M. Hockey Drops to Cornell 2-1, Tops Colgate 4-1

First place was up for grabs Saturday at Bright Hockey Center as thousands of loud and raucous Cornell fans made their annual pilgrimage to Cambridge.

To the Crimson's dismay, the Big Red proved to be just as rough and tough as its fans, pounding out a 2-1victory in a physical contest.

"It's a great rivalry," said Harvard coach Mark Mazzoleni. "The fans saw two great teams lay it all out on the line tonight."

The loss puts No. 13 Cornell (11-6-4, 9-3-2 ECAC) one-point ahead with the Big Red holding a game in hand. Harvard (10-9-1, 9-5-1) remains tied for second with St. Lawrence with seven conference games remaining.

On Friday night, the Crimson downed a supprisingly tough Colgate (6-16-4, 4-9-1) team 4-1.

The Big Red came out hitting early and never stopped, jumping out to an early 2-0 lead and then stifling the Crimson attack for the remainder of the night.

"They played a physical game," Mazzoleni said. "There was a lot of clutching and grabbing going on tonight. It was not to our advantage. It slowed the game right down."
