In total, Cohen recorded six hat tricks, including three in a row to close out the season...
...Crimson (10-3-5, 5-1-1 Ivy) equaled its win total from a year ago while taking the league title, as well as nabbing its first NCAA tournament berth since 2004. It was another huge step in second-year coach Ray Leone’s development of the program, which had last won the Ancient Eight crown...
