Regular season

  • In her first three career NCAA games, Jillian Saulnier registered ten points (seven goals, three assists), along with a +6 rating. In her college debut versus the Colgate Raiders women's ice hockey program, Saulnier netted four goals. In her next game versus the Yale Bulldogs, she registered one goal and two assists, while scoring two goals in her third game versus the Brown Bears women's ice hockey squad. For the month of October 2011, she was tied for first in the ECAC in goals scored (while the other player appeared in eight games).[6]
  • October 25: In a 6-2 triumph over the Colgate Raiders, freshman Jillian Saulnier scored four goals in her NCAA debut.[7] It was the first four-goal game for Cornell since Jessica Campbell scored four against Robert Morris in the second game of the 2010-11 season. The Big Red held a 64-12 advantage in shots on goal while also winning faceoffs by a margin of 53-27. The 64 shots were the most the Big Red took since a Feb. 6, 2000 contest against Union.
  • October 29: In a 9-0 win versus ECAC opponent Brown, Big Red freshman Emily Fulton scored her first career NCAA goal. At game's end, Big Red skaters totalled 23 points, as Brianne Jenner and Hayleigh Cudmore led the way with three points each.[8]
  • November 1: For the third consecutive contest, the Big Red scored at least nine goals in one game. Senior captain Chelsea Karpenko appeared in her 100th career game, as Jillian Saulnier led all Big Red players with two goals and three assists in a 9-2 triumph over the Syracuse Orange women's ice hockey program.[9]
  • January 2012: The Big Red announced their NCAA commitments for autumn 2012. The players that have committed to join the Big Red include Jessica Brown (of the Pittsburgh Elite), Kelly Murray, Victoria Pittens, Cassandra Poudrier (from Dawson College), Morgan Richardson (older sister of the late Daron Richardson), and Anna Zorn.
