NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale women's hockey team blanked Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), 3-0, at Ingalls Rink. The win puts the Bulldogs at 9-1-1 overall and 5-1-1 in the ECAC, while the Engineers fell to 4-14-1 overall and 0-7-1 in the conference.
 
How It Happened

• Yale got on the board at the 3:56 mark of the first period. Jordan Ray corralled the puck in the corner and found Elle Hartje sitting all alone in front of the net. RPI's goalie bit on Hartje's nifty move before she buried it in the back of the net.
• Hartje continued to put in the work in the second period. The Bulldogs' second goal came at 8:33 of the period and saw her spin off the boards, break through a defender and dish a pass to Ray, who was camped out on the right side of goal.
• On the powerplay in the third period, Hartje rounded the back of the net, found Ray, who slotted it up to Vita Poniatovskaia at the point. Poniatovskaia launched one on net for Anna Bargman to tip in for the three-goal lead.
