I watched the Cornell game after the Cuse game.  Cornell's play today was strange.  They scored 6 goals in the first quarter (I think led 6-2 at one point) & looked like they were going to score 100.  But they only scored 4 goals the rest of the game.  It didn't seem like all of a sudden Penn brought great defense.  It was more Cornell was missing passes or not making the right ones.  Their new star freshman Ryan Goldstein, who played so great against Princeton, hardly touched the ball much of the game.  Cornell had multiple opportunities late in the 4th & in the 2 OT periods to win the game but on some offensive possessions they never got a shot off.  A few moving picks & at least one hold by an offensive player.  Their faceoffs were fair, winning 14 of 26.  Their goalie was good but not great.  CJ Kirst had 4 goals.  They are great on the wings on faceoffs and really muck things up.  They also have a tenacious ride.  They are certainly beatable and if we bring our "good" game for 60 minutes we should have an excellent chance to win.  Glad we finished strong today so we can bring that into the game Tuesday night.  BTW, Penn won 11-10 in 2 OTs.

I also watched the Army-UNC game before our game.  Again UNC went out to a good first half lead and couldn't hold it.  Like against High Point their defense wasn't great in the 4th qtr (hmmm) and Army won 13-12.  Strange last 40 seconds.  Army has the ball & called TO.  When play resumed all Army had to do was kill the rest of the clock.  BUT, they took a shot toward the empty net from near the sideline inside the restraining line but missed but NC had the backup.  NC never came close to getting a shot off.  Awful offense.
