ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell senior forward Liz Zorn (Churchville, N.Y.) earned the Ronald P. Lynch Senior Spirit Award Monday at the school's annual senior athletics banquet. The award is presented to the student-athletes whose leadership on and off the field models the ideals of the Big Red athletics department.
Zorn served as team captain of the 2009-10 women's ice hockey team that won the ECAC Hockey title and finished as the national runner-up. On the ice, she saw action in 121 career contests and compiled 25 goals and 30 assists for 55 points and helped Cornell turn around a program from one that went 4-23-2 as a freshman to a school-record setting 21-9-6 mark in her final campaign. She earned the team's Rookie of the Year award in 2007 and was the squad's Unsung Hero winner in 2010.
Off the ice, Zorn was actively involved in helping better the lives of children in Tompkins County. Zorn helped organize a yearly picnic and walk-a-thon to benefit the local FoodNet chapter. She has been a Big Sister for the local Cub Club program helping mentor young girls in the county. Zorn aided the Adopt-A-Family program with the Salvation Army and visited the local Boces School to talk to students about hockey and learn about their special needs. She worked with the Early Childhood Center at Cornell as an assistant teacher and was a volunteer with the Special Olympics.
