ITHACA, N.Y. -- Junior Catherine White scored a pair of goals to
push the Cornell women's hockey team to a 3-0 victory over Clarkson
on Saturday afternoon at Lynah Rink. The win, played in front of a
Cornell women's hockey record crowd of 2,326, sent the top-ranked
Big Red to 13-1 on the year and 8-0 in ECAC Hockey
action.
Brianne Jenner added a goal for the Big Red, while Chelsea
Karpenko, Laura Fortino, Rebecca Johnston, Lauriane Rougeau and
Olivia Cook each tallied an assist. Amanda Mazzotta picked up her
fourth shutout of the year with 22 saves in goal. Cornell finished
the night 1-for-4 on the power play while holding Clarkson
scoreless in five man-advantage opportunities.
Clarkson goaltender Erica Howe stopped 27 shots in the losing
effort for the Golden Knights (6-10-3, 3-3-1 ECAC Hockey).
Clarkson came out early, posting an 11-5 edge in shots during the
first period, though Cornell had the better of chances in the
opening 20 minutes, including Johnston ripping a shot from the slot
that rang off the cross bar. Cornell even had a late chance, but
the buzzer sounded to end the period before Fortino's shot from the
bottom of the circle to Howe's left went into the net.
In the second, White got the Big Red on the scoreboard with the
eventual game-winner, as she and Karpenko broke out of the Cornell
zone on a 2-on-1 on breakaway, with White beating Dahm for the
goal. She then added to the margin later in the period, when, with
Cornell on a power play, Fortino's shot was blocked by the Clarkson
defense, with the rebound coming off to a wide-open White, who
shoveled the puck into the net.
When it appeared as though Cornell would take the 2-0 lead into
the second period, Johnston and Cook started a breakaway that
turned into Jenner scoring with three seconds left on the clock in
the period, concluding the scoring for the contest.
The game served as a benefit for the Big Red and the United Way of
Tompkins County, with $1 for each person in attendance being
donated to the organization.
Cornell is now off for nearly five full weeks, returning to action
on Jan. 7 with a contest at Yale in New Haven, Conn.
