Bonds That Win: For Women’s Hockey’s Seniors, Four Years Are Just a Fraction
When you sit down with Cornell women’s hockey’s senior class, it may seem like they’ve known each other for more than four years. Well, that’s because they have.

Super Bowl LX is quickly approaching, and for the second straight year Cornell will be represented. Jason Houghtaling, former offensive coordinator for the Red, will be on the New England Patriots as an assistant offensive line coach for the big game.
Overcoming an early deficit on the road? Now that’s something Cornell has done twice. Consecutively.
For the second straight Friday, junior goaltender Annelies Bergmann looked up to the scoreboard to see a very welcome number: zero.
“I just feel like we’re playing some pretty good hockey right now,” Jones said, “and that’s my focus.”
The men’s lightweight rowing team has been temporarily suspended due to a “recent incident,” according to a Wednesday email sent from Athletic Director Nicki Moore.
With 62 goals on 466 shots, the Red’s shooting percentage in wins is 13.2%, the same percentage as No. 3 Minnesota — who leads the nation in shooting percentage. In its losses, Cornell shoots an abysmal 3.2% (11 goals on 344 shots), which is tied with St. Michael’s for worst in the country.
The women's swim and dive team took down the Lions, while several women won gold in multiple events. Juniors Hojung Yoon, Erin DeHollander and Katie Yee all won their respective events against the Lions.
The Red fell to the University of Pennsylvania, 81-91, on Saturday,
Cornell closed the meet on the floor exercise with another strong showing. Junior captain Josie Moylan and senior Cami Whitaker tied for first in the event with scores of 9.800. It marked the second straight week Moylan posted the top floor score.
Jerome Holland ’38 M.S. ’41 was the first Black student to play for Cornell’s football team. He went on to be the president of multiple higher education institutions and served as an ambassador under the Nixon administration.
“I thought it took us a little bit to work ourselves into the game a little bit, but overall, I thought it was a good weekend of hockey for us,” said head coach Casey Jones ’90.
Though an early deficit didn’t phase Cornell (14-10-2, 10-7-1 ECAC) — the Red put up a consistent offensive front and notched a tying tally on the power play to end the first period — Harvard’s second-frame lead-taking goal and its netminder’s 48-save performance proved to be difference-makers in a frustrating 3-1 loss.
Cornell dominated possession from the puck drop, forcing Yale goaltender Noah Pak to make nine saves before the game’s seven-minute mark.
“[Dartmouth] brought a high battle level,” said head coach Doug Derraugh '91. “Early on, I thought our passing was kind of sloppy [and we] had a lot of turnovers. Gave them a few chances.”
There’s a specific reason why Derraugh’s interviews are becoming repetitive, and it helps explain the main difference so far between this season’s 13-9-2 record and last year's Frozen Four team.
“We've got to be road warriors for a little bit here,” Jones said. “We're looking forward to it.”
