ROCHESTER, NY – Four different goal scorers led the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) women's hockey team to a 4-1 victory over Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) at the Gene Polisseni Center on Saturday afternoon.

Rensselaer (2-4) scored twice in the opening 4:10. Junior Jaimie Grigsby had a goal and two assists, while Shayna Tomlinson added a goal and an assist. Amanda Kimmerle and Madeline Burnett also scored for the Engineers, while Lovisa Selander made 32 saves.

Kendall Cornine  scored RIT's lone goal for the second straight game. Stella Haberman assisted on Cornine's goal for her first collegiate point. In net, Jessi O'Leary made 30 saves.

Rensselaer out-shot RIT, 34-33. The Engineers were 1-for-4 on the power-play, while RIT was 0-for-1.

Burnett opened the scoring just 49 seconds into the game, as her long shot from the left point floated over O'Leary and in for her second goal of the season. Just over three minutes later, Kimmerle beat O'Leary with a shot from the slot to make it 2-0.

Cornine would draw RIT to within one just before the halfway point of the first period, as she fired home a rebound after Selander stopped the initial shot by Haberman.
Grigsby would give Rensselaer its two-goal lead back on a power-play early in the second period.

In the third, RIT would try to mount a comeback, but Selander would make a handful of key stops, including two on Cornine from point-blank range midway through the frame.

Tomlinson put the game away with her second goal of the weekend with 2:58 left in regulation.

RIT leads the all-time series between the two schools, 15-12-4.

 RIT is back in action on Friday against Yale (2pm), while the Engineers are off until October 27 and 28, when they welcome Yale (3pm) and Brown (3pm) to the Houston Field House.
