Colgate, SLU and Cornell starting to separate from the pack a bit, but still a lot up in the air. Cornell is in decent shape for a first-round bye, but definitely doesn’t want to drop any points against Harvard.

Kicking Harvard's ass up and down the ice, 5-0 late 2nd.
Lily Delianedis just scored her 50th goal and 102nd point.

This may be the weekend to decide who tops the 2025 women's ECAC RS standings and has the best chance to host the ECAC playoff finals. All games including semifinals/finals are played on campus, the higher seeds host each game, and with six RS games left, first-place Colgate leads Cornell 38 points to 37.5 points, the half-point on account of a game tied after overtime awards 1.5 points to each team even though there is a shootout. (Regulation win is 3, OT win is 2 / OT loss is 1, shootout is point-less except to say "we won the shootout."
This is the weekend with the serious competition for #4 (polls) Cornell/#5 Colgate. Cornell hosts #6 St. Lawrence Friday at 6, #9 Clarkson Saturday at 3, Colgate has the opposite schedule. If Cornell wins both and Colgate loses one in regulation or OT, that'd put Cornell in a position to host the semifinals/finals March 7-8.
Cornell/Colgate close with away games at RPI/Union then at home Feb. 14/15 with Brown/Yale. Yale and Brown are also-receiving-votes in this week's national polls. Union and RPI are 9-10 in the league, ahead of only Dartmouth/Harvard. The first two rounds of the playoffs are similar to men's hockey: Feb 22 or 23, 1-4 seeds draw byes, 5-12 play single games, then Feb. 28-March 2 the survivors play best of three series.

They just had a short segment with Ashley Messier on the ESPN+ broadcast in which she said she’ll be a grad transfer at Minnesota-Duluth next year. (I assume she’s getting an extra year of eligibility for that one season she got hurt early on.)

Watching the 3rd, and this team looks FANTASTIC. I expected a small step backwards after losing the Patty Kaz winner to graduation. They’ve already beaten their 2024 specter in Colgate and are now punishing the #7 ranked St. Lawrence 5-0.
Amazing weekend with SLU and Clarkson coming to CNY, you’ve got four top-10 teams going at it.

Watching the last 2:00 of Clarkson-Colgate. I think I heard Clarkson has close to 60 shots.
I’ve never seen Colgate team wear blue before. Edit: Colgate ties it with 10 seconds left.

It’s not an exact parallel by any means but this team sorta reminds me of that first team to make the Frozen Four — the season Rebecca Johnston was with Team Canada. There was no dominant player but a ton of really good players and scoring contributions from all up and down the lineup.

Can't say I'm familiar, but it definitely feels like, while we might not have any Daniel-level stars, everyone pulls their weight. To make a bad parallel, the Kraken in the 22-23 playoffs seemed similar - no "star power" but INCREDIBLY deep.Weder

Practice the move during a live fire exercise, it may come in handy in the final stretch.Weder
lol why did they pull the goalie.
St. Lawrence is still third in the ECACs. It is nowhere near as bad as the score. It may well keep a top four spot although the difference between a 3- and 4-seed does not protect you from a dominant 1-seed, which way well be Cornell and Colgate, and they're evenly matched.
In the ECAC standings, Clarkson screwed us over by allowing Colgate to tie a 1-0 game with 9 seconds to play then won in OT. Had the Tarnished Knights held on, Cornell would have a a 2-1/2 point lead over Colgate rather than the 1/2 point lead. We still have a tough Clarkson team tonight (and Colgate a hopefully rebounding St. Lawrence). Then we and Colgate have the same four to play, all toward the lower end of the ECAC: RPI, Union, Brown, Yale. One slip by either team may be enough to decide who wins the ECAC RS title and also being able to host the ECAC final two rounds.
We split the regular season with Colgate, winning 2-1 then losing 4-2 (ENG).
The women's tiebreakers are: Head-to-Head Pts Wins in Regulation/OT Points obtained Against Top 4 Teams Points obtained Against Top 8 Teams Goal Differential - Head-to-Head Games Goal Differential against Top 4 Teams Goal Differential against Top 8 Teams Coin Flip

Sadly I don’t live in Ithaca but it is always tempting to go up for the weekend. In part years attendance has picked up for the last few home games and home playoff games, so hopefully that continues next year. The record I think is something around 3000? Can’t remember if it was for a RS or playoff game, but it was maybe a decade or so ago.

Izzy Daniel is a late addition to the U.S. roster for the upcoming set of Rivalry Series games with Canada. I think Jenner, O’Neill and Zandee-Hart are on the Canadian roster. No current college players on either roster, as they didn’t want to disrupt the home stretch of the NCAA season.

Both seem about right. Unless something drastic happens to Wisconsin, Minnesota, or tOSU, it's hard to make the case that we deserve to be above any of them. OTOH, unless something perhaps not-so drastic happens to us, we could fall in the rankings.
But if you look at our record, we've had only one loss since 11/2/24. Our other 3 losses were from 10/18/24 to 11/1/24. It's reasonable to think that without Ivy restrictions on when the season begins, we'd have been better prepared for these early games against opponents who had 6 (Mercyhurst), 12 (tOSU), and 10 (Onion) more games under their belts that we did. In short, as the season has progressed, Cornell has improved. We're probably better than #4 in the polls, but that's fine. The final standings will be decided on the ice.

Lots of opportunities in the first but good goaltending and bad breaks worked against us. A 5 on 3 early in the second got things started and then the breaks started going our way. Credit to RPI, they are hustling and poke checking like crazy. I don't think they can keep it up all game, however.

Colgate going to OT against RPI, so Cornell will add to its lead in the standings, and I believe the Red have clinched 2nd place.
UPDATE: RPI beats Colgate in OT, so I believe that means Cornell can clinch the RS title with a win over Brown or a Colgate loss to Yale on Friday. Or if Cornell ties and Colgate does not win in regulation.

Going into the final weekend versus Brown Friday and Yale Saturday, Cornell has a 4.5-point lead over Colgate for the RS title and the right to host the semifinal and final rounds. Yale is 5th in the ECAC, Brown is 8th. Teams get 3 points for a win, 2 for OT win, 1.5 for OT tie (there is a shootout but no points awarded), 1 for OT loss, 0 for regulation loss. One Cornell win is enough to clinch (also one Colgate loss), also two overtime wins or ties, anything that gets Cornell 3 points over 2 games. That max Colgate can finish with is 52 points and Cornell is already at 49.5.
With the RS title, Cornell gets to host the final two rounds, at Lynah Rink. The women's playoffs run like the men's ECAC playoffs: round 1 is the 5- to 12-seeds play off Feb. 22 or 23 (one game), then the survivors play quarterfinals at the top four schools, best of 3, Feb. 28-March 2, no conflict with Cornell men who finish on the road. If Cornell women win — Cornell beat Yale 2-0 in November, Brown 2-1 – it hosts the semifinals Friday March 7 and finals Saturday March 8, rather than in, say, Lake Placid. (This could pose a conflict if Cornell men have to play in the first round. Best guess is women play for the title Saturday afternoon, Cornell men play Saturday evening.)
(Also that weekend: Cornell men's lacrosse hosts #13 Penn State at 12 noon. Dress warm.)
ECAC women's standings as of Feb. 9, one week left to play:

Parking going to be at a premium March 8. Lacrosse super-fans will want to tailgate. Then WHockey and MBkb (Columbia, possibly to insure a 2-3 seeding for the ILT). Then MHockey. I would kill for temps in the 40s. Weather service says the average Ithaca temperature at the start of March is a high ~40. 40 in March feels like 50 does in the fall.Jeff Hopkins '82

The rink almost always looks empty for women's games because most spectators sit on the press box side of the rink -- even most of the visitors for some reason. I always liked to stand at the top opposite the Cornell bench and move each period to follow the offense because that is usually where all the action is. If part of the rink is empty, might as well take advantage!

Cornell up to No. 3 in the Pairwise and Minnesota is on a 4-game losing streak, so it Will be interesting to see how today's game against Yale shakes out given that the ECAC RS title is wrapped up. I wouldn't be surprised if we see the senior goalies playing today, but does Derraugh put the Pairwise as a priority? (Also would be really nice to have an undefeated Ivy record.)

Yale's 44 went down awkwardly on a hit and took a while to get up. Don't expect her back, sadly. Shots were like 10-0 in favor of Cornell in the first 9 minutes; now 12-2, still no goals.
