SOCHI, Russia – With Team USA holding a 2-0 lead with just under four minutes to play in the women's ice hockey gold medal game, Cornell's Brianne Jenner started what would become an epic comeback when she scored for Team Canada with 3:29 to go in regulation. Marie-Philip Poulin then tied the game off a pass from the Big Red's Rebecca Johnston '12 with 56 seconds to play, before netting the game-winner in overtime off a pass from Laura Fortino '13.

Altogether Cornell had five Olympians compete in the Sochi games and all five earned medals, as former Big Red women's track and field standout Jamie Greubel '06 won the bronze medal in the women's bobsled yesterday.

The five total medals makes the 2014 Big Red Olympic contingent the most decorated in the history of the winter games for Cornell and matches the best performance ever, which happened during the 1984 Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles, Calif., when rowers David Clark '82 and Chip Lubsen '77 both won silver, while swimmer Pedro Pablo Morales, Jr., J.D. '94 won two silver and one gold.

Prior to the Sochi games just six Cornellians had medaled in the winter Olympics, one of whom was Johnston, who won the gold four years ago with Team Canada in Vancouver. With the her back-to-back gold medals, Johnston becomes the first-ever Big Red graduate to earn a pair of medals in the winter Olympics and is just the fifth Cornellian to earn multiple medals, joining Morales (Swimming – one silver, one gold – 1984; two gold – 1992), Kevin Freeman '63 (Equestrian – three silvers – 1964, '68, '72), Shelley Mann '61 (Swimming – one gold, one silver – 1956) and Charlie Moore '51 (Track & Field – one gold, one silver – 1952).
