CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Tyler Roeszler, Keir Ross and Blake
Gallagher each had a goal as the Cornell men's hockey team scored a
3-0 victory over rival Harvard on Friday night at the Bright Hockey
Center in Cambridge, Mass. The win keeps Cornell tied atop the ECAC
Hockey standings with Yale, a 7-5 winner over St. Lawrence on
Friday night.
Roeszler and Ross scored just 25 seconds apart in the second
period, providing all the offense needed by the Big Red (16-7-3,
13-4-2 ECAC Hockey) to knock off Harvard (7-16-3, 7-9-3 ECAC
Hockey) for the second time this season and for the first time at
Harvard's Bright Hockey Center since Nov. 11, 2005. Riley Nash had
a pair of assists, while Nick D'Agostino, Sean Collins, Colin
Greening and Justin Krueger each added a single assist.
Ben Scrivens posted 22 saves for his fifth shutout of the season
and the 16th of his Cornell career, leaving him two shy of tying
David McKee for the career lead in that category. Harvard netminder
Kyle Richter stopped 23 shots in taking the loss. Neither team had
success on the power play on the night, as both teams went
0-for-2.
After a scoreless first period that saw Scrivens make just six
saves and Richter stop just two shots, Cornell got on the board
with Roeszler's fourth goal of the month of February at the 10:14
mark of the second period. Just 25 seconds later, it was Ross
adding his second tally of the year, with Nash and Greening
tallying assists to stake Cornell to a 2-0 lead.
That lead would be more than enough, as Scrivens and the Cornell
defense shut the door on the Crimson, allowing just two shots on
goal in the second period. Scrivens stopped all 14 shots he faced
in the third period as Cornell locked away the win, and Gallagher
scored an empty-net goal with 21.6 seconds to play to seal the
victory.
Cornell returns to action on Saturday, making the trip to Hanover,
N.H., for a 7 p.m. contest against Dartmouth at Thompson Arena.
