ITHACA, N.Y. -- Quinnipiac's Jeremy Langlois scored the game's
only goal late in the first period as the Cornell men's hockey team
dropped a 1-0 contest to the Bobcats in game two of the ECAC Hockey
Quarterfinals on Saturday night at Lynah Rink in Ithaca. The loss
sets up a decisive game three at 7 p.m. on Sunday.
Langlois's unassisted goal marked the only scoring of the contest,
as both Cornell goaltender Andy
Iles and Quinnipiac netminder Eric Hartzell were
solid in net. Iles finished with 30 saves on the night, while
Hartzell stopped all 24 shots he faced for the shutout victory.
Cornell finished the night scoreless in four power-play chances,
while Quinnipiac was scoreless in all three of its chances with the
man advantage.
The Bobcats put the only marker on the board at the 14:12 mark of
the first period when Langlois won a neutral zone faceoff and
muscled his way past the Big Red defense, playing the puck off the
boards and regaining possession before ripping a wrist shot that
beat Iles on the blocker side.
From there, the story was the goaltending, as Hartzell stopped
nine shots in both the first and third periods and six in the
second. Iles, meanwhile, was called upon to make 11 saves in the
first and 17 saves in the second, before stopping both shots he saw
in the third.
The two teams will square off again on Sunday in a 7 p.m. contest
at Lynah Rink, with the winner advancing to the ECAC Hockey
championship weekend next weekend at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic
City, N.J. Cornell and Quinnipiac will not be the only teams in
action on Sunday, as all four league quarterfinals are knotted at
one win apiece.
