Women’s hockey outshot Quinnipiac 34-18, had three power-play chances to the Bobcats one, and dominated play throughout the second half of the game. But faced with a red-hot goaltender, Cornell could not find a way to put the puck in the back of the net.
“We haven't looked young a lot this year. We looked young tonight.”
“Two of the best teams in the country coming into town this weekend, it will be a real test to see where we’re at right now,” Derraugh said.

The Red dropped the game by a 2-1 score, its second consecutive loss to the Terriers.
“You look through all the years, it's the legacy, right? You come to these programs for the tradition.”
“Get[ting] that opportunity in front of our fans and in front of our alums … it's a good rivalry here, and [an] important game for us, important game for them.”
