ITHACA, NY - Despite a 4-1 setback at Colgate last night, No. 20/RV Union (15-11-5, 8-7-4 ECAC Hockey) heads into Cornell (10-13-3, 6-10-3 ECAC Hockey) in fourth place in ECAC Hockey and position to clinch a first round bye in the ECAC Hockey Tournament with three games remaining in the regular season. The Dutchmen have lost three straight road games in league play, and will look to snap that streak tonight at Lynah Rink.

Union is looking for its first win over Cornell since the 2010-11 season, a 4-0 win on Feb. 11, 2011 at Messa Rink.
