...Cornell (2-2-1, 2-1-1 ECAC) on Friday, the site of its first round exit of a year ago, and, despite a strong performance, managed to walk away with just a 1-1 tie. Harvard then defeated Colgate (2-6-2, 1-3-0), 3-2, at Starr Rink on Saturday, giving the Crimson three valuable ECAC points off an extremely difficult road weekend...
