ALBANY, N.Y. - Four alumnae of the Cornell women's ice hockey program received ECAC Hockey All-Decade honors. 
 
Former Big Red forwards, Brianne Jenner and Jillian Saulnier, and defenders, Laura Fortino and Lauriane Rougeau, were named to the All-Decade teams. 

Nominees for this award were compiled from the list of all First Team All-League players from the past 10 years (2009-10 season to 2018-19), along with any other players the current group of coaches put forward. A group of 11 coaches, SID's administrators and media members, then voted on the nominees, all of whom have been involved with the league over the past 10 years. 
  
A first-team selection, Brianne Jenner closed her Cornell women's ice hockey career in 2015. As a freshman on the team, she earned Ivy League Rookie of the Year before being named to the ECAC Hockey All-Rookie Team. The four-time Patty Kamaier Award Nominee closed her rookie season with 50 points on 23 goals and 27 assists. Throughout her career, Jenner continued to stand out. She is one of three Cornellians who are four-time First Team All-ECAC Hockey honorees and one of three Big Red women's ice hockey student-athletes to be named First Team All-Ivy League all four years. The 2012-13 and 2014-15 Ivy League/ECAC Hockey Player of the Year capped her Cornell career with the program record in assists (136) and the runner-up position in points (229); both of which have not been topped since she left in 2015. A two-time Patty Kazmaier Award Top-10 Finalist, Jenner was named First Team All-America in 2013. 
 
The Big Red's second first team selection is Laura Fortino. As the first ever Cornellian to earn All-America honors, she is the only Cornellian to be named a First Team All-American three times. As a freshman, she was the only Big Red athlete to notch a point in all seven postseason games before being named to the ECAC Hockey All-Rookie Team. Fortino went on to complete her sophomore season with Ivy League Player of the Year honors. A four-time All-ECAC Hockey and All-Ivy League honoree, Fortino closed her career with 133 points on 35 goals and 98 assists. The two-time Patty Kazmaier Award Top-10 Finalist, three-time nominee, left Cornell with the second-best plus/minus (+142) and sixth-most assists (98) in program history. 
 
The first of two second-team honorees, Jillian Saulnier is Cornell women's ice hockey's last skater to be named First Team All-America. To begin her career at Cornell, Saulnier was one of the breakout freshmen in the country and was celebrated as such. After her first year of Big Red hockey, Saulnier had earned two ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Month awards and three ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Week honors. The ECAC Hockey and Ivy League Rookie of the Year spent most of her rookie season in the top line with Rebecca Johnston and Jenner for 52 total points on 22 goals and 30 assists. Well on her way, Saulnier closed her Cornell career with the sixth-most points (194) and fourth-most assists (114) in program history. Saulnier earned all-league awards for ECAC Hockey and Ivy League following all four years of competition. Following her junior season in which she led the Cornell offense with 56 points; Saulnier was a top-three finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Award.
 
The final of the four All-Decade honorees, a second-team selection, is Lauriane Rougeau. A four-time Patty Kazmaier Award nominee, Rougeau started her career with 32 points, which was good for third in the nation by a defender and sixth among all rookies. The 2010 Ivy League Rookie of the Year earned her first, of four, First Team All-ECAC Hockey honors. As a senior, Rougeau concluded a career that included her fourth Second Team All-American award and her third straight ECAC Hockey Best Defensive Defenseman award. The lone captain her senior season, Rougeau left Cornell at the top of the Cornell career record list with +150 in plus/minus; a record that has yet to be beaten. 
 
Jenner, Fortino, Saulnier, and Rougeau, along with fellow Cornellian, Rebecca Johnston, all continue to play ice hockey for the Canadian National Team.
