Also interesting to note that Colgate no longer had anything to play
for at this point - knowing that a Cornell tie or win meant they
couldn't take 4th -- so, the description of  a "tired overtime" could
also be attributed to both teams knowing the tie was good enough. All
Colgate's incentive was to win to knock Clarkson to 3rd, but difference
did it make to them. I'm not saying neither team tried to score, but,
really, I could see the intensity not being the same.
