Cornell Falls at Providence
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Providence College jumped out to a 3-1
first-period lead and went on to pick up a 6-3 victory over the
Cornell women's hockey team on Saturday afternoon at Schneider
Arena in Providence, R.I. Kendice Ogilvie had a goal and an assist
to lead the Big Red offense on the afternoon.
Cornell, which dressed only 12 skaters due to injuries and players
playing internationally, also got goals from Hayley Hughes and
Chelsea Karpenko, while Melanie Jue, Jess Martino and Liz Zorn each
added an assist. Katie Wilson, seeing her first action of the
season, made 21 saves in taking the loss. Cornell finished the game
1-for-3 on the power play and was a perfect 4-for-4 in killing
penalties.
Providence got on the board with a pair of goals midway through the
first period before Karpenko drew the Big Red to within one on a
power play goal, with Jue collecting the assist. Providence's
Jessica Vella put the Friars back up by two with two minutes to
play in the period as the Friars went to the locker room ahead,
3-1.
In the second period, Providence picked up another two goals to
make the score 5-1 before Hughes tallied her fourth goal of the
season with a minute and a half to play in the period. Providence's
Abby Gauthier put the Friars back up by four, 6-2, with her
unassisted goal three minutes into the third period before Ogilvie
scored the game's final goal with 12 minutes to play in the
contest, with Martino picking up the assist.
Providence's Genevieve Lacasse stopped 22 shots in the win for the
Friars, who improve to 7-7-8 on the year. Cornell falls to 8-6-2
with the loss.
The two teams will meet again on Sunday in a 2 p.m. contest at
Schneider Arena in Providence, Cornell's final non-conference
contest of the season.
