Very freely flowing hockey with no stoppages in first 7 minutes. Strangest play: a Cornell player looked like a soccer defenseman passing back to the goalie. Luckily McGrath was up to the save.

0-0.

The refs are really not calling anything. Half way through the game and still no penalties, despite several that could have been called. 11:12 2d.

Unfortunately, Cornell seems to be conforming to this season's form of having their best period in the 1st and deteriorating thereafter. 7:25 3d.

No sustained outbreaks from their defensive end.
