In the men's hockey team's 4-1 victory over Brown last Friday, junior forward Michael Kennedy's 15th career goal extended the Cornell lead to 2-0 in the first period. That score is just one in a long line of recent success for the third-year forward out of Dorchester, Ont.

"Mike's done a tremendous job," said head coach Mike Schafer '86. "I'm not a big statistics guys, [but] I know he continues to score."

Statistically, this has been Kennedy's breakout year. He has tallied 13 points in 19 games this season, good for fourth on the team. His seven goals - already more than last season's total of five with ten regular season games left to play - put Kennedy in a three-way tie for first with senior co-captain Topher Scott and freshman Riley Nash.
