Cornell Gets Top-10 Win at Notre Dame
Freshman Chayse Ierlan made 17 saves, including four in the final 2:09, to lead No. 9 Cornell to an 11-9 win over No. 10 Notre Dame at Arlotta Stadium.
Ierlan, who also made 17 saves in a loss at Syracuse on Tuesday, proved to be the difference in a back-and-forth game that featured six ties. Clarke Petterson and Cooper Telesco scored three goals apiece for the Big Red (8-4, 2-2 Ivy League), making their first trip to South Bend since 1991.
Cornell trailed 6-5 in the third quarter before Telesco opened up a five-goal run to turn the one-goal deficit into a 10-6 advantage.
Notre Dame (6-5, 1-2 ACC) has alternated wins and losses since early March, a stretch that includes wins over Denver, Michigan, Syracuse and Marquette, and losses to Virginia, Ohio State, Duke and now Cornell. The Fighting Irish host North Carolina in their regular-season finale Saturday.
