Women 2022-23

Official announcement of the incoming class:
[cornellbigred.com]

Wow. 4 players from Team Canada and 1 from Team USA. Nice.

Four current players (and seven alums) got invited to the Hockey Canada Summer Showcase. The current players are sophomore Ashley Messier and three members of the incoming class, Avi Adam, Sarah MacEachern and Mckenna Van Gelder. There's at least one committed recruit attending too. Basically, they're bringing together the senior national team, the NTDP and U18s for this event.

D Rory Guilday made the U.S. roster for the world championships later this month. I think that will make her the first Cornellian to play for the senior women's national team?

Canada's roster should be out soon. This is the first time they're having a women's world championship in the same year as the Olympics.

This from a friend who follows women’s hockey closely -
“Actually, she is the second Cornell player to be named to Team USA. Alyssa Gagliardi’14, was named one year to play in the Four Nations Cup tournament.”

From the same friend — “Cornell lost places on Canada’s NWT. Saulnier did not make it. Jaime Bourbonnais was one of the last cuts from the Olympic team and she did not make it this time, either. Brianne Jenner and Zandee-Hart the only returnees, with Kristin O’Neill being added. Rebecca Johnston and Laura Fortino were both invited to camp but could not attend, so no surprise they were not on it.”

Nice feature story on Brianne Jenner by TSN.

Assistant coach Dean Jackson has left to go coach at a prep school. Seems like an inopportune time for Cornell to be looking for a new assistant.

Excited to announce that Dean Jackson will be joining @JeffPellegrini & the coaching staff @thewinchschool! Welcome to "The Winch Family" Coach Jackson! pic.twitter.com/71iH2ucYlu

So, the replacement for Dean Jackson is listed on the WICE website. He was the former head coach of the Elmira women's program, Tim Crowley. Anyone know anything about him?

The USCHO preseason poll has Cornell at No. 12 (and with ECAC teams in spots 6-12).

The ECAC preseason poll has Cornell at No. 6, with D Rory Guilday on the preseason all-ECAC team.

The women will easily outperform these predictions. They have the top incoming class in the nation and one of the best classes in Cornell WIH history.

Cripe, the women's pre-season #1 is Ohio State.

I bet the people at Ohio State PR have worn from their keyboards the letters T, H and E.

Season outlook from CornellBigRed.com: [cornellbigred.com]

First exhibition game, against McGill, is Friday at 6 p.m. ET and will be on ESPN+.

Doug Derraugh will be an assistant coach for the Team Canada women again: [cornellbigred.com]

Women win their first D1 match, 3-0 over Mercyhurst at Lynah.

Huge ECAC weekend with Cornell and Colgate at Quinnipiac and Princeton today and tomorrow. Cornell has Quinnipiac first, with both games at 6 p.m.
Preview: [cornellbigred.com]

In national team news, Rory Guilday made the U.S. roster for the Rivalry Series with Canada in November. Doug Derraugh is on the Team Canada coaching staff, along with players Brianne Jenner, Kristin O'Neill, Jamie Bourbonnais and Micah Zandee-Hart. Canada went with 0 current NCAA players; the U.S. picked 6 (Cornell has no games during the series, which is Nov. 15, 17 and 20.)

One could stay after the football game at Princeton Saturday and see the Cornell-Princeton women's hockey game at 6 pm. You'd have 2, 2-1/2 hours to kill between games. Less if you also tailgate after football.

Q 2 Cornell 0 after 1.

Q 2 Cornell 0 after 1.

2-1 late in the 2nd. Cornell dominating the 2nd period, but Q’s goalie has made several amazing saves.

The women did well to split a road weekend against two ECAC opponents who, like Cornell, are also in the Top Ten. No. 8 Cornell lost 4-1 to No. 7 Quinnipiac on Friday, but bounced back to beat No. 10 Princeton, 3-1, on Saturday, breaking a 1-1 tie with two third-period goals.

Didn’t get a chance to watch today’s game, but Friday’s was very enjoyable and much closer than the final score would indicate. Quinnipiac’s goalie was fantastic. I’m looking forward to catching the games at Lynah next weekend.

Nice game versus Princeton. Hobey Baker rink (capacity 2,000) is better suited to games that draw in the hundreds of fans. Attendance listed at 542.

Cornell freshman McKenna Van Gelder got goals one and two, the second (GWG) was a nice wrist shot that found the unprotected upper right corner. I thought Cornell played quite well but maybe not yet well enough to be a final four contender.

Note: Our football tickets, part of a block a Princeton friend got, were $6 each. The hockey tickets were $12 each for those who aren't Princeton students (free admission to Princeton sports) and there were three people working the booth. I hope Princeton recouped the box office overhead.

Wash rinse repeat Princeton hockey at 7 pm Friday 11/4 at Baker Rink for the Cornell men. As of today (Monday 10/31) standing room tickets are still available. It may be declared a sellout as I believe it was last year even though you'll see several hundred empty seats; those are set-asides for students who might attend. They'll be $15. Better than $40 for Cornell at Harvard.

See photo below. Does this look like 504 people? One in four seats should be filled.

Weird one so far tonight at Lynah, where Cornell and St. Lawrence are 3-3 early in the second. SLU goals have come in the first and last minutes of the first period and in the first minute of the second.

How is SLU ranked?

How is SLU ranked?

They’re also receiving votes in the latest poll.

5-5 after two.

Well fought win! 7-6

Cornell beats SLU, 7-6, coming back from 6-5 down with two goals while Gillis Frechette was serving a 5-minute major for cross-checking. One was a SHG and the other was 4-on-4 after SLU got a delay of game penalty after the SHG.

Just one of those games.

They almost had two short handed goals. First breakaway on the major resulted in crossbar.

Does anyone who has been following the team know why Avi Adam is not playing? She played briefly during the first exhibition game and has not been heard from since. I'm assuming she was injured?

Cornell scores 2 in the first 1:04 and lead Clarkson 2-1 after 1.

A very strange game. Clarkson dominates most of our 5-minute major, only giving up a goal in the last 30 seconds: score 3-1. Then the wheels appear to fall off the bus and at the end of 2 it is 7-1.

7 Cornell goals from 7 different players and according to the Lynah scoreboard, the 7 goals have come on 18 shots.

No need. Final score: 8-1 Cornell. Not bad for the #9 team against the #10 team. We have a lot of very good, very young players. But they seem to be coming along.

Hoping Caroline Chan is ok after the hit to the head. She was pretty unsteady coming off the ice.

Hope the Clarkson player is suspended for that brutal hit

4-1 Dartmouth late 1st. Help!

Al DeFlorio
4-1 Dartmouth late 1st. Help!

We’ve been spoiled by stellar goaltending for over a dozen years, but this year may be an exception (not to say Fraser was at fault for all the goals). Next year we have the Canadian U-18 goalie coming in, but for now we’ll have to make do.

6-4 Cornell after 2. I was multitasking during the first period [as usual] but since shots, faceoffs, etc. were even I am guessing it was goalie issues. Changed out the netminder for the second period and she only had 4 saves, as Cornell whaled on Dartmouth to score 5 unanswered goals.

Holy hell, that is a comeback.

Cornell has been prone to defensive breakdowns at times this season and I think those more than the goaltending were the issue in the first period.

6-5 final

Women hold off Dartmouth 6-5. Replacement goalie Belle Mende gets the win, to the delight of Kenny Banya (I’ll see myself out).

I think they really missed having Rory Guilday on defense. With her not present (at Rivalry Series), the defensive pairings had to be adjusted. Plus, she is such a physical presence back there. I'm assuming Derraugh will be joining her after this weekend.

I didn’t know the coach had eligibility left, but I doubt he’s good enough at defense anymore given his age.

I kiiiiid.

Surprising 2-0 loss to Harvard. After yesterday I guess giving up goals not that big a shock but being shut out sure is.

The team looked awful, and I am a long-time, [usually] positive fan. I am not sure I can think of anything good to say about the game. Except that it is over and they can look forward to a week off while Derraugh goes off to coach Canada.

Today vs. Northeastern at 4 pm ET and tomorrow vs. Princeton at 1 pm ET.

3-0 Northeastern mid-first

4-1 mid-third

Cornell women, down 1-4, come back to tie #3 Yale 4-4 [final in OT].

Quite a weekend for the Cornell women. Friday, as mentioned in previous post, Cornell overcame a 4-1 deficit (4-2 heading into the 3rd period) to tie an unbeaten Yale team which had only given up 8 goals in its first 8 games. On Saturday afternoon, with a quick turnaround, it was a classic letdown game, and Cornell trailed Brown 2-0 in the second period before Izzy Daniel scored late in the period to cut the lead to 2-1. Cornell then came out flying in the third period, scoring three unanswered goals to pull out a 4-2 win. Brown never got a chance to pull its goalie, as Cornell kept possession of the puck until taking a penalty with 11 seconds left. Cornell's top two lines are really skilled. Counting the two games this weekend, Cornell has had four games this season with huge comebacks.
The goaltending is still shaky, though. We pulled our goalie Friday after she gave up three goals on just 7 shots in first period, and even though Fraser played the entire game today, she didn't look great. The Brown announcers even commented on how she looked shaky and was giving up some juicy rebounds. Cornell will need better play in goal if it wants to make a good postseason run. But this team is fun to watch. Quite entertaining.

A shorthanded Cornell team lost a tough game to No. 1 ranked Ohio State Saturday, 4-3. Due to injuries, Cornell only played four defensemen, and one of our best players, Lily Delianedis, was serving a one-game suspension for an illegal hit in Cornell's last game. Two of our best defensemen, Rory Guilday and Ashley Messier, were out with injuries and it sounds like they won't be back any time soon. Delianedis is our third-leading scorer and she and Messier both have a plus-minus of plus-11. Even so, Cornell played Ohio State tough. OSU took a 2-goal lead and Cornell kept fighting back to cut the lead to one, including an extra-man goal with just over a minute remaining. Cornell had some bad luck on OSU's fourth goal, which came during an OSU powerplay. There was a loose puck in the crease, and one of our players went to clear it just as our goalie came out to cover it up and the puck ended up deflecting off our goalie into the goal for an "own goal."
The teams play a rematch today at 3 p.m. One thing about this year's team is that it never gives up.

Guilday is with Team USA on the West Coast right now but didn't play a few nights ago in Las Vegas, so I wonder what the deal there is. I guess we'll see if she plays Monday in LA.

Women crush Union 7-2.

Women crush Union 7-2.

Hopefully the injury to Frechette isn’t too serious. Losing her along with Guilday and Messier would not be ideal.

The women beat RPI 1-0. Most of our 30 shots were not high-quality but the RPI goalie was the difference in the game, as we outshot them 30-14. Frechette did play and if she was hurting, it didn't seriously affect her performance.

A costly win for the women tonight, 4-1 over Princeton. The starting goalie, Deanna Frasier, had to leave the game after a goalmouth collision. And then one of our best players, Lily Delianedis, had to leave the game after injuring her shoulder/right arm. Neither returned, and we may be missing both of them for Saturday's game against first-place Q. As for the game itself, Princeton scored 19 seconds into the game on the first SOG of the night, but Cornell went ahead 2-1 by the end of the period and added a goal in each of the next two periods. Abi Adams, who scored her first three goals of the season against Union last week, scored again tonight.

Nice bounce-back win against Colgate, 4-2, today after Cornell got smoked in Hamilton on Friday. Colgate (10-3), Cornell (9-4-1) and Clarkson (9-4-1) are in a pretty tight race for the 3-4-5 spots in the ECAC with Quinnipiac (13-2) and Yale (12-1-1) having separated themselves a bit from the pack. Given the remaining schedule, the Red still have a great shot at home ice in the first round of the playoffs and at that point hopefully they'll have some of the injured players back.

Women in position for an at large ncaa bid right?

It'll help a lot if Penn State keeps playing well and wins the CHA tournament to keep a team from outside the top 11 from taking an autobid. Probably also want to root for Northeastern to get the Hockey East autobid.

Nm.

The women's team is in a late-season tailspin, with four straight losses and five defeats in the last six games. Cornell lost to Harvard, 7-6, last weekend and then got blown out, 5-1, by last-place Dartmouth, with both games at Lynah. This weekend, in North Country, Cornell lost a showdown for fourth place to Clarkson, 2-1, and then blew a 2-0 third-period lead to St. Lawrence and lost 3-2 in overtime. Only the top 8 teams make the ECAC playoffs, and Cornell is still in fifth place, but home ice for the quarterfinals seems unlikely. Goaltending has been a problem much of the season, as none of the three goalies on the squad have stepped up and taken over the No. 1 role. Hopefully, Coach Derragh can get the team back on track before it's too late. The ECAC is loaded, and Quinninpiac and Yale are both Frozen Four contenders with Colgate (whom we beat a few weeks ago at Lynah) not far behind.

I hadn't looked at the roster page in a while, and it shows that five of the seven players who entered as freshmen in 2020 are listed as sophomores this season. I'd heard that a few players -- notably Gillis Frechette -- didn't enroll during the season when the Ivies didn't play, but I didn't realize it was (apparently) that many. The five who are listed as sophomores: Ashley Messier, Gabbie Rud, Kaitlin Jockims, Lily Delianedis and Claudia Yu. Deanna Fraser and Abby Ruggiero are listed as what is now part of a very small junior class (along with Izzy Daniel, who entered in 2019 and would normally have been a senior this season).

It’s too bad the men didn’t do this. (Or maybe some did, and the roster page doesn’t reflect it.) The men could have had an amazing team next year if Malinski, Berard, Mitchell, etc. came back.

Nice that both men's and women's teams played at home Friday. Cornell women built up a 3-0 lead in the first, gave up a SHG to Brown's Jade Iginla (yes, daughter of Jerome, NHL HOF) in the third, Brown got another, Cornell get the ENG at 19:54 to make it 4-2 final, where the men didn't and so it was 3-2 in the evening.

First win after four losses.

We had some good chances in the first ot. So did they.

Cornell scores 5 minutes into 2ot, they are checking the review.

They pull out the win even after a review!!! Great effort.

Goal! Go to game 3.

Game 3 scoreless after 1st

Tied 0-0 after 1, got dominated for a long stretch there but came out unscathed. Refs really letting them play in this one.

Right off a Clarkson pp to start the second period, Cornell gets a break, and scores. 1-0 Goalie really wants that one back....

And now its tied.

2-1 Clarkson late 2nd

Refs letting all kinds of trips and the like go uncalled on both sides, but mostly Clarkson getting away with stuff.

Boo. Clarkson with a nice ppg so now 3-1. And an ENG at 2:48 of the third period.

The women are 12th in the Pairwise (better than the men!). Hopefully, they will get an NCAA bid when they are announced next weekend.

How does that even work? Five teams get byes?

The five conference tournament champions receive automatic bids, and six teams receive at-large bids. That doesn't look good for Cornell.
"Seeds 6-11 will play a first-round matchup, or regional semifinal, on either Thursday, March 9, or Friday, March 10. The winners will advance to face the first, second and third overall seeds in the second round (regional final) on either Saturday, March 11, or Sunday, March 12. There must be an off day between games for regional semifinal winners. The No. 4 overall seed will play the No. 5 overall seed in the second round as well."
