PRINCETON (11/18/11) - Senior goalie Rachel Weber stopped a
season-high 36 shots but it was not enough as No. 2 Cornell (6-1,
6-1 ECAC) escaped Baker Rink with a 3-1 victory over Princeton
(4-4-1, 3-3-1 ECAC), Friday, Nov. 18.
Weber allowed two goals in just under 59 minutes of action, getting
pulled for the final minute as the Tigers brought in an extra
player in an attempt to tie the game. Cornell was able to thwart
Princeton's attack and score the empty net goal with 15 seconds
remaining to put the contest out of reach.
Weber's saves total was her highest since she tallied a career-best
41 against Clarkson on Jan. 29, 2011.
Princeton gave the No. 3 ranked Big Red all it could handle.
Although the Big Red outshot its opponent, 39-18, Weber's
performance kept her team in the game throughout the entire 60
minutes.
After a scoreless opening period, the two teams traded goals during
a 10-minute stretch in the second. Cornell got on the scoreboard
first at the 1:42 mark as Emily Fulton was able to get the puck
past Weber. But Princeton bounced back as senior Danielle DiCesare
netted the equalizer at the 10:12 mark off an assist from Ali
Pankowski. For DiCesare, the score was her first of the year.
Unfortunately for the Tigers, the Big Red was able to score the
gamewinner two minutes later when Catherine White and Laura Fortino
assisted Alyssa Gagliardi on the goal. Cornell's 2-1 lead held
until the final minute of the contest, when the road team tallied
the empty net score.
The Tigers return to action tomorrow, Nov. 19, with a home match
against Colgate at 4 p.m.
