Focus Shifts to St. Lawrence, Clarkson
The following article appeared in the December 2 issue of the Cornell Daily Sun.
Just three days removed from a dramatic overtime loss to Boston University, it would not be surprising to hear that the men’s hockey team still has its mind on the 2-1 defeat at Madison Square Garden. But for a Cornell squad that has overcome questions of youth to lead its conference through the first month of league play, it was simply business as usual at Lynah Rink during Tuesday’s practice.
“At Monday’s practice it was a little bit like that, as far as guys coming in and wanting to watch video on the weekend and see what transpired,” said head coach Mike Schafer ’86. “[Tuesday] we had a tremendous practice. It was high tempo, guys worked extremely hard and I think we’ve always tried to pride ourselves on looking back at the games and evaluating … how [we] played and then moving forward.”
The Red (6-3-0, 5-1-0 ECAC Hockey) will face its first test since the Nov. 26 loss to the Terriers when it starts a two-game homestand against St. Lawrence (5-7-0, 4-2-0) on Friday at 7 p.m., with fellow North Country foe Clarkson (8-5-3, 2-3-1) set to take the Lynah Rink ice on Saturday at the same start time.
