ITHACA, N.Y. - The Cornell women's ice hockey team defeated the Harvard Crimson 5-1 on Friday night at Lynah Rink. The Big Red improved to 5-3-1, while the Crimson dropped to 2-6-0.

Avi Adam, Lindzi Avar, Lily Delianedis (two), and Karel Prefontaine registered Big Red goals in the contest. Mckenna Van Gelder (two), Kaitlin Jockims, Georgia Schiff, Piper Grober, Katie Chan, Delaney Fleming, and Grace Dwyer were credited with helpers in the game.

The Big Red began the game at a fast pace, producing its fair share of shots-on-goal. After 15 minutes of play, Cornell made hay of its scoring-chances. 

Adam found the back of the net to break the drought at the 15:46-mark. With just under one minute left in the first-period, Cornell extended its lead to 2-0 when Linzi scored. As the clock wound down, Delianedis added insurance by scoring with 10 seconds remaining.

Lily Delianedis had the hot-stick, as she would add another to Cornell's advantage just 20 seconds into the second period. Prefontaine made it 5-0 when she scored.

Lester Paige netted a goal for the Crimson in the second period to spoil the shutout, but that would be all for Harvard as Cornell skated away with a 5-1 victory. Annelies Bergmann collected 19 saves en route to her fifth win of the season.
