Following an electrifying, four-point weekend sweep, the men’s hockey team (12-5-3, 9-2-2 ECAC) heads on the road this weekend to face Quinnipiac tonight, in a nationally televised game, before continuing to Princeton on Saturday night.

“We have to get four points [this weekend], so we can stay ahead in the standings. We have to work hard and show what we’ve got, what we can do and how far we can go,” said freshman John Esposito.

The Red’s most recent four-point weekend before last weekend was an opening pair of games back in November; the team aims to repeat these results by focusing on playing smart hockey and reducing the number of turnovers in a game. In addition, Cornell is currently ranked No. 5 in both the USA Today and USCHO national polls.
