It used to be that a date with Cornell was a near-guaranteed win
for the Harvard women’s hockey team. The Crimson had the Big
Red’s number of late, winning 10 straight contests over the
last three seasons—including sweeping Cornell out of the last
two conference playoffs.
And when Harvard traveled to Ithaca last weekend, the cards seemed
to be stacked in its favor. The Crimson was picked to finish second
in the ECAC this year; the Big Red was expected to finish seventh.
Plus Cornell’s biggest threat, forward Rebecca Johnston, is
away from the team this season to train with the Canadian Olympic
squad.
But this time, history didn’t repeat itself. Harvard took
the ice at Lynah Rink and fell behind, 1-0. Every time the team
fought back from a deficit, the Big Red would come back to seize
control.
