Cornell dominated Middlebury in the first match but 2-time defending champion Colgate continued their undefeated tournament run with a 4–1 victory in the semifinal.

Cornell's offense recovered in the third place match, firing 8 more goals into the net to defeat new entry New Hampshire to give themselves their best finish in three years.

The conditions on Beebe Lake were poor but the Big Red soldiered on, trying to get as much practice in before their rematch with Colgate.

However, after the Big Red found themselves playing 4 on 6, the Raiders scored twice to end the middle frame down by just one goal and then put up three more unanswered in the third to win the match.

[4] Cornell played a match in the middle of the following week against a weak Union squad and then headed to West Point for their final game of the season.
