Box Score PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Senior Kristin O'Neill scored two goals to lead the Cornell women's ice hockey team to a 4-0 shutout victory at Brown, Friday night. 
 
Senior Grace Graham opened the scoring with a tally in the seventh minute. Junior Willow Slobodzian received a short pass from senior Paige Lewis for a big shot from the blue line. Graham tipped the puck with her skate to help the puck through the net. Initially saved Brown goalie Calla Isaac, the powerful shot just kept moving until the puck was in the net.
 
Less than three minutes later, at 10:57, sophomore Gillis Frechette pushed the puck into the net from right in front of the goalie crease. After review, the referees called no-goal and Cornell held on to its 1-0 lead at the halfway mark of the first period.
 
With just over six minutes left in the first period, senior Micah Zandee-Hart blasted the puck into the goal from the left side of the blue line. The shot went through a line of three Cornellians and two Brown defenders, into the net, and then out of the net with such a speed the light never came on. Assisted by junior defender Kendra Nealey and Lewis, Zandee-Hart perfectly placed her shot in between the goalie and left post to hit Isaac's blind spot for the tally.
 
The first half of the second period saw five different people in the penalty box but coming off the final penalty kill, O'Neill scored her first goal of the night at 11:30. Freshman Izzy Daniel collected and controlled the puck behind the red line and passed it to junior Maddie Mills. Seeing O'Neill ready for the one-touch shot, Mills passed it straight to O'Neill for the Big Red's third goal of the night.
 
Five minutes later, O'Neill added to Cornell's lead with a tally from the slot in a similar fashion. Originating from senior Jaime Bourbonnais, Daniel passed the puck to O'Neill from the faceoff dot for the one-touch redirection into the net. 
 
Faced with a breakaway to challenge the shutout, junior goalie Lindsay Browning served the skater with just the right defiance. As the Bear athlete attempted to take a shot, Browning edged out the puck with her pads to push the shot high and wide in the 1-v-1. With 30 seconds on the second-period clock, the Bears made another breakaway but another flawless save by Browning and the Big Red entered the final period with a 4-0 lead.
 
Brown held off Cornell in the final period as the Big Red left Providence with its second straight, tenth total, shutout on the season. Browning saved all 11 shots to help secure her 11th career shutout. 
 
The Cornell offense dominated the game as it outshot Brown 49-11. 
 
The Big Red will be back in action tomorrow (Feb. 15) at Yale for a 3 p.m. puck drop.
