Freshman forward Gillis Frechette is hitting her stride at the most crucial time of the year, and nothing exemplifies her late-season surge better than her game-winning breakaway goal in overtime last weekend to send Cornell to the Frozen Four. Helping lead Cornell women’s hockey to its first national semifinals appearance since 2012, Frechette has tallied a third of the team’s postseason goals. “I felt like through the first half of the season I had a lot of chances, but the puck just wouldn’t go in for me,” Frechette said. Clearly thriving in the high-pressure atmosphere that is playoff hockey, Frechette has scored six of her 13 points this season in the past six games. “Everyone on our team is beyond excited to be heading to the Frozen Four,” Frechette said.
