Eh, somewhat simple... Cornell won the first tiebreaker, head-to-head record,
by going 2-0 against Clarkson. Princeton and Harvard split their two games, so
we go to the second tiebreaker, record against the top five teams (St.
Lawrence, Colgate, Rensselaer, Cornell, and Clarkson). There, Princeton wins
the tiebreaker, with a 3-5-2 record compared to Harvard's 1-8-1.
