The Big Red answered the Crimson's surprising opening strike less than three minutes later on a one-timer from the top of the crease by freshman winger Stephen Baby at 10:33.
Junior Danny Powell handed Cornell its first lead of the game when he pinched down from the left point to blast an errant pass from Stienstra into the upper righthand corner. The gorgeous shot beat Prestifilippo with 6:39 remaining in the opening period.
Crimson sophomore defenseman Pete Capouch tied up the score at 2-2 and a charging Mike Rutter one-timed a shot from the slot for Cornell at 17:13 to round out the period's scoring.
Senior winger Brett Chodorow sprained his shoulder during the first period on a missed check and did not play Saturday. Sophomore Jared Cantanucci took his lineup spot.
The Aftermath
The group only advanced once to Lake Placid, during their sophomore season. The Crimson that year swept Colgate at home to move on and wound up finishing third, winning the consolation game against Yale.
The seniors' playoff escapades came full circle with the losses at Cornell. Their rookie season also ended in a Lynah sweep.
