SCHENECTADY -- Having reached the goal of earning a first-round bye in the ECAC Hockey tournament, Union embarks upon a new mission this weekend.

The fourth-seeded Dutchmen will host fifth-seeded Cornell, a team they swept during the regular season, in the best-of-three quarterfinals beginning tonight at 7 at Messa Rink. At stake is a berth in the semifinals next weekend at the Times Union Center.
