Maddie Brown scores for the Tommies in a loss to the Big Red
ARLINGTON, Va. -- The St. Thomas Women's Hockey team traveled to Arlington, Va. to play in the D1 in DC tournament at the MedStar Capitals Iceplex. In game one, the Tommies faced No. 8 Cornell for the first time in program history.
Maddie Brown scored a third period goal for St. Thomas, but the Cornell Big Red ultimately defeated the Tommies 4-1 in game one of the tournament.
RECAP
Scoreless through the first 10 minutes of action, Cornell scored two goals in the final half of the first period to take the early lead over the Tommies.
Eight minutes into the first period, Cornell was sent to the penalty box, and St. Thomas went on the first power play of the game. Shortly after the Tommies' power play ended, Cornell scored their first goal of the evening. Two minutes later, the Big Red added their second goal of the game.
Cornell went into the first intermission with a 2-0 lead over the Purple.
In the first seven minutes of the second period, the Tommies were sent to the box twice, and successfully killed both penalties. However, three minutes after Cornell's second power play, the Big Red scored an even strength goal and extended their lead, 3-0. Through two periods of play, Cornell led in shots on goal, 19-7.
Cornell scored their fourth and final goal of the night on the power play roughly three minutes into the final period.
With six minutes remaining in the game, freshman, Maddie Brown tipped a shot by Ellah Hause to score her third of the season.
The Tommies ended the game with 14 shots on net, including seven in the third period. Calla Frank made 23 saves on 27 shots on goal for the Purple.

QUOTABLE
"I thought we battled and competed today," Head Coach Joel Johnson said. "Cornell is a really good team. I thought they out competed us in transition early in the game, and that's what led to a lot of chances for them. Whether it was a power play or scoring off the rush, they just generated a lot. Cornell is fast, and as we got used to that style of play, I thought we got better and better, and I thought the third period was our best."

Puck drop is set for Saturday, Nov. 25th at 1:00 p.m. ET/12:00 p.m. CT at the MedStar Capitals Iceplex.
