Syracuse’s ice hockey matchup at Cornell tonight has been postponed due to a shelter-in-place order on the Cornell campus.

Cornell University sent a shelter-in-place alert around 2:10 p.m. on Tuesday that said local police were pursuing a man with a gun in Cayuga Heights north of campus following reports of gunfire. Around 7:15 p.m., Cornell lifted the shelter-in-place order. This comes just days after students were evacuated from campus due to a bomb threat at Cornell, as well as at other Ivy League schools. The game, which was scheduled for 7 p.m., will be attempted to be made up at a later date, per Cornell Athletics.

Syracuse (4-5-2, 3-1-0 College Hockey America) was on a two-game win streak heading into tonight’s matchup. Cornell (1-4-1, 0-3-1 CHA) notched its first tie against Brown this past Saturday.

In the 14 times the teams have played, Syracuse has only won once. The last time the pair faced was on Nov. 26, 2019, when Syracuse lost 4-1. Abby Moloughney currently leads Syracuse with six goals and six assists, and Jessica DiGirolamo recently became Syracuse’s all-time leader in goals for a defenseman with 31.



Pending no make-up game in the next week and a half, Syracuse has 12 days before its next matchup, a home game against Penn State.
