Don’t Forget about Hockey
Many know, Cornell alum/student or not, that Cornell basketball is the 14 seed playing Missouri this Friday at 3pm. Fewer, many fewer, know that Cornell hockey will be playing Princeton in the East Coast Hockey Conference semifinals this weekend in Albany, NY. Winning the conference will guarantee Cornell a spot in the hockey national tournament and a chance for the national title. Cornell is seeded as #2 in the tourney while Princeton is #3. Making it this far involved defeating 11 seed RPI two games to one. Aside from needing 3 games to advance, what was just as entertaining/surprising was the scoreboard at the end of game 2. Cornell won 4-0, but take a closer look at shots on goal. (Photo courtesy of Jen Lin’s iPhone)
