That 3-way tie would have been fun, but the final standings didn't come
very close to it.  A 3-way tie almost did happen for second place.  If
Cornell and Clarkson had tied Friday, rather than Clarkson winning in
overtime, Cornell, Clarkson, and St. Lawrence would all have finished
with 33 points (with Cornell winning both tie breakers).  (Of course,
with a different Friday outcome, there is no certainty that Saturday's
games would have ended the same.)
