The next year Stanowski led the Big Red defense in points , pushing the team even higher in the ECAC standings . With sophomore Ken Dryden around to clean up any defensive mistakes , Cornell reduced their goals allowed even further , surrendering 46 goals in 29 games ( 1.59 goals per game ) and again set a team record for wins with 27 . Because the eligibility issue had been resolved Stanowski was able to continued his offensive pace in the 1967 NCAA Tournament , Cornell 's first ever appearance , scoring the only goal in the team 's 1 – 0 semifinal win over North Dakota then recorded three points , including the game-winner , in their 4 – 1 triumph in the National title game . Stanowski was named the Tournament Most Outstanding Player for contributing on 4 of his team 's five goals , only the second defenseman to win the award . In his senior season Stanowski served as team captain and led the Big Red to a second ECAC title but the team was unable to get past the Fighting Sioux in the semifinal a second time and finished 3rd in 1968 . Skip finished with 24 goals and 73 points in his three seasons with the Big Red . After graduating from Cornell Stanowski briefly played for the Muskegon Mohawks before retiring as a player in 1970
