Women's Ice Hockey Sweeps Ivy League Major Awards, Five Named All-Ivy

2/26/2020 2:00:00 PM

ITHACA, N.Y. - Cornell women's ice hockey swept all three Ivy League postseason major awards, as was announced in a release Wednesday afternoon.
 
After leading his team to a mark of 25-1-3 in the regular season, with an unbeaten and untied Ivy League record, head coach Doug Derraugh was named the Ivy League Coach of the Year.
 
Anchoring her team during the 2019-20 season and leading it to a 10-0-0 record within the Ivy League, junior goalie Lindsay Browning was tabbed Player of the Year. Against Ivy League teams, Browning allowed just six goals with four shutouts. The netminder did not allow more than one goal to pass her in any of the Ivy games on the season. 
 
Notching the final major award in 2020, freshman Izzy Daniel earned Rookie of the Year honors. Half of the rookie's 16 points were earned in Ivy League games. Her eight Ivy League points led all rookies within the league. Against Harvard (1/18), Daniel scored two power-play goals after assisting the first of the Big Red's three power-play goals. In one game, Daniel led the team to a 75% power-play success rate. 
 
Five players made up the All-Ivy League teams with four of the six first-team members hailing from Cornell. Browning tabbed First Team All-Ivy League honors, along with seniors Jaime Bourbonnais, Kristin O'Neill and Micah Zandee-Hart. Junior Maddie Mills rounded out the Cornell honorees with a second-team selection. 
 
For the second year in a row, Bourbonnais joins Princeton' Sarah Fillier as one of two unanimous first-team selections. The senior from Mississauga, Ontario, is second in the nation amongst defensemen in points per game with an average of 1.31. Bourbonnais is also fifth in the nation in assists per game (1.07). She currently leads the team with 38 points and 31 assists. This marks the third straight year that she has landed a spot on the first team after she received honorable mention her freshman year.
 
O'Neill is the team's leader in goals this season with 19. Her average of 0.73 goals per game ranks fifth in the nation. The Oakville, Ontario native is third on the team in total points with 33. O'Neill has received All-Ivy recognition all four years she has been a member of the program. This marks the third consecutive year that O'Neill has notched a slot on the first team after earning second-team honors following her rookie season.
 
Zandee-Hart is the second-leading defenseman scorer on the team with 26 points on seven goals and 19 assists. The Saanichton, British Columbia native had her top performance of the season at Yale (2/15) when she notched a career-high four points (1-3-4) after assisting four goals, for a career-high, against Mercyhurst (1/4). This marks Zandee-Hart's fourth time receiving All-Ivy recognition and her second first-team honor. 
 
Browning is Cornell's final first-team honoree. Browning is first in the nation with a goals against average of 0.80 and second in the nation with a save percentage of 0.957. The junior goaltender has posted a record of 25-1-3, with 11 shutouts, in net this season to break the Cornell record for wins in a season and tie the record for shutouts in a season. She currently sits in eight-place in career goalie wins (29) and tied for fourth in career shutouts (12). This is Browning's first Ivy League postseason honor.
 
Rounding out the Big Red's Ivy League honorees is Mills with her second-team award. The 2017 Rookie of the Year is second on the team with 36 points on 18 goals and 18 assists. Mills has been a force to be reckoned with on the power play this year with 12 of her 36 points coming on the penalty. The junior has notched a team-leading six power-play goals and four game-winning goals. With one full season, and a postseason, left, Mills sits second in Cornell program history with 21 power-play goals and fourth with 13 game-winning goals. This marks Mills' third All-Ivy recognition.
