Fulton Helps No. 3 Women's Hockey Tie No. 9/10 Quinnipiac

11/2/2013 7:40:00 PM

Box Score HAMDEN, Conn. – Emily Fulton's penalty shot goal in the third period helped the No. 3 Cornell women's hockey team to a 1-1 tie with No. 9/10 Quinnipiac Saturday afternoon.
 
After a scoreless first period, Cornell (5-0-1, 3-0-1 ECAC Hockey) gave up a short-handed goal to the Bobcats (7-1-2, 2-1-1 ECAC Hockey) at the 15:29 mark of the second when Amanda Colin dropped a pass to Shiann Darkangelo just over blue line. Darkangelo skated in and sent a wrist shot from the right faceoff dot past senior netminder Lauren Slebodnick to give Quinnipiac the 1-0 advantage.
 
With time winding down in the third, junior Emily Fulton was awarded a penalty shot after some discussion by the officiating crew.
 
Fulton – the Big Red's leading scorer – had a partial breakaway moving into the Quinnipiac zone and was tripped up by the Bobcats' Cydney Roesler. Fulton was able to get a shot away from her knees, but sent it wide of Chelsea Laden.
 
Moving in from center ice for the penalty shot, Fulton went low and tried to stuff in under the left pad of Laden. Quinnipiac's netminder made the initial stop but, as she tried to close her pads to freeze the puck, she inadvertently knocked it behind her into the net to tie the game at one.
 
Laden finished with 27 saves for the Bobcats, while Slebodnick recorded 29 for the Big Red.
