Cornell (25-1-1, 19-0-1 ECAC Hockey) — currently ranked No. 2 in the nation — will look to repeat its dominating early season performances in which the Red beat both the Green (17-9, 13-7) and the Crimson (14-9-4, 13-4-3) at home in Lynah Rink. Cornell takes on Dartmouth tonight at 7 p.m. in Hanover, N.H. at Thompson Arena, while Harvard will host the Red tomorrow afternoon at 4 p.m. in Boston, Mass. at the Bright Hockey Center.

In that matchup, both junior forward Catherine White and senior forward Karlee Overguard skated away with a pair of goals, with sophomore defenseman Laura Fortino and junior forward Chelsea Karpenko scoring as well.
