Timeout Cornell. Princeton tried to double the ball carrier but the strategy didn't work well. Senior long stick midfielder Charlie Kolkin knocked the ball out of Pannell's stick but Cornell middie Max Seibald picked up the ground ball. Fans are filing out of the stadium now. Kovler gets a goal with 1:32 left in the period on a feed from Tommy Davis.

4th quarter - 4:30: 6-3 Cornell
Cornell ball and the Big Red will hold and win having just picked up an EMO. Tough game to stomach for Tigers fans.
4th quarter - 7:36: 6-3 Cornell
The Big Red break their scoreless drought, and given how things have gone for Princeton that just might be it for the Tigers. Rocco Romero found the net on an assist from Rob Pannell. Cornell wins the faceoff and will likely kill clock from here.
4th quarter - 10:45: 5-3 Cornell
Princeton ball after the Tigers kill an EMO. A goal here would be really helpful for the Tigers. Princeton picks up an EMO as Jack McBride is slashed.
4th quarter - 14:41: Cornell 5-3
Myers with a HUGE save on Chris McBride following a fast break that Barnes initiated with a faceoff win to start the quarter. HUGE save for Myerse.
End of the 3rd Quarter
Kovler scores at the buzzer but it's called back. Apparently he let it go a little late. It would've been his first goal of the day. But the Tigers can't let a missed opportunity get to their head. Princeton hasn't given up a goal in 17:41 and the offense is starting to click.
3rd quarter - 0:28: 5-3 Cornell
Sophomore attackman Chris McBride gets a HUGE goal for Princeton unassisted following another huge Wiedmaier hit on Pannell. Cornell hasn't scored yet this half and the Tigers are beginning to make stuff happen on offense.
3rd quarter - 1:46: Cornell 5-2
Princeton freshman defenseman obliterates Cornell middie Rocco Romero. The game stops as Romero is escorted off the field. Cornell ball after the teams traded possessions following Davis's goal.
3rd quarter - 3:54: Cornell 5-2
Senior attackman Tommy Davis finally finds net for the Tigers on Princeton's third man-up chance of the quarter. Let's see if the Tigers can get something going here. Big Red wins the faceoff.
3rd quarter - 7:00: Cornell 5-1
Another Princeton EMO goes to waste. The Tigers couldn't get any good looks. After moving the ball around, MacKenzie took a shot from 10 yards directly in front of the goal and Myers saved it easily. If they don't get something soon, the Tigers are done.
3rd quarter -
Princeton gets a man up after a Cornell slash on Tiger attackman Chris McBride. But the Tigers waste the chance when junior midfielder Scott MacKenzie's shot isn't backed up.
3rd quarter - 11:50: Cornell 5-1
The teams have traded possessions this half, but neither has gotten any good looks at the goal. Princeton ball, looking to clear.
Halftime Stats

Penalties - CU 2/1:30; PU 0;0:00

Turnovers - CU 10; PU 10
Faceoffs - CU 5-8; PU 3-8
Clears - CU 9-9; PU 8-11
Saves - CU 3; PU 2 (this has been a key stat - the Tigers haven't worked Cornell goalie Jake Myers hard at all while Princeton goalie Tyler Fiorito is not having the best of days)
Halftime: 5-1 Cornell
Princeton is managing absolutely nothing on offense. Cornell is preventing the Tigers from shooting, and the few shots they do get are being saved without much trouble by Big Red goalie Jake Myers. On the other end, Cornell has gotten five goals from five different players. Princeton has made a few nice plays on the defensive end, but if the offense doesn't get it together the defense's work will be all for naught. Stats coming soon.
2nd Quarter - 2:41: Cornell 5-1
Cornell middie John Glynn blasts his way through Princeton short stick defensive midfielder Brendan Reilly and blasts one past Fiorito. This is getting out of hand. Princeton needs something quick on offense or this one could be over by halftime.
2nd Quarter - 5:27: Cornell 4-1
Rob Pannell feeds Jonathan Thompson on the doorstep and the midfielder puts it past Fiorito. The Tigers are in trouble right now.
2nd Quarter - 7:52: Cornell 3-1
Cornell ball in the Princeton zone. Tigers had their EMO kiled. Cornell cleared and the Tigers forced a turnover, but senior defenseman Chris Peyser threw an outlet pass to freshman goalie Tyler Fiorito that went out of bounds, returning the ball right back to the Big Red.
2nd Quarter - 10:42: 3-1 Cornell
Cornell is called for having 5 long poles on the field and the Tigers are a man up.
0:11 - First Quarter: 3-1 Cornell
Rocco Romero gets one back for the Big Red after Cornell killed a Princeton EMO. That one hurts, given how little time there was left. Credit Big Red freshman attackman Rob Pannell with the assist. The quarter ends with the score 3-1. Princeton doesn't want to fall any futher behind as Cornell could very well hold the ball on them again.
2-0 Cornell, 3:40 left in the first
