The final game of the weekend was Sunday morning at 8 A.M. against the Northeastern University Huskies. The squad took the early wake up call and ran with it. The line of Farr and Joyce provided all the scoring. Joyce scored 0:10 into the game on an assist from Farr. The next goal came 15 seconds later from Farr on a pass from Joyce. Their third goal was scored by Farr 2:46 into the game. The first period ended 3-0 in favor of the Red Dragons. Cortland then laid back, stopped pressuring the puck and took bad penalties. The second period saw Northeastern climb back from a 3-0 deficit to a 3-3 tie. In the third period the two teams stepped up their defense and allowed no more goals. However, a Husky power play at the end of the game called Midgen to make several mind blowing saves to preserve the 3-3 tie. Cortland's stars of the game: #1 Tommy Farr, #2 Brendan Joyce

The Cortland Red Dragons finished the weekend with a 1-0-2 record.
