ITHACA, N.Y. -- Sophomore forward Taylor Woods scored twice and freshman goaltender Paula Voorheis made 26 saves for her second career shutout, powering the third-ranked Women's Hockey team to a 3-0 victory over Dartmouth on Friday night at Lynah Rink.

Sophomore forward Jess Brown added an insurance tally late in the third period, and freshman forward Hannah Bunton and sophomore defenseman Cassandra Poudrier had two assists apiece.

The game featured 19 power plays combined between the two teams, but only one power-play goal. Woods' first strike came on the man advantage 12:10 into the first period. Bunton and Poudrier drew the assists as Woods bowled her way to the net from the right wing.

Woods' second goal came in similar hard-working fashion, when she took a pass from freshman forward Caroline DeBruin in the slot and slid a backhand shot under the Dartmouth goalie at the 9:15 mark. Sophomore Anna Zorn had the secondary assist.

Cornell went 10-for-10 on the penalty kill, including three two-man disadvantages. Brown closed the scoring in the third period after Poudier's shot from the left point was deflected by Bunton. The Dartmouth goalie made the save, but Brown converted the rebound to stake the Big Red to a 3-0 lead.

Voorheis made eight of her 26 saves in the third period in her fifth collegiate start.

Cornell (14-1-3) is back in action at 4 p.m. Saturday in a much-anticipated showdown with rival Harvard, which is ranked sixth in the country.
