#3 NU’s dream season comes to an heartbreaking end losing 3-2 in overtime to Cornell in the Quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament at Matthews Arena.
NU trailed 2-0 before rallying to tie the game at 2 in the 3rd period.
Cornell ended the game on a breakaway goal in OT to advance to the Women’s Frozen Four. So NU wins the HE title on a breakaway goal and lose in the same way a week later.
NU Freshman sensation Alina Mueller (21 goals, 30 assists) missed the game with a broken wrist suffered in the HE Championship game.
NU finished the season 27-4 with 3 ties.
Game winning goal actually made ESPN SportsCenters’ Top 10. Ouch!
