ABOUT NO. 9/9 HARVARDthe Crimson has been nationally ranked all season and has been in the top tier of the ECAC Hockey standings. After dropping its season-opener to Dartmouth, Harvard then went on a 7-0-1 streak, including a 3-0 blanking of then-no. 4/4 northeastern’s potent offense. However, the Crimson dropped three of its last four heading into the break, splitting a series with then-no. 10 Minnesota-Duluth and falling to conference foes Princeton and then-no. 4/4 Quinnipiac. the Crimson’s special teams have been absolutely dominant, ranking fourth nationally with 25 percent efficiency on the power play and third on the penalty kill with 92.9 percent efficiency. in addition, Harvard has yet to lose at the Bright-landry Center, going 5-0-1 on home ice. Despite having just a .500 record, senior goaltender Emerance Maschmeyer has been impressive, posting a 1.48 goals-against average and .954 save percentage. Preseason All-ECAC Hockey selection senior Miye D’Oench has continued to produce offensively with 17 points (8-9—17) in 13 games.
THE SERIES VS. HARVARDthe Crimson’s three wins over the Big red last season lifted Harvard to an all-time 55-26-4 advantage over Cornell. the Big red will be looking for vengeance this weekend; the last time the sides met was in last season’s ECAC Championship when the Crimson took a commanding 7-3 win to earn an automatic bid to the nCAA tournament. Cornell’s last win over Harvard came in the 2014 ECAC Hockey semifinal when the Big red defeated the Crimson 6-4 en route to a conference championship.
ABOUT DARTMOUTHthe Big Green had an impressive start to the season, defeating then-no. 5/5 Harvard, 2-1, in the opener to take over the tenth spot in both national polls. Dartmouth then tied then-no. 4/5 Clarkson a week later before shutting out Brown, rensselaer and union to climb the ECAC Hockey standings. since then, however, the Big Green has dropped seven straight, though four of those losses came at the hands of nationally ranked opponents, including a pair from then-no. 1/1 Wisconsin. Junior kennedy Ottenbreit (6-7—13) and senior laura stacey (5-8—13) are tied for the team lead in points while senior lindsey Allen leads the team in goals with eight. Junior robyn Chemago has played 14 games between the pipes, recording a 2.61 goals-against average and .912 save percentage.
THE SERIES VS. DARTMOUTHthe Big Green holds an all-time record of 42-30-7 over the Big red dating back to the 1970s. the sides split the season series in 2014-15, with each winning on the other’s ice. Goals from Jess Brown and sydney smith lifted Cornell to a 2-1 win on Jan. 23, 2014 before Dartmouth squeaked by with a 3-2 win on Feb. 14, 2014 behind 44 saves from Chemago. the loss snapped the Big red’s six-game unbeaten streak against the Big Green.

ON THE ROAD AGAINthe Big red is in the midst of a nine-game stretch away from lynah rink. Cornell will not play another home game until Jan. 15 when it hosts Yale. All of the Big red’s wins so far this season, though, have come on the road. the team is currently 6-3 away from ithaca.
PUTTING UP NUMBERSAfter averaging just a goal a game in October, the Big red has scored 27 goals over its last eight games, netting at least three in six contests over that span.

DOUG DERRAUGHHead Coach of Women’s Ice Hockey11th Season at Cornell • Cornell ‘91
Now entering his 11th season directing the Cornell women’s hockey program in 2015-16, Doug Derraugh has brought the Big Red women to their place among the nation’s elite. Taking a program that won just four games in the season prior to his arrival, Derraugh guided the Big Red to the nation-al title game in his fifth season and back-to-back-to-back NCAA Frozen Four appearances in 2010, 2011 and 2012, completely turning around the culture of the women’s hockey program at Cornell.
Derraugh has a 189-112-24 record in his first 10 seasons as the head coach of the Big Red, leading the team to five consecutive 20-win seasons for the first time in program history in 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-2014. Cornell has made the ECAC Hockey Tournament each of the last eight seasons, won the tournament four of the last six years and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in five of those seasons.
The 2010-11 Big Red squad set a Cornell record for the most wins ever by a Cornell hockey program, men’s or women’s, by winning 31 games. The Cor-nell women’s team also became the first women’s program in any sport at Cornell to make a second trip to that respective sport’s final four. In the 2011-12 season, Cornell again reached the 30-win mark and reached the Frozen Four in Duluth, Minn. Cornell returned to the NCAAs in 2013-14, claiming the ECAC Hockey Tournament championship for the fourth time in five years by beating Clarkson 1-0.
Derraugh has led the Big Red to four consecutive ECAC Hockey and Ivy League regular season titles between the 2009-2010 season and the 2012-2013 season, and four of the last five ECAC Hockey tournament titles. His peers have recognized his efforts, as Derraugh was named the 2010 AHCA Division I Coach of the Year, the 2011 ECAC Hockey Coach of the Year and the 2013 ECAC Hockey Coach of the Year.
Derraugh’s tireless efforts on the recruiting trail have paid off, as the Big Red has assembled an impressive array of talent. In just his first six seasons, Derraugh added eight players who were a member of the Canadian U22 National Team program, including one, Rebecca Johnston, who was a member of the Canadian National Team that won the gold medal at the 2010 Winter Olym-pics in Vancouver. Three other players in 2011-12 – Brianne Jenner, Laura Fortino and Lauriane Rougeau – were on the Canadian National Team roster for the 4 Nations Cup in November 2011 and November 2012, as well as the 2012 and 2013 IIHF Women’s World Championships in Burlington, Vt., and Ottawa, Ontario. Johnston, Jenner, Fortino and Rougeau all were also part of the Canadian National Team that won gold at the 2014 Sochi Olympics in Russia. The 2015-16 team features sev-eral players who have spent time with the senior

Canadian National Team: Hanna Bunton, Micah Hart and Cassandra Poudrier. Poudrier has also been drafted by the NWHL’s Connecticut Whale for the 2016-17 season.
In 2010, Derraugh led the Big Red to its first Ivy League title since 1996 and the program’s first-ever ECAC regular-season and tournament titles. The Big Red also won an ECAC playoff game and series for the first time in school history, then remained unbeaten with two more wins in the playoffs to advance to the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history.
Over the past six seasons, the Big Red has gone 22-2 in ECAC tournament play after having lost each of the first 14 playoff games in school history. Cornell has earned its success on the ice, leading the nation in penalty-killing percentage in both 2010 and 2011 and recording the nation’s top scor-ing defense in 2011 and the second-best scoring defense in 2013. The 2011-12 team had the nation’s best scoring offense and winning percentage.
With the team’s overall success, individual honors have followed. Cornell has had seven different players combine for 15 All-America honors over the past four seasons, led by the program’s first first-team honoree, Laura Fortino ‘13. Lauriane Rougeau ‘13 has also been named to the second team four times, Catherine White ‘12 earned one second-team mention in 2010 and Rebecca Johnston ‘12 earning a first-team nod in 2012 and second-team honors twice. Brianne Jenner was added to that list in 2013 when she was named a First Team All-American for the first time in her ca-reer, then she added a second honor in 2015. Jillian Saulnier added a first-team nod in 2014 along with Alyssa Gagliardi ’14 second-team honors.
Additionally, the Big Red picked up its first-ever ECAC Hockey Player of the Year honor in 2010 when White received the award. Johnston claimed the award in 2012, and Jenner earned it the following year. Cornell has also had the last six Ivy League Players of the Year (White - 2010; Fortino – 2011; Johnston – 2012; Jenner – 2013; Saulnier – 2014; Jenner – 2015) and seven of the last eight Ivy League Rookies of the Year (Johnston - 2008; White - 2009; Rougeau - 2010; Jenner – 2011; Saulnier – 2012; Hanna Bunton – 2014; Erin O’Connor – 2015).
The Big Red’s success from 2010-13 was the culmi-nation of the groundwork laid during the first four seasons under Derraugh’s direction. In 2008-09, he guided the Big Red to its second straight ECAC Hockey tournament appearance and a 12-14-5 overall record. In 2007-08, the Big Red claimed its first spot in the ECAC Hockey playoffs since the 2003-04 season, finishing the year with a 12-17-1 mark and an eighth-place finish in the league race.
A 1991 graduate of Cornell, Derraugh took over
the Big Red program after a 13-year career playing professionally in Europe, seeing action with nine different teams in some of the top leagues in Nor-way, Germany, Austria and Finland. He scored more than 100 points in a season twice and posted 30 points or more 10 times. He ended his professional career with 257 goals and 347 assists in 637 profes-sional contests. In his final season, Derraugh also served as special teams coach for his team.
While a student at Cornell, Derraugh played in all 119 contests for the Big Red over his four years, helping to lead the Big Red to an NCAA tourna-ment appearance and a second-place finish in the ECAC as a senior co-captain. He led the team in scoring in his final season with 30 goals and 36 assists, earning second-team All-Ivy League and honorable mention All-ECAC honors. His 30 goals in the 1990-91 season are the most ever scored by a senior at Cornell. Overall, he ranks 10th all-time at Cornell in career scoring with 153 points on 66 goals and 87 assists.
A native of Arnprior, Ontario, Derraugh graduated from Cornell in 1991 with a degree in biological sci-ences. He and his wife, Louise, have three children.

DANIEllE BIlODEAU Associate Head Coach of Women’s Ice Hockey10th Season at Cornell • Cornell ‘01
Danielle Bilodeau ‘01 begins her 10th season behind the bench with the Cornell women’s hockey team in 2015-16. Bilodeau, a former women’s hockey captain for the Big Red, has been a key part in the program’s rise to national promi-nence. She served as an assistant coach until she was promoted to Associate Head Coach for Women’s Hockey in February 2014.
Bilodeau, who joined the Cornell coaching staff in 2006, was instrumental in the recruitment of the Class of 2011, a quartet that helped the Big Red to a pair of NCAA Frozen Four appearances in 2010 and 2011. She also assisted in the recruitment of nine members of the Canadian U22 National Team over the past seven seasons.
With Bilodeau behind the Cornell bench, the Big Red has posted a record of 162-40-15 over the past six seasons, including four consecutive ECAC Hockey regular-season championships from the 2009-2010 season to the 2012-2013 season, and league tournament championships in 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014. Since her return to Ithaca, the Big Red has posted a 182-94-23 record through the 2014-15 season. Cornell has also gone an incredible 22-2 in ECAC Hockey tournament games over the past six seasons after having lost each of the school’s first 14 league tournament contests. Cornell has won four of the last six ECAC Hockey tournament championships in that time as well as four of the last six Ivy League championships.
Additionally, the Big Red has seen a host of players garner individual awards during Bilodeau’s tenure with the program. Cornell has had seven different players collect a total of 16 All-America awards, including three-time first-team selection Laura Fortino ‘13, two-time first-team selection Brianne Jenner ‘15, and four-time second-team selection Lauriane Rougeau ‘13. Cornell has also
EDITH RACINEAssistant Coach of Women’s Ice HockeySeventh Season at Cornell • Elmira ‘05
Edith Racine is in her seventh season as an assistant coach with the Cornell women’s hockey team in 2015-16. A former goaltender herself with a pair of national titles to her credit at Elmira College, she has been instrumental in the continual development of the Big Red’s netminders.
Under her direction, the Big Red has seen a dramatic improvement in its goaltenders. In 2012-13, Lauren Slebodnick took over the starting goaltend-ing role and had the country’s sixth-best goals against average, its sixth-best winning percentage and its 10th-best save percentage. Slebodnick finished her senior year in 2013-14 with the top spot in Cornell history for career wins with 68, fourth-most saves (1,668) and fourth-best save percentage (.924).
As her career came to a close in 2011-12, Amanda Mazzotta became the team’s then-all-time leader in wins (53). The tandem of Slebodnick and Mazzotta finished fourth and fifth in the country in goals against average during the 2011-12 campaign, and Slebodnick had the nation’s best winning percentage.
In 2010-11, Mazzotta finished as the national leader in goals-against average, allowing a mere 1.11 goals per game, with Mazzotta’s backup, Lauren Sle-bodnick, finishing second in the country with 1.15 goals allowed per game. The pair also finished second and third, respectively, in save percentage, with
had ten players named as nominees for the Patty Kazmaier Award, with three of them - Rebecca Johnston three times, Fortino and Jenner twice and Jillian Saulnier once - being selected as top 10 finalists for the award, and one being named a top 3 finalist (Saulnier).
Bilodeau returned to Ithaca after serving as an assistant coach at Princeton for four seasons, helping the Tigers to their first-ever NCAA tournament appear-ance in 2006. With the Tigers, she coached Andrea Kilbourne, who would go on to win a silver medal with the United States at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Nikola Holmes, who played for Germany in the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. In her four seasons at Princeton, the Tigers won at least 20 games three times and posted a combined record of 77-37-9.
Bilodeau has also coached extensively at summer camps, helping to run the Cornell ice hockey camps since her arrival and serving as a head coach at the Princeton camp for three summers as well as Bowdoin College’s clinic in 2004 and 2005. She was also a coach for the Pacific Steelers Showcase in 2005.
Bilodeau was a four-year letterwinner for the Big Red, earning All-Ivy League honors as a sophomore and serving as team captain as a senior. She was the re-cipient of the Cornell Athletic Department’s Jeff Stenstrom Memorial Award as a freshman and was a nominee for the Hockey Humanitarian Award. Bilodeau was also an Academic All-ECAC Hockey selection and a member of both the Red Key Athletic Honorary Society and the Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC). After graduating in 2001 with a degree in communication, she played one season with the Beatrice Aeros of the NWHL, helping that team to a league and Ontario championship while reaching the finals of the Canadian national tournament.
both netminders stopping better than 94 percent of the shots faced during the season.
In 2009-10, Racine’s first season with the team, Mazzotta picked up a spot on the all-tournament team at the NCAA championships, setting a champion-ship game record for most saves in a game. That season, she finished sixth in the nation in goals-against average (1.53) and 11th in save percentage (.928), but led the nation with 11 shutouts, the most in a single season by a Cornell goaltender, male or female.
Before joining the Big Red prior to the 2009-10 season, Racine, a 2005 graduate of Elmira College, coached for two seasons at Brown University, first as a volunteer assistant during the 2007-08 season and then as a full-time as-sistant coach in 2008-09. Under her guidance, Brown goaltender Nicole Stock posted a .922 save percentage last year, good for 16th in the nation and sixth in ECAC Hockey. Her coaching career also includes six summers as the head goaltending instructor at the Elite Hockey Camp in Hanover, N.H.
As a player, Racine played four seasons with the Elmira College women’s hockey team, guiding her squad to a pair of national titles and a national run-ner-up finish. She was twice named All-American by the American Collegiate Hockey Association.
