Cornell women’s hockey, ranked No. 12 nationally, earned a decisive 6-1 victory over No. 7 Princeton on Friday night at Hobey Baker Rink. The Big Red improved to 13-8-3 on the season, while the Tigers dropped to 17-5-0.
Cornell found the net early and often, getting goals from Grace Dwyer, Delaney Fleming, Piper Grober twice, Georgia Schiff and Alyssa Regalado. Dwyer led all players with four points, finishing with one goal and three assists. Schiff added three assists, while Beatrice Perron-Roy contributed two helpers as the Big Red spread production throughout the lineup.
The opening period was tightly contested, with both teams generating chances but unable to capitalize on the power play. Princeton struck first early in the second period on a woman-up opportunity, but Cornell quickly responded. Dwyer tied the game following a successful penalty kill, and moments later Fleming redirected a shot on the power play to give the Big Red the lead. Grober added another goal less than two minutes later to make it 3–1 heading into the third.
Grober extended the lead early in the final frame, and Cornell put the game away with two late goals, including an empty-net tally by Regalado and a final strike from Schiff.
Annelies Bergmann anchored the win with 19 saves and added an assist, while Princeton goaltender Uma Corniea also stopped 19 shots.
Cornell returns to the ice Saturday against No. 6 Quinnipiac, with puck drop scheduled for 3 p.m. at M&T Bank Arena.
