HAMDEN, Conn. – The Quinnipiac women's ice hockey team lost to the No. 4/4 Cornell, 4-1, on Saturday afternoon. The Bobcats came within one goal in the second period, but the Big Red would score two goals in the third period and earn the 4-1 victory.

Senior Sarah-Eve Coutu-Godbout scored her ninth goal of the season, which is ties her career-high in a season. Senior Abbie Ives tallied 25 saves.

The student-athletes all skated together at the end of the game to form a heart at center ice. Quinnipiac and Cornell worked to promote positive mental health awareness at the annual DIFD game (Do It For Daron), and the Bobcats raised funds to give to mental health initiatives on campus.
