Like Cornell, Northeastern has been re-examining its academic structure in the wake of economic problems. Today, they took a major step in restructuring the University, converting two colleges into three.
Cornell’s 2008-09 season came to an end last night as the Red fell 4-1 to the upstart No. 4-seeded Bemidji St. Beavers in the finals of the Midwest regional of the NCAA Tournament. Cornell dictated the style of play early and got out to a 1-0 lead but ultimately the Beavers’ quick skaters and offensive prowess overwhelmed the Red’s defense, vaulting Bemidji St. to a berth in the 2009 Frozen Four.
