Team Notes: Cornell to Host Quinnipiac in Quarterfinals
ITHACA, N.Y. -- A trio of upsets in the first round of the ECAC
Hockey tournament had a direct effect on the Cornell men, as the
Big Red will face eighth-seeded Quinnipiac in the quarterfinal
round of the league tournament. The Big Red will play host to the
Bobcats in a best-of-three series at Lynah Rink this weekend, with
each game slated for a 7 p.m. start.
The fifth, sixth and seventh seeds in the tournament were all
upset by the lower seeds in the first weekend, with 12th-seeded
Colgate defeating Rensselaer in three games, 11th-seeded St.
Lawrence knocking off Princeton in three games, and 10th-seeded
Harvard downing seventh-seeded Clarkson in two games.
The quarterfinal round will now feature top-seeded Union playing
host to Colgate, second-seeded Yale at home against St. Lawrence,
and third-seeded Dartmouth taking on Harvard. The four
quarterfinal round winners will advance to the league championship
weekend on March 19 and 20 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City,
N.J.
