Cornell Women’s Hockey Puts Up INSANE Stat Line in OT Win

Friday night, Cornell and Rensselaer squared off on the ice in an ECAC tournament matchup. What looked to be a regular Friday night hockey game turned out to produce the most ridiculous box score I’ve ever seen.

Cornell outshot RPI 128-14. Yes, you read that right, it’s not a typo. 128 TOTAL SHOTS. That’s the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. Only 65 were on goal, but even that is unreal. I don’t even put up 128 shots on rookie mode with offsides turned off in NHL 07. To put it in perspective, the #1 team in men’s hockey only put up 26 shots last night. I wish I could see the total time on attack for both teams. I can only imagine it would say “a lot to a little.”

What’s almost crazier than the total shots is that this game ended 2-1….in OVERTIME. Cornell had 65 shots on goal and only one sounded the horn in regulation? Lovisa Selander , the goaltender for RPI, needs to be signed to an NHL contract immediately after tallying 63 saves last night. That girl has to be better than whoever the Ottawa Senators are putting between the pipes.

I hate to show you the goal Selander gave up to lose, but no one has the time to make a video of 63 saves.

Cornell’s website says this is their second straight game with 60 or more shots. Is this a regular thing in women’s hockey? If so, I’m a fan for life. If you can promise me I’m going to see one team put up numbers that don’t even happen in video games, then I’m buying season tickets and never missing a game for the rest of my life. One can only hope that the rest of this series produced similar results.
