The Raiders (31-6-1, 18-4-0 ECAC) went on to win the ECAC tournament the next day by defeating Clarkson 3-0. The first game of ECAC Championship Weekend began in front of 1135 fans at the Class of 1967 Arena in Hamilton, NY. It was the NCAA-leading 44th power play goal for Colgate. Though Colgate had dominated for much of the game, Cornell had tied the score and seized the game’s momentum. A tie game with 13:57 left in the third quickly turned into a 5-1 Colgate blowout crushing the Red’s ECAC championship hopes.
