NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Three third period goals helped the Cornell women's hockey team complete a 4-3 comeback over Yale Friday evening at Ingalls Rink. The Big Red is now unbeaten in its last 19 games against the Bulldogs and advanced to 4-0-0 on the season and 3-0-0 in ECAC Hockey and Ivy League play. Yale fell to 0-3-0 overall and holds same mark in conference play. 
 
Sam Burke scored the first of late tallies for the Big Red with 7:11 left in regulation, evening the score at three apiece. Kristin O'Neill put home the game-winner 47 seconds later. The Oakville, Ontario, native beat three Yale defenders on her way to the difference-maker.
 
O'Neill led the way with two goals for Big Red. She now has five goals on the season, which leads the team.
 
Yale's Julia Yetman opened the game's scoring with a goal just under eight and a half minutes into the contest. Cornell appeared to even the score in the first period when O'Neill found the back of the net, but the goal was waived off. Yale added its second goal of the contest off the stick of Rebecca Foggia to go up 2-0 with 6:22 left in the second period.
 
The Big finally got on the board with three minutes left in the second, as Maddie Mills put home her first goal of the season. After Amy Curlew's deflection on a feed in from Devon Facchinato was turned away by Yale goaltender Tera Hofmann, Mills put home the loose puck on the opposite end to bring the Big Red within one.
 
O'Neill's first goal of the contest came on a Yale power play 1:24 into the third period. After scooping up the puck deep in Cornell's defensive zone, the junior captain took the puck the length of the ice. Once she entered the offensive zone, O'Neill had Mills to her right with two Yale defensemen in the vicinity. After slightly slowing up, O'Neill opted to fire a shot that made its way to the back of the net.
 
The goal is O'Neill's 10th career shorthanded goal, which is the most in program history.
 
Yale regained the lead after a goal just under six minutes later with a tally from Emma Vlasic before Cornell added the final two goals.
 
In net, Marlène Boissonnault made 16 saves on 19 shots faced.
 
The Big Red returns to action tomorrow when it takes on Brown with a 3 p.m. puck drop at Meehan Auditorium. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
