Pavlini was playing for the St. Lawrence club team and spent last season in the EHL. • No. 5/6 Cornell is the last unbeaten team in Division I at 6-0-0 and earned four first- place votes in the polls this week. Alex McCrea helped keep the Big Red unbeaten with the game-winning goal against Harvard on Saturday with 1.4 seconds remaining. Goal- tender Matthew Galajda is the reigning ECAC Hockey Goaltender of the Week. • No. 19 Colgate is unbeaten in its last seven games (4-0-3) and is coming off a weekend sweep of Harvard and Dartmouth with a pair of one-goal wins, 2-1 and 3-2 respectively.
