No. 18 Cornell Rallies to Take 5-4 Game from Princeton
November 04, 2017 | Men's Ice Hockey
One night after 65 scoreless minutes on the ice at Hobey Baker Rink, the Princeton men's hockey team played a different kind of thriller.
Princeton and Cornell battled to the final horn, which came a split second after the Tigers' last chance to tie whistled wide of the goal, leaving the 18th ranked Big Red to hang on for a 5-4 win.
"It was a fast paced game, and we played a solid 200 foot game," Fogarty said. Unfortunately it was last goal wins. We had a chance with the goalie pulled, a 5x4 extra attacker. We know what our standard of place has to be and we have to move on to next Friday. Our power play wasn't crisp, we looked for openings and packed it in and we just have to get shots through when that happens. We had opportunities in the third and just didn't capitalize."
By contrast to the rare 0-0 tie that Princeton played against Colgate Friday night, when obviously no player on either team would score, this time there would be nine goals from nine different players. In fact, any chance of a repeat of Friday's game vanished when Cornell's Alec McCrea scored just 1:43 into the game Saturday.
Senior David Hallisey tied it for the Tigers midway through the first, and it would be a 3-2 Princeton lead as the teams combined for three goals in the a 1:55 span late in the first period, the Princeton goals by juniors Josh Teves and Ryan Kuffner after Alex Rauter had put the Big Red back up. The lead grew to 4-2 Tigers when junior Max Véronneau scored 4:47 into the second.
Cornell, though, would rally, tying it before the period ended and then scoring the game-winner, from Brenden Locke with 6:41 to play. Locke tucked his shot just inside the top corner of the goal past Tiger freshman goalie Ryan Ferland, who had come up with several spectacular saves to keep the game tied.
Princeton, now 1-1-1, 0-1-1 in the ECAC, is at Union and RPI next weekend.
