ITHACA -- If you watched Bemidji State in the Frozen Four on
Thursday night, you couldn't help but wonder what could have been
for the Cornell men's hockey team this season.
The very same Beavers that eliminated the Big Red in an NCAA
regional final came back to earth in a loss to Miami (Ohio),
landing the RedHawks in tonight's national championship game. It's
a tantalizing thought for Cornell fans to know how close their team
was to being there, too.
"It's natural to look at it and look at their record at 18-15-1
coming into the weekend and sit there and say we had a great
opportunity," Cornell coach Mike Schafer said. "But overall, when
you get done and walk out of there, you realize it's still the same
whether it's Bemidji, Notre Dame, Wisconsin or Minnesota. The same
opportunity presented itself. It's really disappointing not to get
to the Frozen Four regardless of who it is."
