Harvard outshot Cornell during the game 46-17, as the Crimson offense blistered Cornell goaltender Flora Vineberg with shot after shot. Beth Baronick relieved Vineberg for the final 15 minutes of the game.
On the other end of the ice, Vitt struggled early but improved as the game moved on.
“It’s hard for a goalie when she’s facing minimal shots,” said Corriero. “I thought that she did make a couple of key saves.”
The win had special significance for sophomore defenseman Jennifer Skinner, who was facing her twin sister Andrea, a sophomore winger for Cornell, for the second straight year.
“I don’t love playing against Andrea but I do love playing Cornell because we get to see each other,” Skinner said. “We played together our entire lives before college and only last year did we play against each other.”
Despite the hockey rivalry that exist between the two schools, there is not an intense sibling rivalry between the Skinners.
“In the end you just play with a little moxie and things take care of themselves,” Skinner said.
