The women’s hockey team split a road weekend series against the Niagara Purple Eagles this weekend, dropping Friday night’s contest, 4-3, in overtime but rebounding with a 6-2 victory Saturday afternoon.
Cornell (3-3, 0-0 Ivy) lost on a short handed goal with 3:05 left in overtime Friday night when freshman forward Marie Henriksen slipped the game-winner past freshman netminder Kayla Strong.
“Actually, I think [the puck was in] an unfortunate place for us,” said senior captain Caeleigh Beerworth. “And it turned out to be a lucky play for them. It’s the kind of thing that it can happen to any team. It just happened to have an unlucky bounce and unfortunately it ended up that way.”
