No. 7 Cornell women close out 2024 with win at RIT; Minnesota-Duluth, LIU men claim NYE wins - CHS 12-31-24

It’s the #CollegeHockey Scoreboard Show for December 31, 2024. Happy New Year folks. Three games, two men, one on the women’s side. You know the deal by now, we’re rolling into 2025 with JUST. THE. SCORES. 

On the women’s side, Lily Delianedis scored her sixth of the season and McKenna Van Gelder scored her fifth of the year as No. 7 Cornell improved to 9-3-2 with a 5-1 win over host RIT.

Carter Rapalje scored twice to give him eight goals on the season as LIU topped Holy Cross 3-1 in a New Year's Eve matinée on Long Island. 

Four different players scored including Jason Shaugabay's sixth of the year as Minnesota-Duluth snapped a four-game skid with a 4-2 win against host Bemidji State. This splits the home-and-home series with the Minnesota schools that began 86 days ago.

That’s … not quite it. It’s not college, but why not, here’s what happened at the World Juniors.

In Group A, The U.S. beat Canada 4-1 with goals scored by Boston College’s Ryan Leonard, Boston University’s Cole Eiserman and Cole Hutson and Notre Dame’s Danny Nelson. 

Finland beat Latvia 3-0, while in Group B, Switzerland beat Kazakhstan 3-1 and Sweden beat Czechia 4-2. 

That’s all I’ve got for World Juniors, this is a college show (for now).
