Johnston Reaches Milestone as Cornell Drops Yale
NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Junior Rebecca
Johnston scored three goals while Hayley
Hughes and Amanda
Young both tallied one as the Cornell women's hockey team
scored a 5-0 victory at Yale on Friday night. The three goals for
Johnston give her 100 points for her career, the second Big Red
player to reach that milestone this season.
Lauren
Slebodnick, making her first career start, made 23 saves
for the shutout victory for the Big Red. Brianne
Jenner and Xandra
Hompe both chipped in with a pair of assists, while
Hughes and Olivia
Cook both added one assist. Cornell finished the night
scoreless in two power plays, while not being whistled for a
penalty on the night. Yale netminder Jackie Snikeris made 29 saves
in the loss for the Bulldogs.
After a scoreless first period, Johnston got the Big Red on the
board with her first goal of the night just 3:04 into the second
period, with Jenner and Hompe collecting assists. Hughes made the
score 2-0 at the 9:00 mark of the period with her goal, assisted by
Cook, while Johnston tacked on her second at the 14:53 mark of the
period.
In the third, Young got on the board at the 6:40 mark with an
unassisted goal, and Johnston completed her hat trick with her
third goal at the 9:43 mark of the period, with Johnston and Hompe
both picking up assists.
Cornell returns to action on Saturday when it takes on Brown in a
4 p.m. contest at Meehan Auditorium in Providence, R.I.
