Billy Corkery's sudden-death overtime goal gave Harvard a 6-5 victory over a surprisingly tenacious Clarkson team last night, sending Harvard on to meet B.U. in the ECAC semis and providing the Watson Rink fans with Harvard's first overtime victory in three years...
...into the eighth playoff spot only because of Boston College's loss at Pennsylvania Saturday, is a scrappy squad, though, and could make a surprisingly close game of it. Still, one has to go with Cornell because of its recent record, the tremendous advantage of Lynah Rink, and general ECAC tradition. The eighth team just doesn't beat the first, at least not at Ithaca, CORNELL...
...BOSTON UNIVERSITY: Many Terrier supporters feel that the major reason behind B.U.'s unexpected loss to Harvard in the ECAC semifinals last year was due to the physical pounding it had absorbed in the quarterfinal game against RPI. Even though the Terriers destroyed the Engineers 11-0, in that game, and again won easily at Boston, 7.3, last month, they probably would prefer to play someone else if they could.

Last month, it was a tight game at Cambridge until Dave Hynes broke it open with four goals, and the Crimson went...

Now, after losing at Clarkson a week ago, the Wildcats are hitting the road, and it could mean that they'll have to wait yet another year to play at Boston Garden in the ECAC semifinals, Pennsylvania, once the laughingstock of Eastern hockey, has built a fast, deep squad with a nucleus of Canadian material, and it deserves a seed in the top four as much as anyone. The Quakers have beaten Harvard and Clarkson this winter, and are currently riding a four-game winning...
