ITHACA, N.Y. -- The Princeton women's hockey
team scored three goals in a five-minute span of the third period
to break a 3-3 tie and win at Cornell 6-3 on Friday night. Senior
Christine
Foster and freshman Danielle
DiCesare each had two goals in the win.
Princeton never trailed in the game as the Tigers built up leads of
1-0 and 3-1 only to have Cornell come back to even the game twice.
DiCesare opened the scoring 8:29 into the game with her second goal
of the season from junior Melanie
Wallace, but the Tiger lead last only four minutes until Jess
Martino evened things up for Cornell.
Foster quickly countered for the Tigers and put Princeotn back
ahead less than a minute after Cornell had scored to tie the game.
DiCesare and freshman Heather
Landry assisted Foster's goal. Princeton extended its lead 2:19
into the second period when DiCesare scored on the power play from
sophomores Laura
Martindale and Sasha
Sherry.
Following that goal, momentum shifted to Cornell and the Big Red
scored five minutes to later on the power play to move within one
and again at even strength with four minutes left in the period to
deadlock the game at 3-3 entering the third period.
Tied at three, the Tigers scored three quick goals midway through
the period to pull away and defeat the Big Red. At 7:19 the Tigers
took advantage of two Cornell penalties as Sherry scored her third
goal of the season on a point shot while the Tigers skated with a
two-player advantage. Wallace and Foster closed out the scoring for
the Tigers when they found the back of the net 27 seconds apart in
the 13th minute of the stanza.
Princeton outshot Cornell 43-31, a total that included 19
power-play shots from the Tigers. Princeton was 2 for 8 with the
man advantage. Princeton senior netminder Kristen
Young made 28 saves for the win, while Jenny Niesluchowski made 37
saves in the loss.
Princeton is now 2-3 overall and 1-2 in ECAC Hockey play. The
Tigers complete the weekend tomorrow at Colgate at 4 p.m.
