Cornell prepared for its final five weeks of regular-season play
in ECAC Hockey with an unusual weekend set at Lynah Rink. For
starters, the Big Red’s guests from North Dakota were just
the second WCHA team to visit Ithaca in Lynah Rink’s 53-year
history. Secondly, the Big Red were outplayed by a slight margin
and outshot on their home ice on back-to-back nights. Standout
forwards Riley Nash and Colin Greening were held without a
point.
Despite all of that, Cornell managed to get a series split against
North Dakota - ranked fourth in the INCH Power Rankings and both
national polls.
“I think facing a team like North Dakota, one of the top
teams in the country, they really challenged us,” Cornell
forward Blake Gallagher said. “It put everything into
perspective in terms of where we are as a hockey team and where we
need to go and what we need to improve on. Playing a tough team
like that, I think both teams got better this weekend.”
