...neither of whom has shown so far that he is able to come close to the play of last year's great goaltender, Pick Alter. Should the Crimson be able to mount as strong an attack as they did last weekend, in the 10-8 loss to Cornell, the cream of the Ivies, they just might snap their two-season league losing streak this afternoon...
