PROVIDENCE, R.I. – A late goal with 2:26 left in regulation proved to be the difference, as Cornell struck late to top the Brown women's hockey team 2-1 at Friday night at Meehan Auditorium.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE

Freshman Meadow Carman scored her second goal of the season on the power play at the 10:30 mark of the third period to tie the game.
Madie Stockfish and Megan Forrest picked up assists on the tying goal.
Kaley Doyle was strong in goal for Brown, making 35 saves, included 11 with the Bears shorthanded.
Brown killed off all five of its shorthanded situations, including a 5-on-3 late in the second period.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Cornell held a 6-5 edge in shots through a quick and scoreless opening 20 minutes of action.
With the game still scoreless, Doyle made a big save on a breakaway attempt just over three minutes into the second period.
Cornell broke the stalemate at 17:03 of the period when Elana Zingas took a long pass in the neutral zone, skated into offensive zone and scored on a wrist shot from the high slot to give Cornell a 1-0 lead they carried into the intermission.
Brown drew even midway through the third period with the man advantage on a blast by Carman from the blue line that deflected off a defender in front and in. Forrest and Stockfish notched assists.
The game remained tied until the closing minutes, when Cornell broke through with the game-winner when Gillis Frechette slid a loose puck into the net from the top of the crease after an initial save at 17:34 of the period.

QUOTES FROM THE COACH: MELANIE RUZZI

"That was very much a winnable game. I'm happy to see that our power play put one in the net. I was super impressed with our penalty kill and we did an excellent job shutting down the 5-on-3."

"At the end of the day, we have to play a full 60 minutes and that late goal was a result of us not picking up their sticks and clearing out a puck in front. I thought we defended well and Kaley (Doyle) made some big saves for us when she had to. She gives us a lot of confidence."

UP NEXT
The Bears will return to the ice at Meehan Auditorium on Saturday afternoon at 3 pm. when they will host No. 6 Colgate. The game will be streamed live on ESPN+ and Stretch Internet for international audiences.
