Ingram, for her part, assisted on Corriero’s first two goals and combined with her freshman linemate to assist Sweet’s goal in the third.
Second period goals from Sweet and Pell would force Yale goalie Katie Hirte from the game. Her replacement, Nicollete Franck, would only allow one goal.
Kuusisto needed to make only eight saves in Yale’s 10-shot effort. The Crimson recorded 44 shots in the blowout
“It just proves that there isn’t any dropoff from last year. A lot of people said that we were a one or two person team,” Stone said referring to Canadian Olympians Jennifer Botterill ’02-’03 and Tammy Shewchuk ’00-’01. “These kids aren’t buying it. Everyone’s contributing here.”
Ingram and Corriero were especially up to the challenge of replacing the Olympians. Ingram leads the nation in assists per game with 1.11. Corriero leads all freshmen in goals and points, and is second in the nation in goals per game with 2.21.
