CORTLAND, N.Y. – The nationally 15th-ranked Cortland women's ice hockey team scored three goals in a two minute, eight second span late in the third period to break a tie game in earning a 4-1 victory in SUNYAC action Friday night at Alumni Arena. The Red Dragons improved to 15-3-2 overall and 10-2-1 in the conference. The Lakers dropped to 8-9-1 and 6-4-1.

Junior Mia Hlasnick (Olean/Niagara Jr. Purple Eagles) registered a goal and an assist for Cortland, while junior Natalie O'Brien (Lockport/Niagara Jr. Purple Eagles), sophomore Fanny Aneborn (Linkoping, Sweden/Lulea HF Sweden) and freshman Drew Kopek (Rome/Syracuse Valley Eagles) each added a goal. Graduate student Dany Donegan (Cicero/Syracuse Nationals) and senior Jillian Hlasnick (Olean/Niagara Jr. Purple Eagles) collected assists.

Hull gave the Lakers the lead at 7:51 of the first period, scoring on a rebound in front on the power play. Late in the first period and spanning into early in the second period, Cortland had a two-player skating advantage on the power play for 1:32, but Levy turned aside five shots to keep the Red Dragons off the scoreboard. Hlasnick evened the score at the 8:27 mark of the period, picking off a pass in the Laker defensive zone and beating Levy with a shot one-on-one.

With 4:39 left in the period, a Cortland player was penalized for covering the puck in the crease, which led to an Oswego penalty shot. Goergen came up with a save on senior Rachel Corbett to keep the score tied at 1-1.

Aneborn netted the game winner at 16:44 of the third period with a rebound goal. O'Brien made it a 3-1 score at 18:06 when her intended pass deflected toward goal where Levy knocked the puck into the net. Just 46 seconds later, Kopek sealed the win when she fired a shot over Levy's glove after an Oswego turnover in its defensive zone for the 4-1 victory.
