Cornell rockets out to the early lead in the ECAC Women's League with a 
pair of clinical road wins at Princeton & Yale.  Yale and St. Lawrence
hooked up for a real battle on Saturday that the Saints eventually won 3-4
in OT.  UNH and Harvard were the co-winners in the All-American tournament
as both went 3-0.  Minnesota had a good showing in the All-American
forcing Harvard to come back from 2-0 down in the first for a 2-3 road
victory.  The first-season Gophers also made it fairly close in a 1-5 loss
to powerful UNH.
 
This weekend the entire ECAC League jumps into action.  Cornell and St.
Lawrence host Colby and UNH.  Big Red will try to maintain first place
against the tough visitors, while the Saints will look to continue their
improving play.  DC & BC host Brown and PC while Yale and Princeton remain
at home to road warriors NU and Harvard.  It is early, but points in the 
bank now are always a nice reality.
 
The ECAC Alliance starts its pre-season games this weekend while the
Midwest Alliance continues in the thick of it.
 
I want to thank everyone who sends me women's results.  I, and many
others, appreciate the information and the ability to keep up on the
women's game.  merci
