The Big Red women's hockey team has earned the No. 3 seed and will host Boston University in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the team learned Sunday evening.
Cornell and the Terriers will drop the puck on March 10 at Lynah Rink at a time to be determined.
After falling short on Saturday in the ECAC Hockey Championship Game against St. Lawrence, the Big Red will look to get back to its usual winning ways against the Terriers. Cornell has made two consecutive Frozen Four appearances, and a win against Boston University would make it three in a row.
Cornell and Boston University met twice during the regular season at Lynah Rink. The Terriers were ranked No. 5 in the country at the time, and the Big Red came away with 3-1 and 7-1 victories on the weekend after Thanksgiving.
Boston University and the Big Red have an NCAA history. Last season, the teams met in the Frozen Four, and the Terriers ended the Big Red's season.
The Terriers, who play in Hockey East, finished the season with a 23-13-1 record. They punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament with a double overtime victory against Providence just hours before the tournament field was announced.
This season's Frozen Four will be held at Amsoil Arena in Duluth, Minn., on March 16 and 18.
