Box Score

ALBANY, N.Y. -- The Cornell men's ice hockey team will attempt to capture the 2009-10 ECAC championship on Saturday evening after dispatching upstart Brown 3-0 on Friday afternoon at the Times Union Center. Big Red goalkeeper Ben Scrivens had 23 saves to capture the shutout as Cornell improves to 20-8-4 on the season and extends its unbeaten streak to five games. The Big Red will look for its 12th ECAC championship when it meets either St. Lawrence or Union on Saturday at xx p.m. with an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament on the line.

While Scrivens was again outstanding, John Esposito assisted Jillson Locke's game-winning gao with five minutes remaining in the second period, then tallied an insurance goal less than seven minutes into the third on a feed from Justin Krueger. Riley Nash capped off the scoring with a little more than six minutes left on a Colin Greening pass.

Cornell held a narrow 27-23 edge in shots and both teams were held scoreless on four power-play attempts.
