: Looks like the first-round game is Thursday and the second-round game would be Saturday.

Full bracket: [www.ncaa.com]

Conference breakdown:
ECAC: 4 teams (Cornell, Colgate, Clarkson, St. Lawrence)
WCHA: 4 teams (Ohio State, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Minnesota-Duluth)
Hockey East, CHA and NEWHA: 1 team each (UConn, Penn State, Stonehill)

Matchup vs stonehill will be a snoozer but colgate has had our number this year, hard to be confident for that game.

NCAA bracket has Cornell in the Colgate-hosted regional Thursday 3/14 7pm EDT against Stonehill. Colgate as the 3-seed gets a first-round bye (as do #1 Ohio State and #2 Wisconsin, but not #4 Clarkson or #5 Minnesota). If Cornell advances, Colgate is a tough opponent Saturday, March 16, 3 pm. But the bottom bracket does not have #1 seed Ohio State. That is the tournament's toughest opponent.

4 and 5 get byes, there just isn't anyone who has to play to get to them. Just like seeds 1-3, they start in the QF.

The way it works out better to play and get going than sit and play a team you struggle with.

Stonehill is only in its second year as a DI program. At one point this season, both of their goalies were injured and a defenseman had to play goal.

I like our chances.

On one hand, they did win 21 games this season, finishing 1 point out of 2nd in their league. (LIU was the runaway #1 seed but was upset in the semi).

On another hand, Stonehill went 3-6 in OOC play and didn’t score until their 5th game, while giving up 7 in four of those.

I hope they do split the vote. Izzy Daniel is the only one of the "Top Three" who had to withdraw from school during the 2020-2021 season and continue her development at home (thanks Ivy League).

I can't resist...we don't need no stinkin' badgers.

Women up 1-0 after 1.

A little sloppy in the first, but hopefully that late goal will help get them playing better the rest of the game. Stonehill's early chances came mostly off bad Cornell play in their own zone.

Now 6-1 good "guys" end of 2.

Much better.

The sixth goal, by Rory Guilday with 20 seconds left in the second period, left the Colgate commentator saying "the Big Red again are in the Red Light District," which is funny but perhaps inappropriate.

And...7-1 Final.

Our Athletic Department should charter a couple of buses and get some fans to Hamilton to support our WIH team!

Doesn't help the men are home vs Harvard though this weekend. Hockey fans are gonna go for that first.

Attendance of Colgate Class of '64 Arena: 215
Attendance at St Lawrence 1 Penn State 0 (OT) in Madison: about the same
Attendance likely for SLU-Wisconsin Saturday: sell-out (LaBahn Arena, capacity 2273), because Wisconsin fans are hockey-mad (their main arena, Kohl Center, holds 15,000 for hockey).

Of note: the Penn State student run paper (Daily Collegian) and a fan site (Onward State) had substantial coverage within 30 minutes of the game ending.

The Sun's coverage late Thursday had yet to publish. Sheesh. The Sun was effectively my undergraduate major.

Women’s game is at 2, men’s at 7. Leave Ithaca at noon, leave Hamilton around 4:30ish. Check hoops on your tablet. Lax isn’t until Sunday.

Indeed.

Actually, I was thinking about the triple overtime game in Green Bay. I had to drive to Chicago right after that game and then wake up early enough for a 7 AM flight out of Midway the next morning.

I was supposed to meet my fairly-new girlfriend at a party but the game kept going. We've been married for over 15 years but it was touch and go for a hot minute.

A reminder that Cornell plays at Colgate today at 2 for a ticket to the Frozen Four. Live coverage here.

Bergman busy early.

Colgate just scored after yet another Cornell turnover. Colgate clearly bigger, faster, and more tenacious on puck retrievals

1-0 Colgate after one. Colgate had the better of play, and ironically Gate scored on a bad turnover. We're in it but it is an uphill task against a much better team than we are.

We have a power play, we need to cash in.

REALLY nice try on a rebound after a great set upon pp. Excellent passing and movement.

Osbourne, Gate goalie, loses her stick and Cornell scores!!!!!

1-1, after 2. Second period evened out. We are just one great period away from the Frozen Four.

Colgate scores with 4 minutes to go.

Trotsky
Colgate scores with 4 minutes to go.

Only a matter of time. We can’t string any passes together, and Colgate has had the clear edge in play. I was hoping we could get to OT and score off a lucky bounce, but that seems like a big hill to climb now.

Yes, have just 4 SOG in the period. Now we need a heroic play by Izzy or someone.

TBH Colgate is an outstanding team, and we are right here with them. Either way, a great game and season.

Cornell EN.

Colgate ENG, wins 3-1.

All 3 games to colgate. Nice

All 3 games to colgate. Nice

Actually Colgate beat us all 4 games. We gave it a good go today, but Colgate is a national championship contender, and we’re a cut below them this season.

Flipped over to Clarkson game. Clarkson just tied Minnesota with an EAG. Crowd it Potsdam seems much larger than Hamilton.

Now in triple overtime...

Nobody is stopping OSU or Wisco this year. That is a pre-ordained final.

Women's hockey has had four 2-team eras since the national title began:

2001-05 Minnesota-Duluth (3) Minnesota (2)
2006-11 Wisconsin (4) Minnesota-Duluth (2)
2012-18 Minnesota (4) Clarkson (3)
2019-23 Wisconsin (3) Ohio State (1)

Absolutely. On the eye, Brianne Jenner is the clear GOAT of Cornell Women's Hockey. It just so happened that there were generational talents at other, more nationally-competitive, schools at the same time

Forward Leah MacSween, who played in one game this past season, is in the transfer portal.

Of course she (Ruggiero) was out of Ivy eligibility. I wonder if Derraugh plans to pull someone in from the transfer portal like he did with Katie Chan. There’s a lot of talent there.
