One day after scoring nine goals against Yale, the Cornell women's hockey team repeated the feat against ECAC Hockey and Ivy League rival Brown on Saturday afternoon.
The Big Red (3-0, 3-0 ECAC Hockey) put up two goals in the first period, four in the second and three in the third to topple the visiting Bears (1-1-1, 0-1-1) 9-0.
Freshman Jillian Saulnier got things started with her sixth goal of the season 9:21 into the game, and Chelsea Karpenko followed with two goals of her own. Not to be outdone, Saulnier got her own second goal 13 minutes into the second, and the rout was on.
Saulnier's second goal started a frantic three-goals-in-one-minute stretch for the Big Red, as Karpenko notched her third goal of the game 35 seconds after Saulnier's second, and freshman Monika Leck scored just 25 seconds later to make the game 6-0 heading into the final period.
Freshman Emily Fulton scored her first career goal 103 seconds into the third period, and Lauriane Rougeau got her second of the year at the midway point of the period. Catherine White, who had two goals on Friday night, closed out the Big Red scoring with only 32 seconds remaining.
Cornell has now started ECAC Hockey play at 3-0 for the third year in a row. The Big Red put up 49 shots Saturday, and that lofty number still managed to be its lowest of the season.
At the end of the game, Cornell's players totaled 23 points. Brianne Jenner and Hayiegh Cudmore tallied three assists each, and White had two assists to go with her goal.
On the defensive side, goalkeeper Lauren Slebodnick had 10 saves and a shutout in her first action of the season, giving usual starter Amanda Mazzotta a rest. Starting defenseman Amanda Young had a stellar +5 on the day, and Rougeau had three points to her name.
Cornell doesn't get much of a rest before its next game, a Tuesday-night scrum with local rival Syracuse at Lynah Rink. Faceoff is set for 7 p.m.
