The last time a program had the No. 1 hockey team in both the men’s and women’s polls was on Oct. 27, 2014, when Minnesota grabbed both spots. Cornell can now also claim this distinction.
Junior goaltender Lindsay Browning recorded her 11th shutout against RPI, making her the program’s all-time leader for shutouts in a season.
But the Bulldogs would not just give the title to Cornell. After a scoreless first period, Yale’s Kristen Nergaard broke the deadlock to put her team on top of the Red.
Through 25 games, the Red has dominated the competition — acquiring a 21-1-3 record.
In the third period, it looked as if the Red was in some trouble when the Crimson went on a 4-on-3 power play. But Cornell’s penalty kill led a deadly attack that culminated in a Zandee-Hart shorthanded goal.
No. 4 women’s hockey put another unbeaten weekend in the books at Lynah against ECAC foes St. Lawrence and Clarkson. On Saturday, the Red squared off against St. Lawrence and came out on top, 3-2.
O’Neill was not the only Cornellian to make history Saturday night, as Browning, with her 14 saves on the night, moved into fifth place on Cornell’s all-time shutout list with nine.
The Red had a successful break, picking up three ECAC wins and preserving its unbeaten streak.
Despite playing on the road against two tough conference foes, the Red outscored its opponents, 9-2, over the weekend.
Cornell hockey took home half of the ECAC’s monthly accolades for November, winning Goaltender of the Month for both the men’s and women’s categories in addition to men’s Rookie of the Month.
