TORONTO, Ont. — Cornell women's hockey grads Emily Fulton '15, Brianne Jenner '15 and Jillian Saulnier '15 were drafted into the Canadian Women's Hockey League in the league's 2015 Entry Draft on Sunday.

Fulton and Jenner were both first round picks, with Fulton going second overall to the Toronto Furies and Jenner being selected fourth by the Calgary Inferno.

Saulnier, who was a third round pick, will reunite with Jenner in Calgary.

Fulton, Jenner and Saulnier were the Big Red's top line in 2014-15, accounting for nearly half of the team's scoring.  

Jenner, who scored the first goal for the Canadian Women's National Team in their gold medal victory over the United States at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, finished her Cornell career with 98 goals and 135 assists. She was also a Patty Kazmaier Nominee and a member of the All-ECAC First Team in all four years at Cornell and ECAC Hockey Player of the Year in 2013 and 2015.

Saulnier, who notched 78 goals and 115 assists for the Big Red, was a First Team All-American, Patty Kazmaier Top-3 Finalist and Ivy League Co-Player of the Year in 2014 and earned ECAC Hockey First Team honors in 2014 and 2015.

Fulton earned First Team All-Ivy and Second Team All-ECAC Hockey honors in 2014 and 2015 and tallied 58 goals and 70 assists in her four seasons.

Fulton and Toronto open their season on Oct. 17 against the Boston Blades. The Blades will then travel to Calgary to face Jenner and Saulnier in their home opener on Oct. 24.
