Freshman forward Catherine White demonstrated her swift skating capabilities and a reason why she is on the radar for opposing teams – she helped in five of the six goals in this past weekend’s games against Quinnipiac and Princeton, netting two goals and three assists.

“She is going to be scary for the opposition. She’s got good skills and I think she’s a very dangerous player. Other teams are going to have to pay a lot of attention to her in order to stop her,” head coach Doug Derraugh ’91 said.

Although it’s her first year at Cornell, White is no stranger to the competitive style of Division I hockey. Growing up in Brampton, Ontario, she played for Team Ontario in the Canadian Winter Games, where she led her team to a gold medal. Wining the gold in the U18 Nationals playing for the U18 Canadian National Team, she then continued and went on to win the silver medal at the 2008 IIHF World Women’s U18 Championship.
