ITHACA, N.Y. -- Tyler Roeszler and Nick D'Agostino scored two goals each as the Cornell men's hockey team downed Windsor, 7-0, in an exhibition contest on Friday night at Lynah Rink. Patrick Kennedy, Blake Gallagher and Dan Nicholls also added goals for the Big Red in its first action of the 2009-10 season.

Roeszler scored his first goal in the closing seconds of the first period, picking up a loose puck at the Windsor blue line and ripping a shot past Windsor goaltender Jim Watt. He added his second midway through the second period after taking a feed from John Esposito to make the score 2-0.

From there, the rout was on as Kennedy and Gallagher scored to make the score 4-0 after two periods. In the third, Nicholls scored at the 6:12 mark of the period to make the score 5-0, with D'Agostino scoring twice just a minute and a half apart, including a beautiful back-handed swat out of mid-air that sent the puck bouncing off the ice and through the legs of Watt.

Michael Garman got the start in goal for the Big Red, stopping all 20 shots he faced on the night. Watt stopped 44 shots in taking the loss, including 19 saves in the third period alone.

Cornell finished the night 1-for-5 on the power play, while Windsor was held scoreless in three opportunities with the man advantage.

Cornell returns to action on Saturday night, taking on the U.S. Under-18 National Team at 7 p.m. at Lynah Rink.
