Cornell (2-0, 0-0 Ivy) started the game strong, scoring three straight in response to Denver (3-1, 0-0 Big East) opening the scoring. Cornell continued to pile on the highly-touted Denver defense, leading 6-3 at the end of the first quarter. Cornell’s lead slipped away, with the Denver defense hunkering down, allowing for a five goal Pioneers scoring run to sandwich halftime. After Denver scored to put the Red behind 7-9 in the fourth quarter, senior faceoff Jack Cascadden won the draw and successfully found the back of the net. The offense put up an impressive performance against a fantastic Denver defense and goalie, scoring 13 even after being bottled up for the second and third quarters.
