Cornell opened their ECAC schedule the following game against Rensselaer and while the team as a whole played inconsistently throughout the game , Dryden was particularly notable for how calm and collected he was in goal , holding the Engineers to two goals in Cornell 's 7 – 2 victory . For their third game Cornell took on defending ECAC champion and national runner-up Clarkson . With the Walker Arena filled to capacity Cornell battled the Golden Knights in a very close game that was tied three separate times . Clarkson opened the scoring with a power play marker , putting Cornell down on the scoresheet for the first time all season . The Big Red failed to score on a two-man advantage but continued to put pressure on Clarkson 's goal and eventually potted two quick goals in the later half of the first period . Clarkson knotted the score off of a deflection before the frame was over and the two teams went into the first intermission tied at two-all . Cornell 's attack kept the puck in Clarkson 's end for much of the next two periods but Clarkson 's John Miller held the fort and sent the two teams into overtime . While the boisterous crowd continued to root on the Knights it was Cornell 's Harry Orr who netted the game-winner at 4:31
