Box Score

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Freshmen Laura Fortino and Lauriane Rougeau both scored a pair of goals as the Cornell women's hockey team picked up a 6-0 victory over Colgate on Saturday afternoon at Lynah Rink. Rougeau added a pair of assists to lead the Big Red with four points on the night.

Amanda Young and Melanie Jue added goals for the Big Red (10-7-4, 9-1-4 ECAC Hockey), which got three assists from Catherine White. Amanda Mazzotta stopped 17 shots for her sixth shutout of the season, tying her for the all-time single season lead in that category. Colgate goaltender Lisa Plenderleith stopped 32 shots in taking the loss for the Raiders, who fall to 7-15-4 on the year and 3-7-4 in league play.

Cornell got on the board just 2:22 into the game on a power-play strike from Fortino, with Rougeau and White recording assists. Midway through the first period, it was Fortino again, this time taking a cross-ice pass from Chelsea Karpenko on the power play to jam home the puck on the weak side.

In the second period, the Big Red tacked on another pair of goals, with Rougeau and Young scoring to make the score 4-0. Young's goal came on the power play, a shot through traffic from the blue line that went in high over the shoulder of Colgate goaltender Lisa Plenderleith.

In the third, Melanie Jue scored five and a half minutes in, converting on a two-on-one with White, and Rougeau capped the scoring midway through the period, picking up a loose puck in the Colgate end, getting a shot off and scoring on her own rebound for the final margin.

Cornell finished the night 3-for-7 on the power play and held Colgate scoreless in three power-play attempts.

The Big Red returns to action on Friday when it opens up a two-game trip to the North Country at St. Lawrence in a 7 p.m. start at Appleton Arena in Canton, N.Y.
