Box Score PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Third-ranked Cornell scored two third period goals to break a 1-1 deadlock and capture a 3-1 win over Brown on Friday evening at Meehan Auditorium. The Big Red improved to 11-1-2 (7-0-2 ECAC Hockey), while the Bears slipped to 1-10-3 (0-6-1 ECAC Hockey).

After a full month since its last game, the Big Red was able to shake some rust off after battling to through Hercules to make it to New England for the weekend road trip. Jillian Saulnier had a shorthanded goal to get the Big Red on the board and assisted on the game's final goal as the lone multi-point scorer in the Big Red win. Emily Fulton and Hanna Bunton each lit the lamp, with Bunton's score just 1:18 into the third the decisive score. Cassandra Poudrier, Sydney Smith and Taylor Woods were each credited with assists.

In goal, Lauren Slebodnick outdueled a game Aubree Moore by making 12 saves, including four in the decisive third period. Moore made 24 stops for the Bears in defeat.

Cornell ran out to a lead midway through the first period when Saulnier scored down a man after the Big Red's first penalty of the night. Her goal 8:50 in stood until Brown tied the score when Janice Young tipped in a shot from Sarah Robson to even the score at 1-1 with 10:43 left in the second despite Cornell's 13-4 edge in shots in the period.

The visitors regained the lead early in the third as Bunton redirected a shot by Poudrier into the net to make it 2-1, and Fulton cashed in on an insurance goal shortly after an expired penalty to make it 3-1 with 6:28 left in regulation.

The Big Red will be back in action on Saturday, Jan. 4 when it meets Yale at 4 p.m. at Ingalls Rink.
