The women's swim and dive team took down the Lions, while several women won gold in multiple events. Juniors Hojung Yoon, Erin DeHollander and Katie Yee all won their respective events against the Lions.
The Red fell to the University of Pennsylvania, 81-91, on Saturday,
Cornell closed the meet on the floor exercise with another strong showing. Junior captain Josie Moylan and senior Cami Whitaker tied for first in the event with scores of 9.800. It marked the second straight week Moylan posted the top floor score.
Jerome Holland ’38 M.S. ’41 was the first Black student to play for Cornell’s football team. He went on to be the president of multiple higher education institutions and served as an ambassador under the Nixon administration.
“I thought it took us a little bit to work ourselves into the game a little bit, but overall, I thought it was a good weekend of hockey for us,” said head coach Casey Jones ’90.
Though an early deficit didn’t phase Cornell (14-10-2, 10-7-1 ECAC) — the Red put up a consistent offensive front and notched a tying tally on the power play to end the first period — Harvard’s second-frame lead-taking goal and its netminder’s 48-save performance proved to be difference-makers in a frustrating 3-1 loss.
Cornell dominated possession from the puck drop, forcing Yale goaltender Noah Pak to make nine saves before the game’s seven-minute mark.
“[Dartmouth] brought a high battle level,” said head coach Doug Derraugh '91. “Early on, I thought our passing was kind of sloppy [and we] had a lot of turnovers. Gave them a few chances.”
There’s a specific reason why Derraugh’s interviews are becoming repetitive, and it helps explain the main difference so far between this season’s 13-9-2 record and last year's Frozen Four team.
“We've got to be road warriors for a little bit here,” Jones said. “We're looking forward to it.”
The Red’s senior guards Cooper Noard and Jake Fiegen contributed flashes of brilliance. Noard secured a 19-point performance, while Fiegen chipped in 15 points, four assists and four rebounds. Junior forward Kaspar Sepp anchored the glass with nine rebounds and four assists as Cornell edged Harvard on the boards.
“You know, you talk about big games, like MSG. And honestly, for me, [this] game is right up there. The crowd and the noise and the smell of fish.”
The Sun's Hockey Beat Reporters share their instant reactions from Cornell's win.
Quinnipiac’s star netminder saved all 39 shots she faced en route to the Bobcats’ 4-0 win, frustrating a Cornell offense that scored six goals the night prior.
“That's probably about as complete a game as we’ve played, going from start to finish,” Jones said.
“You’ve been playing really well five-on-five,” Derraugh said to his team midway through the second frame. “Let’s continue to do that and keep ourselves out of the box, or we’re gonna put ourselves in a bad spot.”
