ITHACA, N.Y.-The Big Red women's hockey team out shot Robert
Morris 38-20, but the Colonials' goaltender led her team to a 2-1
win over Cornell on Saturday afternoon. The loss was the Big Red's
first of the season to move to 2-1, while Robert Morris improves to
4-4. Sophomore Hayley Hughes netted the Big Red's goal, and junior
Jenny Niesluchowski made 18 saves in net for Cornell.
Cornell dominated play early in the first period splattering the
Colonials' netminder Brianna McLaughlin with shots. Midway through
the period, freshman Chelsea Karpenko had the puck below the left
point and with a quick pass to Melanie Jue on the left side of the
net, the duo set up Hughes' goal giving the forward a wide open net
on the right side.
At 13:21 of the first, Robert Morris' Kristen Miles won the faceoff
in the Big Red's zone and Brianna Delaney scored off the pass to
tie the game.
Delaney scored her second goal of the game that proved to be the
game-winner at 4:12 of the second period. Miles and Samantha
Ullrich assisted on the goal.
Cornell pulled Niesluchowski at 18:33 of the third period in favor
of an extra attacker. Robert Morris took two penalties with time
winding off the clock, but the Big Red could not get the puck past
McLaughlin.
Robert Morris was 1-4 on the power play, while Cornell was 0-5.
The Big Red will be at home again next weekend as it opens its ECAC
Hockey season playing host to Quinnipiac and Princeton.
