Women 2022-23

dbilmes · December 03, 2022, 05:18:25 PM

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.

Per Doug Derraugh in our pre-game visit yesterday, injured at Team USA camp and expected to be out a while.

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.

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.

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.
