ITHACA -- The Cornell women's hockey team will be without
its best player from a season ago, and to kick things off, the Big
Red won't get a break.
Cornell opens the 2009-10 season with a two-game road series
Friday against last year's Division I national runner-up,
Mercyhurst. The Lakers are also the top-ranked team in the latest
U.S. College Hockey Online poll.
Rebecca Johnston, who had a team-leading 25 goals and 45 points
last season as a sophomore, and prized recruit Brianne Jenner will
miss the entire season because they'll be playing for Team Canada
at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. Neither is enrolled in classes
this scholastic year, meaning Johnston will have two years of
eligibility remaining, and Jenner four.
