ITHACA, N.Y. - A goal by Lauriane Rougeau with less than eight
minutes to play gave the Big Red women's ice hockey team a 2-1
victory over Niagara this evening at Lynah Rink. With the victory,

In addition to Rougeau's goal, the Big Red received a goal from Liz

The Big Red completely dominated the first half of action,
outshooting Niagara 12-3. Cornell's first goal came off the stick
of Zorn, who scored from the left side of the net by redirecting a
shot from Fortino. White initially set up the play and was also
credited with an assist. Niagara (5-6-4) turned up the
offensive pressure and up got back into the game with goal by
Jacqueline Spring, whose shot hit Mazzotta's pads and trickled over
the goal line with just over 10 minutes to play in the period.
Jenna Hendrikx and Alison Malty were credited with assists.
The final period was a fairly even one, with both teams having
opportunities to score, but Mazzotta turned away a breakaway by
Mary McKinnon with just over 10 minutes to play in the contest to
keep it a 1-1 game and set up Rougeau's game-winner. Ogilvie and
