Harkness, the No. 11 Big Red men's lacrosse team gutted out a 12-11
victory over No. 19 Dartmouth that the old ball coach had to have been
proud of. Junior Sean Greenhalgh scored off a rebound with four seconds
to play to help the Big Red shock the Big Green on Saturday afternoon at
Schoellkopf Field.
Greenhalgh scooped up a saved shot four yards in front of the goal and
deposited the game-winner into the right corner in what proved to be a
back-and-forth contest. The score was his third of the game and moved him
into sixth place on Cornell's all-time goal scoring list with 94,
surpassing Big Red greats Tom and Bill Marino and Eamon McEneaney.
Greenhalgh added an assist in the win.
Harkness was honored in a postgame ceremony, recognizing his efforts in
leading the Big Red to a 35-1 record and the program's first two Ivy
League championships in three seasons (1966-68). He may be even better
known as the head coach of Cornell's hockey squads from 1963-70,
recording a 163-27-2 mark with two national titles and the only unbeaten,
untied season in the modern history of NCAA hockey.
Kevin Nee and Justin Redd scored three goals apiece, while Nee also
tallied a pair of assists. Andrew Collins and Dave Pittard each were
credited with a goal and two helpers. Matt McGonagle (eight saves) and
Brandon Ross (three saves) combined for the victory in goal.
Tom Daniels had two goals and two assists to lead the Big Green attack
with Ryan Danehy scoring three times. Brad Heritage (two goals, assist)
and Ben Grinnell (goal, two assists) both notched three points in the
loss. Andrew Goldstein made nine saves while playing all 60 minutes in
goal. The loss spoiled the return of first-year Dartmouth head coach Bill
Wilson, who served as an assistant under Cornell head coach Jeff Tambroni
last year.
Dartmouth was the aggressor early, winning the first four face-offs and
scoring 20 seconds into the period to set the tone. Cornell came back to
take the lead at 3-2 with three scores in a span of 4:16, but Dartmouth
closed out the period with the 4-3 advantage thanks to scores by Heritage
and Grinnell.
Cornell's defense was the story of the second period, holding the Big
Green scoreless for 17:24 starting from the end of the first period.
Cornell's offense took its cue, scoring four straight to open the period
and push the lead to 7-4 before Daniels ended the Big Green's drought
with a 6-yard cannon with 35 seconds to play in the half.
Much like the first period, Dartmouth came out of the locker room
determined to take control of the game, and the first four face-offs and
the first two scores went Dartmouth's way to tie the game at 7-7. Danehy
connected on both goals, but Nee answered the second score just 22
seconds later to regain Cornell the advantage. The two teams traded goals
to end the period, with Redd netting a goal on a feed from Collins with
three seconds to play in the third in a well-designed set play after a
Dartmouth turnover on a clear attempt.
Dartmouth took the last of its four leads with the only scores in the
first nine minutes of the fourth before Redd again put Cornell back into
the scoring column. Nee put Cornell back up 11-10 with 2:28 left in
regulation on an extra-man score, but Dartmouth answered with a man-up
goal 47 seconds later to even the game back with less than two minutes to
go, setting up Greenhalgh's dramatics.
The Big Red will attempt to bolster its NCAA tournament resume when it
visits No. 6 Princeton on Saturday, April 24 at 12 p.m. Princeton leads
the all-time series 35-26-2, including winning the last eight meetings
between the teams.
