The Crimson (4-1-0) got goals from Brett Nowak and Brett Chodorow in support of Prestifilippo, whose shutout hopes were dashed by Cornell's Larry Pierce at 4:22 of the third period. Cornell was without forwards David Kozier, Tyler McNiven and David Francis, and freshman defenseman Mark McRae due to injuries.

It also played the first two minutes of the second period without freshman Shane Palahicky, who served the two-minute penalty Cornell incurred after a "fan" threw a cup of soda onto the ice. The obligatory fish flew prior to the game, as per tradition, and the mess was cleaned up with no legal action against Cornell. But after being warned that further objects on the ice would result in a Cornell penalty, somebody decided to test the referees. An angry Schafer warned that By TOM FLEISCHMAN Journal Staff ITHACA Don't congratulate Mike Schafer on another solid effort turned in by his Cornell hockey team.

That's what teams have to do if they're going to be successful." Harvard first-year coach Mark Mazzoleni admitted that his team was fortunate to get out of Ithaca with two points it was outshot, 34-14 and wouldn't have had it not been for the stellar goaltending of senior J.R.

Prestifilippo. "He played very, very well," Mazzoleni said of Prestifilippo, who made 32 saves, 15 in the third period and several in the final minute with Cornell's Ian Burt (12 saves) on the bench for an extra skater. "I think over the course of a season, those things have a way of evening themselves out," he said.

"We had great blocking on the play," Boyes said, "and geez, there it was.

Boom." I Boom, indeed. Starks' stunning 95-yard gallop up the right sideline brought the Bengals back to life, starting a 23-0 scoring run over a 10V4-minute period midway through the secofid half.

But for Buffalo State head football coach Jerry Boyes, it was easy.

It came with 3:08 to play in the third quarter of his team's electrifying 42-35 victory over Ithaca College Saturday at Coyer Field. The win not only gave his team (7-2) an NCAA playoff berth, but took one away from Ithaca (7-3). Boyes' team, down 28-19 late in the third quarter, was backed up to its own five-yard line after botching an Ithaca kickoff. Buffalo State had just given up a touchdown to go down by nine, and was faced with a third-and- Yale need to lose to Columbia and Harvard, respectively, to create a three-way tie for the championship. Ricky Rahne had another big day for Cornell, as he completed 28-of-40 passes for 320 yards and four touchdowns.

Rahne upped his season passing-yardage total to 2,466, breaking the school record of 2,255 set four years ago by Steve Joyce. "We've had a problem stopping the pass all year," Lions coach Ray Tellier said. "We struggled again today." The Lions (3-6, 1-5 Ivy League), with the quarterback tandem of Mike Glynn and Jeff McCall passing for only 86 yards, generated 225 yards on the See IVERSON, 5B By WILLIAM MOORE Special to The Journal ITHACA Cornell football coach Pete Mangurian figured sophomore placekicker Peter Iverson would be more than a little nervous as he stepped onto the field for his first field goal attempt of the season.

"I had total confidence in Iverson," Mangurian said.

And Iverson already 4-for-4 in point-after kicks on the day did as well. "I walked over and smiled at him to calm him down before the kick," Mangurian said, "but he said, 'I've got it' And he did. "It wasn't me kicking it was John," Iverson said after the Big Red's 31-29 defeat of the Lions before a crowd of 5,870 fans on "Ed Marinaro Day" at Schoellkopf Field. "He (McCombs) was with me today," added Iverson, who had one field goal attempt as a freshman. "I just wish he was here to share this win with us." The win kept Cornell's slim hopes alive for an Ivy League championship.

"At 28-19," IC senior linebacker Rich Pasquale said, "I thought we had the game." "We were looking at punting the ball back to them," Boyes said, "and giving them another short field to work with." Ninety-five yards away? For the Bengals Saturday afternoon, that might as well have been the "red zone."
