...might struggle to hit 40 in Ithaca. Cornell by 15.PENN (15-6, 7-0) AT COLUMBIA (8-13, 1-7)The Lions have recently been very good at keeping home dates with the Quakers relatively close.Since “relatively close” could be defined as a margin of less than 20 points, such a phrase has a slightly different meaning this season. Unless Penn starts getting bored, a 20-point win should be a breeze.YALE (13-10, 5-3) AT DARTMOUTH (3-18, 1-7)Keep in mind that despite losing by 17 in New Haven three weeks...

Miller again came out with authority in his trademark "backseat" style, piling over the two bumps in the upper part of the Sestriere Colle slalom run. At the end of the run, Miller had a .97 second lead on Raich heading into the second...
...last four games—three of which were wins—Harvard (14-9-2, 10-7-1 ECAC) has launched at least 40 shots per night, including against Northeastern. Midway through the first period, the Crimson led the Huskies by a 19-1 margin, and junior Ryan Maki’s power-play strike from the left side put Harvard up 3:35 just into the frame. But Northeastern goaltender Adam Geragosian kept his team in it through the first 20 minutes, falling on Alex Meintel’s chance from the right post during...
