With a 4-2-1 overall record, it would be wrong to say that the No.
18 Harvard men’s hockey team is having a tough season.
Yet despite the winning record, the Crimson has yet to notch a win
on the road and has been consistently plagued by penalties. The
team will have to find a way to overcome both these weaknesses as
well as a large and unfriendly home crowd to get the win tonight
when it faces No. 14 Cornell (2-0-2) at the James Lynah Rink in
Ithaca, NY.
“Playing at Cornell is unlike playing anywhere else,”
co-captain Brian McCafferty said. “For us, it’s always
a big game and to get a win out at Cornell would be a highlight of
the season. To do it, we’ve got to stay out of the penalty
box because that’s been our cancer so far. Another thing that
we’re concentrated on is a quick start. Cornell’s a
real hostile environment. Maybe we can settle the crowd down a
little bit if we score early.”
