Correct.  A loss that weekend would have meant the end of SLU's season.  By
beating Cornell and Colgate, SLU made the ECAC tourney as team #10.  They played
#1 ranked Yale in "first to three points" series.  It took three games for a team
to get a win (Yale).

By the way John Poapst scored the exciting last second goal.

Thanks for the memories.
