There were five new faces in the lineup for the Big Red. One of the players benched was Mike Sancimino, Cornell's leading goal scorer but a player who in the last couple of games has taken a number of bad penalties. RPI had personnel problems of their own, as Tim Regan was absent to attend a funeral and Chris Kiley did not play either; the Engineers suited up just 17 skaters and 2 goalies, and some of the skaters (e.g., defenseman Mike Rolanti) did not play much, if at all. A very entertaining, well-played game by both teams, with lots of end-to-end action, good scoring chances and good goaltending from both Little and Skazyk. If last night's game was Cornell's worst of the year, this may have been their best. Unfortunately, their best doesn't seem to be good enough to win against the pre-season consensus favorite Engineers, who seem to be having some troubles of their own.
