Union Women Finally Win an ECAC Game

As Cornell hockey fans we tend to complain a lot when the team struggles a bit, but it's important to keep things in perspective. Forget about going a weekend or two without winning a game; the Union women's hockey team went almost six years without winning an ECAC game:

The Union women's hockey team entered Saturday's game at Brown winless in 119 straight Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference games.

Freshman goalie Alana Marcinko stopped all 47 shots that came her way to lead Union to a 3-0 win against the Bears to snap the near six-year drought.

The victory is the Dutchwomen's second ever in ECAC play, their first coming on Feb. 28, 2004, against Cornell, 3-1.

At least Cornell no longer has the distinction of being the last ECAC team to lose to Union.

Speaking of, the Big Red women have fallen out of the top 10 in the polls, but broke a three-game losing streak with a tie and a win this weekend.
