Moving forward, they’ll face Cornell University in the regional final, a side they won against by 4-3 on January 14, thanks to a last-second goal by freshman Lane Hutson. On the other hand, no. 12 ranked, and no. 4 seeded Cornell University (21-10-2) progressed to the regional finals after they knocked out top-seeded and fourth-ranked Denver in the regional semi-final by 2-0.
In their opening-round win, Cornell dominated offensively early in the game by registering six of the first seven shots and goaltender Ian Shane shined on the big stage as he played a vital role in the win by making 27 shutout saves, with 16 of those in the third half.
Talking about Shane, he is second in the nation in goals-against average and has now three shutouts against teams in the top 10 rankings, becoming the only goaltender in Division I to achieve the feat. Besides him, only Wisconsin’s Jared Moe and St. Cloud State’s Jaxon Castor have multiple shutouts of top 10 teams this season.
It’s worth mentioning that Cornell University last appeared in the Frozen Four in 2003. Since then, they have appeared in five regional finals but couldn’t go further.
Boston University vs Cornell University will be a fixture between the former’s high-powered offense and the latter’s lockdown defence. Cornell will try to go aggressive and get the puck past Boston’s Drew Commesso, who will enter the game with a .914 save percentage and a 2.46 goals-against average. Moreover, they will be finding solutions to their most significant area of concern; the struggle in the power play.
