HANOVER, N.H. - Senior co-captain Sarah Newnam (Clifton, Va.) tallied a career-high two goals, including the game-winner with 55 seconds remaining, as Dartmouth erased a two-goal deficit in the third period to defeat Cornell, 5-4, on Friday night.
For Dartmouth (6-1-1, 5-1-1 ECAC Hockey), Newnam tallied her two goals, with one coming on the power play, while juniors Sarah Parsons (Dover, Mass.) and Jenna Cunningham (Medicine Hat, Atla.) also connected on goals. Senior Maggie Kennedy (West Hartford, Conn.) also got in on the scoring with a shorthanded goal. Senior goaltender Carli Clemis (Taber, Alta.) earned her fifth win of the season with 24 saves, including 13 in the second period.
For Cornell (4-3-1, 2-2-1 ECAC Hockey), Chelsea Karpenko led the way with two scores, while Rebecca Johnston posted a goal and two assists. Kayla Strong was in net for the Big Red and she made 25 stops with 10 of them coming in the final frame.
It didn't take long for the Big Red to get on the board first as Johnston tallied her seventh of the season three minutes into the game. Sam Wauer fired a shot on net that Clemis couldn't handle and Johnston was right on the doorstep and hit the open net for the early 1-0 lead.
Dartmouth evened the score on the power play with 8:11 remaining in the first period with Newnam scoring her second of the season. The puck was worked around the offensive zone and it came to Newnam at the top of the point. She connected on a slap shot and it went through traffic and past Strong for the score.
In the second period, Cornell took a commanding 4-2 lead with three second period scores. Karpenko got the lead back for the Big Red, just 3:30 into the second frame. Cornell cycled the puck down low and Johnston ended up with the puck at the far post and she slid the puck over to Karpenko who didn't miss the open net.
Cunningham got the Big Green back into the game with her fourth of the season coming 10 minutes after Cornell took the lead. Sophomore Amanda Trunzo (Andover, Minn.) took a shot from the left circle that was blocked and freshman Kelly Foley (Boston, Mass.) collected the puck and went behind the net. She then found an open Cunningham and she beat Strong to tie the game at 2-2.
Cornell answered right back to gain the lead at 3-2. With just over five minutes to play, Stephanie Holmes scored her third of the season with assists going to Liz Zorn and Hayley Hues.
Karpenko struck again for the Big Red with 3:33 left in the period to increase the lead to 4-2. Johnston fired a shot from the point that was redirected off of Karpenko's skate and past Clemis for the score.
Dartmouth took control midway through the final period and it all started with a shorthanded goal from Kennedy. Sophomore Alyssa Boehm (Watertown, Conn.) chipped the puck up the boards in the defensive end and it found Kennedy streaking at the red line and she went in all alone on Strong. She went to the center of the circle and beat Strong to the glove side.
Parons tallied her first of the night two minutes later to tie the score at 4-4. She snuck it inside the right post with the assist going to Kennedy.
After Dartmouth had hit the post a couple of times down the stretch, the pressure paid off as Newnam tallied her second of the night and third of the season. Trunzo skated out of traffic and found an open Newnam at the point. She connected on a slap shot that snuck over the right pad of Strong to win it for the Big Green.
Dartmouth will be back in action tomorrow afternoon as Colgate comes to Hanover for a 4 p.m. start at Thompson Arena.
