PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The no. 6-ranked Cornell women's ice hockey team defeated Brown 2-1 in overtime at Meehan Auditorium on Friday night. The Big Red improved to 21-6-1, while the Bears fell to 11-13-3. 

Piper Grober and Izzy Daniel registered the Big Red goals in the contest. Georgia Schiff, Mckenna Van Gelder, Rory Guilday, and Grace Dwyer dealt assists in the game.

Cornell opened up the contest fast and furious, applying pressure on Brown net-minder Kaley Doyle. Doyle showed up strong in response, saving 18 shots in the opening period, while Bergmann stopped five to keep the game dead-locked at zero.

Lopsided power-play opportunities favored the Bears in the second, with them having five to Cornell's one. The Big Red stood strong during four of those attempts but Brown found the back of the net on one, which served as the difference after two periods.

Cornell claimed two minutes of power-play action when Schiff was elbowed midway through the third, although the Big Red was unable to find the equalizer during that time. With just over five minutes of regulation left to play, Grober fired a shot from the blue-line that somehow found its way past Doyle for the game-tying goal.

Six seconds into overtime, Jade Iginla was called for an interference penalty which put the Big Red on a four on three advantage. After a flurry of shots in front of Doyle, Daniel fired one past the outstanding Brown net-minder to give Cornell its third overtime victory of the season.

Annelies Bergmann finished the game with 20 saves, and moved to 15-5-1 between the pipes on the season.
