Cornell Big Red @ Eli Yale, 11/3/23

[40-Year Big Red Fan]

From the first four home games, the Cornell Big Red seem to have seamlessly integrated 10 freshman without missing a beat. Goalie Ian Shane has been named the ECAC Goalie of the Month. Three freshman defensemen have stepped into the skates of the three graduating defensemen. Goals have been spread among returning and fresh skaters.

Now does reality set in with the first Road, Ivy, and ECAC game? We'll see.
