$50M Verizon Gift To Fund Cornell Tech

By ANNIE BUI Sun News Editor

With a $50 million gift from Verizon, Cornell Tech will develop the Verizon Executive Education Center, where students, faculty and other members of the tech community will be able to collaborate and bring “cutting-edge” ideas to life

The gift, announced Monday, will fund construction of the executive education building, according to Cornell Tech Dean and Vice Provost Dan Huttenlocher

The center will be part of the campus ’ first phase, which broke ground last month and is slated to open in the summer of 2017, according to a University press release However, the executive education center will open

at a later date than the rest of phase one Huttenlocher said the building will be used for activities that do not generally fit in the “normal full-time academic class schedule,” such as workshops, conferences and executive education classes

“Many of these will attract people from companies, both large and small, both in New York City and beyond,” Huttenlocher said “The benefit to students and faculty will be these additional kinds of academic functions and increased interaction with companies and practitioners ” Programs and events at the center will also allow Verizon to “develop customized center-based programs for its executives and customers, ” according to the University

“Students need Asian food,” Kim said “My customers, the students, asked, ‘ Why don’t you open a store in Collegetown? It’s too far away here [at Triphammer Mall] They were so happy I decided to open in Collegetown ”

Kim said the store will be mostly stocked with Korean products, but that she would eventually expand to other types of Asian f

Brous said he and a team of approximately 40 n e w l y h i re d e m p l oye e s h a ve w o rk e d s i n c e

November to return the restaurant to its “original luster ”

“There was a lot of tender love and care that went into preparing the restaurant, ” Brous said “Every wall was repainted Every piece of wood was polished and oiled Every piece of metal was reshined ”

In addition to repairing and renovating parts of the restaurant, the team behind the new Rulloff ’ s has worked extensively to improve the menu

“ We’d like to have a stronger food presence for lunch, dinner and brunch,” Brous said “It’s going to be a more bistro and upscale food bar ”

Not only will the menu feature more “serious” food, the restaurant will also begin offering a latenight menu from 10 p m to midnight and a brunch menu on weekends, according to Todd Nau, general manager of the restaurant

Nau added that the bar menu will revisit the establishment’s historical roots by offering modern twists on cocktails previously ser ved at Rulloff ’ s

“We’re going to build off the strengths that Rulloff ’ s was known for in its original incarnation,” Nau said

The service will also see an “upgrade,” according to Nick Alexander ’12, the front-of-house service manager

“We want a relaxed atmosphere, but at the same time that doesn’t mean we want the service to be loose,” said Alexander, a graduate from the School of Hotel Administration

Out of the over 40 employees hired, approximately four are former employees who worked at Rulloff ’ s before its closure on Labor Day last year, according to Brous

Brous said he received positive comments from Ithaca residents following the December

“There was a real void on College Avenue when Rulloff ’ s closed,” Brous said “Locals who have been here for a very long time are very excited that we might bring Rulloff ’ s back to its original luster ”

Rulloff ’ s will open its doors on Wednesday at 3 p m Additionally, the restaurant will be serving food from an abbreviated menu from 5 to 9 p m until Sunday

Starting Monday, the establishment will begin operating under normal hours from 11 a m until last call at 1 a m , according to Brous

Tech Campus Receives $50 Million From Verizon

VERIZON

Continued from page 1

The possibility of the Verizon gift had been under discussion for several months, according to Huttenlocher

“The gift came about because of a shared interest in the future of education for the digital economy, and the fact that such education will not only be degree programs but also other forms of education that this facility will be designed for,” he said

President David Skorton said in a press release that the “transformative” Verizon gift would allow Cornell to advance its mission of combining academia with industry

“The campus will welcome everyone interested in using technology to advance the economy and to make the world a better place, and the Verizon Executive Education Center will be at the center of it,” Skorton said Verizon chairman and chief executive officer Lowell McAdam said the gift aligned “perfectly” with the company ’ s mission

“The Verizon Executive Education Center will be a magnet for developers, entrepreneurs, educators and innovators across all industries, building on the great talent and creativity we already have in the tech sector here in New York City,” McAdam said in the release

Huttenlocher said he believes the building will be a “major asset ” for Cornell Tech

“[It will] provide facilities beyond those for research and for full-time degree programs that are in the other buildings,” he said

library,” Christopher Andras ’18 said “The second floor of Rand had been home to first-year studio for a long time Hopefully, the change will not drastically change the attitude and studio culture present during the first year of study ”

The Fine Arts Library is currently located on the top floor of the building, while studio space for undergraduates is located on the floor beneath it Some students said they were worried that expanding the Fine Arts Library to occupy two floors would potentially displace their studio space

Though Stephanie Cheung ’18 said she is looking forward to having “ more study and reading spaces so conveniently located,” she was also concerned about the details of the renovation

“As students, we are not really informed about the progress of the expansion and details of the project, so I don’t know to what extent it will affect our circulation from studio to the fabrication shops downstairs,” Cheung said

Super Bowl Celebrations Delayed Due to Storm

BOSTON (AP) The Super Bowl celebration for New Englanders and their beloved Patriots will have to wait another day as Boston continues to get battered by heavy snow

Mayor Marty Walsh said the city will

through downtown until Wednesday morning

He said the city and team have both agreed to hold off on the parade due to Monday’s protracted snowstorm, which dumped more than a foot of fresh snow in the Boston area, making morning and evening commutes treacherous

“ We thank ever yone for their flexibility and patience during the planning of this parade and we look for ward to celebrating with Patriots fans during better weather on Wednesday,” he said in a joint statement with the team

The city had announced earlier that the downtown parade would take place Tuesday But with weather continuing to worsen, Boston public schools preemptively canceled Tuesday classes, the fifth snow day in the past week A decision to cancel the parade followed shortly after

Boston has seen a record 34 2 inches of snow over seven days, according to the National Weather Ser vice The previous seven-day record was 31 2 inches in Januar y 1996

Following their 28-24 victor y over t

Seahawks in Arizona, the Patriots flew back to Massachusetts as scores of flights in and out of Boston’s Logan airport were canceled or delayed Monday

The latest snowstorm didn’t stop New Englanders from basking in the

glow of their team ’ s fourth Super Bowl victor y To d d Pe n n e y, o f C ov e n t r y, Connecticut, was still recovering from a heady night of celebrating as he prepared for work Monday morning as a town engineer “ My v

screaming at the TV I was all in last night,” he said “It will be a lot more fun for me to snowblow this morning after the Patriots' win, than if they would have lost, that's for sure ”

Other fans recounted tense moments from the rollercoaster victor y “It was an exciting game, a nail-biter to the end You don’t get to see games like that ver y often,” said George Vemis, as he cleared the sidewalk in front of his variety store in Whitman, south of Boston

Punxsutawney Phil Predicts Six More Weeks of Winter

P U N X S U TAW N EY, Pa ( A P )

The handlers of Pennsylvania’s most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, said Monday the furr y rodent has forecast six more weeks of winter Me m b e r s o f t h e t o

Inner Circle announced the “prediction”

Monday morning

A German legend has it that if a furr y rodent sees his shadow on Feb 2, winter will last another six weeks If not, spring comes early

The forecast was also announced on Twitter, as was referenced in the official proclamation read by Jeff Lundy, the Fair Weatherman of the Inner Circle

“Forecasts abound on the Internet, but, I, Punxsutawney Phil am still your

best bet Yes, a shadow I see, you can start to Twitter, hash tag: Six more weeks of winter!”

The forecast was delivered after a steady pre-dawn rain turned to snow as temperatures dropped from the high 30s to around freezing They were forecast to keep dropping over much of the state, prompting the state Department of Transportation to lower the speed limit to 45 mph for many interstate highways which were already wet and expected to freeze or be covered with snow as the day wore on

The rain kept some revelers away, with state police estimating the crowd at around 11,000, slightly smaller than in recent years when upward of 15,000 attended

Despite the German legend, Phil’s handlers don’t wait to see if he sees his shadow as he likely would not have on such an overcast day Instead, the Inner Circle decide on the forecast ahead of time and announce it on Gobbler’s Knob, a tiny hill in the town for which the groundhog is named, about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh

Records going back to 1887 show Phil has now predicted more winter 102 times while forecasting an early spring just 17 times There are no records for the remaining years

Phil's counterpart in New York City, Staten Island Chuck, delivered a conflicting message in calling for an early spring after not seeing his shadow

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Troy Sherman

Musicians who once made (and got popular through making) music that is both good and accessible have been plagued since (and maybe even before) Elvis first slathered himself with however much grease was necessary to slide his bloating decrepitude into that Vegasian white monstrosity of a performance suit post-Elvis in Memphis with the disease of time There are two paths a has-been can take once they’re past their proverbial prime: Either, A ) ceaselessly spew painfully dated facsimiles of the art that brought them into the limelight (which is bad) or B ) become deaf and/or senile to the point where adult pop or Frank Sinatra cover albums seem like a good idea (which is worse, and yes, I’m looking at you, Paul and Bob) However, there’s an almost surefire (albeit financially questionable) way for any musician to avoid this career-killing ineluctability: Just don’t get popular That’s right; obscurity is the artist’s fountain of youth Now, avoiding fame is easier said than done Mr Dylan, for example, was changing the world at a time when the youth culture desperately wanted (and, debatably, needed) the world to change His path to stardom was almost inevitable; he followed his muse straight to the charts, and cut some of the greatest songs popular music has ever seen while doing it But, after a while, Bobby started experiencing the classic couple’s dilemma He and his muse wanted different things: The former, a paycheck; the latter, immortality So alas, they began drifting (Nashville Skyline), finally split up (Self Portrait), tried to rekindle every once in a while over a cup of coffee (Desire, Blood on the Tracks), found their own ways to be happy (Saved), had a brief and questionably-fated fling (Love and Theft) and finally reached the point of culmination, one of utter mutual hatred marked by childishly

scornful attempts at offense (this current Sinatra debacle) But, I digress what I’m trying to say is that popularity tends to beget artistic idiocy

Thankfully, there is a foil to this dishearteningly common chain of events: The saga of the independent (which word is roughly interchangeable with “unpopular” or “ poor, ” and by no means “indie”) artist In this particular instance, I’m talking about Napalm Death, the Grindcore poster children/originators who just released album number 15, the deliciously rancid and bloodboilingly visceral Apex Predator Easy Meat

The trip kicks off titularly, with the funereal and almost terrifying “Apex Predator Easy Meat ” It plays like a dirge, with Gregorian Greenway (our vocalist) groaning, barking and chanting quasi-indecipherable lyrics while the band pounds out the thrash metal equivalent to a haunted house soundtrack It’s about as close as Napalm Death ever comes to Dark or Doom metal, and it’s just as crassly brilliant as anything else in their catalogue It segues (with bizarre seamlessness) into the epitomically Thrash “Smash a Single Digit,” which, at 1:26, plays like a hardcore song in more ways than just its relentless guitar bombast The succeeding track, “Metaphorically Screw You,” is no less cutting or punk, exciting with its flagrant command of “KILL KILL KILL KILL ” And so the record proceeds, through 14 wrenching, cagedanimal tracks (with such flagellating titles as “Timeless Flogging” and Copulating Snakes”)

To be sure, Napalm Death have had better showings Scum and From Enslavement to Obliteration are two of the definitive recordings, in any genre, of the late 80s, and are likely not to be surpassed by their creators That said, Apex

Predator is everything one could want in a metal record: It’s angry, vaguely political, spasmodic and comparatively experimental and its style fluctuates the perfect amount between a number of various metal and fringe-metal styles Had this record come out in 1987, it would’ve been groundbreaking, and even though it did come out in 2015, it’s a fantastic listen (at least for anybody who is inclined towards aural masochism and paroxysmal musical experiences) But, Apex Predator isn’t great just because it sounds great; it’s great because it shows us a band who, 30 years ago, defined a genre, and now, in 2015, show no signs of wear or age Napalm Death is as relevant now as they were in 1987, which is proof of their staying power No, they’re not going to make gobs of money; but, I’d bet that they’re going to continue making gobs of sonic satanic delight until they’re too old and grey to bang their heads any more, and that is the beauty of unpopular music like this When Napalm Death lament on “How the Years Condemn,” that’s an example of them transferring their once-youthful angst and scorn into metaphysically contemplative (albeit ineloquent and bestial) metallic philosophy; That’s progression The years condemn the members of Napalm Death to an imminent doom, after which their musical body will be their only lasting remnant, an echo of themselves in time capable of speaking an eternal, hateful truth too anyone down the road who’s willing or able to listen; the years condemn Bob Dylan to Frank Sinatra cover albums

F a n c l u b ’ s F i r s t : I n d i e - P u n k a t t h e B e a r C l u b

BY HADIYAH CHOWDHURY Sun Staff Writer

Fanclub’s first show of the semester did not have a very enthusiastic start Modern Hut, a singer-songwriter from New York, opened the show with his dry, apathetic and slightly flat voice Even though I thought I would not enjoy his set, some of his lyrics were surprisingly beautiful, especially when combined with his dry guitar picking I felt that I would have adored Modern Hut if only he seemed a bit more interested in his music and what he was singing about He sang about American apathy and some of my favorite lines of his were, “Sometimes I think I was born without a taste for life,” “When I’m not on drugs I’m just plain bored” and “I don’t wanna get adjusted to this world ” All of his lyrics defined his music; the dryness of his lyrics was perfectly expressed in his guitar playing I certainly understand why some may enjoy listening to Modern Hut, but I did not feel that it was a very energetic way to open a show I felt de-energized after his performance, but I also felt pensive While Modern Hut’s croaky voice may not have been what I wanted to hear, I felt that it was something everyone should hear, if only to understand the apathy that is all too prevalent in American culture

The Sea Life, an indie punk band from Washington, D C , played their set after Modern Hut I am not very familiar with the D C punk scene, but was told that The Sea Life very much embodied its feel I could not make out a single lyric, but there was something in their sound that I very much enjoyed While The Sea Life’s instrumentation was very unorganized and chaotic, I somehow felt safe in the knowledge that they knew what they were doing and how to energize their audience There is something distinctly beautiful about listening to music that you normally would not and being able to

feel it in your soul As my body moved to The Sea Life, I felt that their exquisite chaos was admirable, and I knew I would never be able to replicate it So perhaps I did not understand any of the lyrics, but something about The Sea Life spoke to me I think dissonance is perhaps more powerful than I had previously thought

The next band, Pinegrove, was from northern New Jersey and was absolutely my favorite band of the night They con-

I honestly cannot think of a better way to describe Pinegrove They just create really beautiful music, and if there’s anything you should check out from last night, it’s definitely Pinegrove They sing about life, love and loss while creating truly beautiful soundscapes Really, what more could anyone ask for?

sisted of a lead singer, bassist and drummer The lead singer’s voice was both sensitive and powerful Pinegrove’s sound is extremely difficult to place; it lies somewhere between punk, rock and indie-alternative They played a song they had only played once before for an audience, and while they did mess up a bit at the beginning, they held it together enough to finish it A lot of Pinegrove’s soundscape consists of decaying guitar imagery, which was absolutely gorgeous It may seem strange to describe a punk-rock band’s sound as gorgeous, but

And finally, to end the show, a band from New York, What Moon Things played a set At this point, the energy was quite high since Pinegrove had just finished playing Unfortunately, I felt that What Moon Things deflated most of the rest of the energy in the room They played in the dark, and while they did build a lot of tension into their songs, there was never really a release In the end, I left the show feeling rather stressed and confused due to the unorganized nature of their content The punk band just did not really have it together They could not gauge their audience’s energy level or reactions and I felt that they did not know how to end each song Either it ended abruptly and I was not completely aware of what had happened or it seemed to go on forever Their last song was so long it was painful I was quite disappointed with What Moon Things, though I do feel like they have a lot of potential In order to become more cohesive, I just think they need to understand their audiences’ attention span and be able to better gauge their audiences’ energy level

In the end, I really enjoyed the show, even though some bands were undoubtedly more put together than others I feel that if the show had been opened by someone more energizing, the entire ambiance would have felt different Ultimately, the show was a success, but it started and ended on a rather melancholy note In any case, I am really looking forward to Fanclub’s future shows this semester!

Why Selma Is Important to the Movement

The civil rights biopic Selma starts with a shot of Dr Martin Luther King, Jr (David Oyelowo) and his wife Coretta Scott King (Carmen Ejogo) in a lavish hotel room; she is attempting to straighten his tie, and he has a look of anxious sever-

ity on his face We then flash to a gaggle of girls and boys in their Sunday best, pink dresses bouncing, bowties crisp and straight At this point, you might be able to guess where we are Birmingham, Alabama A little girl starts to say something, and, as if on cue, a horrendous burst of fire engulfs her and the others, killing them immediately

This is 1965, but it looks suspiciously like 2014, save for the clothing An act of terror has seized the black community, and it’s only slightly more pronounced than today The comparisons to Ferguson, Missouri are obvious, with the John Legend hit “Glory” playing during the end credits, and several brutal shots of unarmed black people getting beaten in broad daylight by armed white citizen militias and state troopers Does this call to mind the tear gas fired on unarmed protestors during the Ferguson protests this summer and fall? Does this call to mind the police brutality caught on tape by University of California at Berkeley students at an action protesting the deaths of Mike Brown, Eric Garner and Tamir Rice in December?

So, why is Selma important? Because many people choose not to see this side of the story It is much easier, as a white person enjoying the privileges of our racially hierarchical system, to think that the Civil Rights Movement solved all problems pertinent to black people It is much easier to assume that the deaths of Mike Brown and Eric Garner were brought on by their own contentious nature It is much easier to assume there is no corruption in the law enforcement institutions we so value today What Selma does is set up a clever parallel between actions of protesters then and protestors now, without even showing footage from our decade

That’s why Selma’ s snub at the Oscars hurts (Oyelowo did not even get nominated for his portrayal of Dr King, nor did and director Ava DuVernay) It is a film that breaks barriers in the fact that it portrays black people as leaders, not slaves or subservient to white people Oyelowo, in an outside inter view by Mediaite, explains that this movie marks one of the first times a black story is not told through the eyes of a white person Selma is also the only film featuring black actors in prominent roles that made it to the Oscars, a telling detail of an industry that devalues black narratives and actors

That’s not to say there aren ’ t some things Selma could have done better the film lauds Dr King as

the face of the movement, with many scenes depicting his impassioned speeches and talks with President Lyndon B Johnson, whereas Malcolm X an equally important part of the black radical movement is barely given a cameo Additionally, female leaders in the Civil R i g h t s Movement are rarely mentioned, unless in relation to their male c o u n t e r p a r t s (e g Coretta Scott King)

But Selma stands as an important force in depicting the truth of the movement it wasn ’ t perfect, but it was filled with brutality, grit, determination, and most of all, an unwavering hope that we can still see in the movement today

These are some pretty shocking statistics at least they shocked me And then I star ted to think about how many living scientists I

saying nothing at all to the media Un d e r t h e s e c o n d i t i o n s , Ly n c h repor ted to the league-mandated Super Bowl media day (several days before the Big Game) and sat for h i s m a n d a t o r y, l e a g u e - m i n i m u m five minutes of repor ter questioning, responding to all queries: “I’m just here so I won ’ t get fined ” Enough has been said about the disingenuousness of a tax-exempt ste ward of a multi-billion dollar industr y forcing a man to speak to repor ters whilst it does a poor job of protecting the long-term health of its players’ heads and its players’ family members, so I’ll steer clear T h e r e a c t i o n s o f t h e r e p o r t e r s attempting to elicit a meaning ful response from Lynch are what I w a n t t o f o c u s o n W h i l e s o m e repor ters displayed amused indulgence with their questions, others questioned Lynch repeatedly One asked three questions in succession, all variations on the theme of “why won ’ t you talk to us?” and another fr ustratedly tried to pr y Lynch with a question about his foundation for kids The answer to all modes of questioning? “I’m just here so I won ’ t get fined ”

In response to Lynch’s media day, the Pro Football Writers of America issued a strongly worded statement saying, “several of our l o n g - s t a n d i n g a n d h i g h - p r o f i l e m e m b e r s w e r e a p p a l l e d b y M r Lynch’s conduct” and “ we find the

case of a man, whose job is to ram his head repeatedly into other men for the enter tainment of thousands and the accumulation of billions of dollars, who simply doesn’t want to be bound by a vulturous governing body’s effor ts to make him speak w h e n h e d o e s n o t w a n t t o Fur thermore, the simple fact that the PFWA even exists with the mission statement to be the “official voice of pro football writers” seems ridiculous to me Anyone who has ever seen the oft-criticized televis i o n p r o g r a m , F i r s t Ta k e , w i t h Stephen A Smith and Skip Bayless knows that established spor ts writers lack no avenue for expression by the First Amendment and require no one to advocate for them

Another recent example of the self-seriousness of spor ts journalism lies with the purpor ted spor ts scand a l o f t h e

n t u r y : D e f l a t

g a t e After the Patriot’s walloping of the Colts by a margin of 45-7 in the recent AFC Championship, ne ws came out that 11 of the 12 footballs used by the Patriots in the first half were deflated under league limits, something that would apparently give them a competitive advantage Spor ts journalists had a field day with this scandal, affixing the allt o o - c o m m o n s u f f i x “ - g a t e ” a n d tying it to a 2007 Patriots taping of Ne w York Jets play signals I’m really not in the position to judge whether or not the Patriots deflated t h e s e f o o t b a l l s , but I am here to p a s s j u d g m e n t on whether this t r

sequiturs In November, the NFL actually fined Lynch $100,000 for

statement that by the league ‘Players are required to par ticipate and he par ticipated’ to be an affront to our membership ” To me, it seems like the PFWA is blowing this entire scenario way out of prop o r t i o n T h e u s e o f t h e w o r d s “affront” and “appalled” imply that Ly n c h h a s p e r s o n a l l y a n d e g r egiously offended these “long-standi n g a n d h i g h - p r o f i l e m e m b e r s ” w h o , c o u n t e r i n t u i t i v e l y f o r s e l fdescribed journalists, seem to be fairly thin-skinned

One could argue that Lynch’s r e f u s a l t o r e s p o n d i n f r i n g e s o n these journalists’ ability to establish a complete narrative But Lynch’s case has, quite frankly, much lower stakes than other notable NFL stor ylines from this year It’s not the case of a man who assaulted his then-fiance (complete with ensuing likely league cover up), or another of a man who beat his 4-year-old child with a tree branch It’s the

i o n stands among a sitting President lying about conspiracy, intimidation and abuses of power It doesn’t

The fact that this non-stor y has sur vived two weeks of the ne ws cycle when we really should be

(ok, I agree, that one is too boring) is simply beyond me I understand the impor tance of the entertainment industr y, but when only 34 percent of Americans can name a living scientist, that’s a problem

Though the awarding of Nobel Pr i z e s w i l l n

biggest television event of the year, I believe that there needs to be a concer ted effor t into improving how we repor t on things and what we repor t on Until then, we’ll be worried about who deflated 11 footballs instead of how to make the world a better place

Although the Engineers chipped into Cornell’s lead early in the second period on a goal by forward Ali Svoboda, Cornell retaliated with three more goals in the second period to take the lead by a 6-1 tally Freshman wing Morgan McKim collected her first collegiate goal in the third period when she whipped a backhander into the net

Despite the four-point weekend, Jenner said the team needs to continue to work hard for these last three weeks of regular season to gain a home-ice advantage during the playoffs

“I think we definitely feel confident in our play this weekend, but we know it will get tougher from here on out, ” Jenner said “It’s going to be a tight race for both the Ivy [League] title and the ECAC regular season We want to do all we can in this last stretch to secure home ice for the playoffs and put ourselves in a good position ”

As the Red prepares to face Colgate at home on Tuesday, Jenner expects the game to be physical and intense because there is a lot on the line

“They play a tough, physical game and we need to be ready to compete for all 60 minutes,” Jenner said “It’s a must-win [game] if we want to guarantee ourselves home ice [throughout the postseason] ”

Sweep Weekend Games Against Union,

By DANIELLE LETOURNEAU Sun Staff Writer

Lynah Rink felt electric when Cornell (12-7-3, 10-3-2 ECAC) beat up on Union (4-19-4, 1-13-1 ECAC) and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (5-19-4, 3-12-1 ECAC) in two h i g h - s c o r i n g games this weekend The Red beat the Dutchmen and the Engineers, 8-2, and, 7-1, respectively Cornell and Union played the “Do It For Daron” game on Friday afternoon raising money for mental health initiatives The matchup started with a touching ceremonial puck drop by DIFD co-founder Stephanie Richardson

Saulnier ripped a wrister top shelf with 6:39 left in the first period for Cornell’s first goal Just four minutes later, Fulton doubled Cornell’s lead with a goal of her own Union, however, quickly retaliated 30 seconds later to make the score 2-1

Just a minute into the second period, Jenner blasted the puck into the net from the left circle for her first goal of the game At the 15:53 mark, the Red squashed the Dutchmen’s defense, scoring four goals in four minutes to take a 71 lead

Each team scored a goal in the final period for the 8-2 final score

The Red rolled up its sleeves and got straight to business once the puck dropped Senior for wards Brianne Jenner, Emily Fulton and Jillian Saulnier, who returned to the Red after missing the previous weeks’ games, played a hand in six of Cornell’s eight goals

Fulton said she believes the matchups this weekend proved more successful because the team was back to full strength This, subsequently, improved the team ’ s accuracy in all facets of the game, Jenner said “We had a short bench in the past few games, some players were out with injury and our team caught a bit of the flu,” Fulton said “I think focusing on the small things helped to regain focus When you play some of the best teams in the league and NCAA, the smallest mistakes during the game can cost you ” Jenner said she was pleased with the team ’ s ability to create and take advantage of offensive opportunities

“I thought we were great at possessing the puck this weekend, making the other teams play in their own zone a lot,” Jenner said “We wore down their D and we were able to capitalize

The Red dominated RPI Saturday afternoon en route to its 7-1 victory This win tied Cornell with Clarkson and St Lawrence for third-place in the ECAC with 22 points Cornell jump-started the game with two goals in the opening four minutes

Saulnier picked up a rebound and poked the puck into the net to score her eighth goal of the season 2:21 into the period Jenner then scored an amazing shorthanded goal after faking out RPI’s sophom o re d e f e n d e r Ha n n a h Be h o
