The women’s team had its six-game winning streak snapped in a 13-4 loss to Dartmouth in 2004. The Big Green scored four straight goals at the start of the second half, three of them coming on free-position chances to take command of the game. Monica Joines broke the SU scoring drought when she found the back of the cage at 47:53, but the Big Green scored the final four goals of the game to produce the final margin. Leigh-Ann Zimmer scored two goals to lead the Orange.
The men’s squad lost to Cornell, 19-6, on this date in 1987. The two teams would meet again in the semifinals of the NCAA Tournament. The Big Red came out on top in that contest, 18-15.
In addition, the Boy Power Dinner took place in the Dome on this date in 1990.
More than 23.5 million people have passed through the revolving doors of the Carrier Dome since the building’s first public event on September 20, 1980. Throughout the 2005-06 SU athletics seasons the University will celebrate the first 25 years of the Loud House.
In the first 25 years of the Dome, more than 1,740 events were staged, including collegiate, professional and high school athletics events, University commencement, concerts, a circus, and community events. These activities are chronicled in the more than 100 photographs that are currently in the concourse of the Dome. Fans who attend events in the Dome can re-live the memories with these photos.
