Never thought I’d see empty seats for this game in my lifetime. Starr would have been packed to the rafters. No brazen students with Big Red gum? Thunder sticks? White towels? Has the entire student body gone woke? Has the athletic dept forgotten how to promote games for spectators or is this all COVID’s fault? The weather? Where was the message that concessions are now open? I had to read about it in a Nicki Moore tweet an hour before the game.
Guess the stars were aligned just right. Their goalie seemed to have an off-night and our special teams saved the day. Benson gave up his typical few goals which is usually enough to sink us.
The chemistry is always different for this series, you can feel it, but it never translates to consistency for the rest of our season. This game we held our own and it didn’t look impossible to do. Cornell is always big. Always aggressive. Always has their annoying travel base/band. Always nationally ranked. Yet for some reason, this time, unlike most others, we topped them. Looking at our record now and being only 4 games or so below .500 is typical but the W could be a motivation to step it up and a validation of hard work. We’ll see what tonight brings, but a split on the road is more than I thought we’d ever get though hoping for more.
Can’t convince me that this win will resurrect my lost faith in DV!
