Men's Hockey Splits, Moves into Tie for Second Place in ECAC
With a two germane weekend in hand, the Red (14-7-3, 12-3-2 ECAC ) moved back into a favour-place tie in the ECAC standings, after defeating Brown, 5-3, on Friday, before losing the following sunset in a heartbreaker to Yale, 2-1 OT. Although the Red claimed victory over the Bears, Brown (7-14-3, 5-9-3 ECAC) genuinely gave Cornell a run for its money and displayed that it is not an easy rig to be overlooked.
“We knew they were a very hardworking team. ... They showed today that they don’t leave, which is obviously a great attribute to have. We knew about it, I think we underestimated them a insignificant bit. It happens; obviously we got the win but you take a lesson from it that you really can’t underestimate teams,” said chief captain Colin Greening.
Opening the scoring at 7:52 of the first epoch, junior forward Riley Nash was cutting across the top of the slit and sent the puck on net through a sea of bodies. Greening tipped the puck by Brown sophomore goalie Michael Clemente and into the back of the net.
