High-Octane Big Red
Daniel ranks second in the nation in assists per game with 1.19, eighth in goals per game with .70 per contest, and second in points per game with 1.89. Since joining the top-line as left-wing in place of sidelined skater Chan, first-year forward Karel Prefontaine has registered a handful of points of her own, increasing her total to 20 points on nine goals and 11 assists. Delianedis has been the anchor to those explosive wingers, collecting 274 wins during her faceoff duties, and lighting the lamp four times during Big Red power-play opportunities.

Kaitlin Jockims has emerged as an X-Factor for the Big Red, scoring 12 goals on the season along with eight assists. Jockims is netting the puck with precision, boasting a 30% shot percentage. She is responsible for three short-handed goals on the year, and has four game-winning goals which is tied for first on the team with Delianedis.

Annelies Bergmann has played in 22 games, earning 482 saves (high - 43, one shutout) with a .923 save percentage. Deanna Fraser has started six games, earning 84 saves (high - 23) with a .903 save percentage to go along with a shutout victory over Syracuse.

IIHF Rivalry Series
During game one of the 2023 USA vs Canada Rivalry Series, Big Red blue-liner Rory Guilday fired a deep shot which was collected on a rebound and led to the game-winning-goal in the United States 3-1 victory over Canada. The U.S. also took game two over the Canadians, winning by a count of 5-2 in front of a sell out crowd at Crypto.com Arena.

Game three and four of the series were split by the Americans and the Canadians at Kitchener Memorial Auditorium. Team USA claimed game three in OT by a score of 3-2. The Canadians took game four 3-2 in shootouts, which was aided by a clutch Kristin O'Neill assist on the game-tying-goal for Canada.

Canada would storm back in the series and complete the reverse sweep over the Americans, winning game seven of the Rivalry Series 6-1 with help from Cornellian point-scorers Brianne Jenner and Micah Zandee-Hart.
