ITHACA — It's not exactly back to the drawing board for the Cornell men's hockey team, but there's certainly a refocused effort on how the Big Red goes about its business from this point forward.

Winner of just one of its last four games, No. 5 Cornell (14-3-4, 9-2-3 ECAC Hockey) returns home this weekend for a pair of pivotal league games on the heels of a disappointing trip to the North Country.

No. 20 St. Lawrence handed down an 8-1 shellacking on Friday, giving the Big Red its worst loss since the 1997-98 season. Cornell rebounded with a scoreless tie the next night at Clarkson, but still returned to Ithaca without at least two points in a league weekend series since last February's North Country trek.
