COACH'S QUOTE
"We had some good flashes out there today, but couldn't solve the Ottawa goalie," said head coach Jim Plumer. "This is a good learning experience for this team. Credit to Ottawa as they played hard and were very opportunistic. We need to put that opportunistic play into our playbook."
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• Blanka Škodová saw action in the first period and tallied seven saves to keep the game scoreless through the opening 20 minutes.
• In the second period UOttawa's Todd and Alexe Clavelle scored within a two-minute span of one another to put the Gee-Gees up 2-0. Natalie Ferenc made three saves in net for Vermont in the middle frame.
• Vermont battled to even up the game in the third period with a 15-4 shot advantage in the frame. Theresa Schafzahl whistled a shot through traffic with 6:59 left in regulation that fooled UOttawa's Aurelie Dubuc (33 saves), but trickled wide of the goal.
• The Catamounts brought on the extra attacker in the waning minutes of the third period, but UOttawa's Marimée Godbout-Parent scored on the open net to pad the lead.

NOTES

• Natalie Ferenc (3 saves) and Sierra Natzke (3 saves) were in net for Vermont in the second and third periods, respectively.
• Maude Poulin-Labelle and Hailey Burns both had a team-high five shots on goal.
