GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- The Cornell men's hockey team fell to
Bemidji State in the NCAA Midwest Regional Championship game on
Sunday night in Grand Rapids, Mich., falling by a 4-1 margin.
Bemidji State will advance to the NCAA Frozen Four, to be played on
April 9 and 11 in Washington, D.C.
Freshman Sean Collins scored the lone goal for the Big Red, which
closes out the 2009 season with a 22-10-4 record. Ben Scrivens made
17 saves in goal for the Big Red, which went scoreless in four
power-play attempts. Bemidji State's Matt Dalton stopped 23 Cornell
shots, and the Beavers were
scoreless in five power-play chances.
Cornell got on the board first when, after a scorless first period,
a faceoff won in the Bemidji State end was knocked by to Keir Ross.
Ross, circling away from the play, flipped a shot toward the goal,
where it appeared to skip off the shinpad of Collins and up over
the shoulder of Dalton with 12:35 gone in the second period.
Bemidji State answered nearly two minutes later as Ryan Adams
ripped a rocket of a shot over the shoulder of Scrivens from the
corner point.
In the third period, the Beavers took the lead when Tyler Scofield
ripped a wrist shot from the right wing that beat Scrivens over the
blocker side just 4:05 in. With the Big Red trailing, the Beavers
were able to wear down the clock, and Cornell was forced to
pressure, but could not get another shot past Dalton.
Midway through the third period, the Beavers got an insurance goal
when Matt Francis jammed home a shot from the post on Scrivens'
left. As Cornell continued to pressure, the Beavers again held
firm.
Bemidji State added an empty-net goal with 16:37 to play, as
Scofield scored his second goal of the night by firing a wrist shot
from inside the red line.
Sunday night's game marked the final contest for seniors Evan
Barlow, Taylor Davenport, Troy Davenport, Tyler Mugford, Derek
Punches and Jared Seminoff. Barlow was named to the all-tournament
team as the lone Cornell representative.
