CORNELL JUMPS AHEAD IN LONE ECAC CONTEST

In the only ECAC game of the week, the Cornell Big Red won its fourth
game in a row with a 6-3 defeat of St. Lawrence and moved into a
fifth-place tie with Princeton.  The day before, Cornell also took a
convincing 4-1 victory over Brown in a non-league game, featuring a hat
trick by rookie Dana Antal.  The Granite State Invitational at host New
Hampshire featured a cast of perennial powers in women's hockey, including
Concordia, Northeastern and Providence.  Unfortunately for the ECAC
schools, the title was taken north of the border with Concordia, who
completed a clean, 3-0 sweep.  The Stingers were led by former PC star
Cammi Granato, who was named Tournament MVP.  ECAC players making the
all-tournament team included Alana Blahoski (PC), Annie Camins (UNH),
Heather Reinke (UNH) and Kathryn Waldo (NU).  In a slow week of league
action, the ECAC Division I schools racked up a 4-0-1 record against ECAC
Alliance teams.  Boston College led the way with a 14-1 ripping of RPI.  In
an unusual scoreless game, Yale tied Bowdoin.
