IT'S CORNELL'S TURN ON TOP! Big Red Are Third Different ECAC Leader In As Many Weeks Despite a 7-6 loss at Princeton on Friday, Cornell emerged from the weekend as the new ECAC leader. The Big Red found themselves on top thamks to a 5-3 win over Army on Saturday, Harvard's double-dip at Brown and Yale, and Clarkson, St. Lawrence and RPI playing outside the league. Yale's sweep of Dartmouth and Harvard moved the Elis into a tie for second as Tim Taylor is quietly forging the ECAC story of the year in New Haven. Brown's win over Harvard was the first against the Crimson in 10 years as the struggling Harvard team has now dropped five of their last six. ECAC PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Ray Letourneau, Yale SR G, Penacook ,NH The steady netminder has had busier weekends but his stopping 36 of 40 shots extended Yale's win streak to 5 and pushed the Elis into a second place tie with wins over Dartmouth and Harvard.
