In a thrilling finale to the regular season, women’s hockey (21-6-1, 16-5-0 ECAC) shut down both Brown (11-14-3, 7-11-3 ECAC) and Yale (15-13-1, 12-9-1 ECAC) to claim its 16th Ivy League title. Cornell opened up the contest against Brown fast and furious, applying pressure on the Bears’ netminder Kaley Doyle. Freshman forward Mckenna Van Gelder broke the deadlock by slipping the puck past the Bulldogs’ goaltender Pia Dukaric. Moments later, the Red cracked a two-on-one break when freshman forward Karel Prefontaine found the back of the net thanks to Daniel’s precision playmaking. Her remarkable performance, bolstered by 35 saves, secured Cornell’s 16th Ivy League title in program history, further solidifying Bergmann’s stellar 16-5-1 record in goal this season.
