Saturday Highlights
 
She netted the second goal of her collegiate career on Saturday, helping Vermont complete a 5-1 victory over Syracuse. She closed out the scoring with a nifty individual effort in the final minute of regulation. Blais-Savoie knocked down a clearance attempt in the Orange's zone and skated into the slot before wiring a shot off the post and in for her second of the year with just 21 seconds remaining. Vermont has scored 16 goals in its last four games, including two from Blais-Savoie, and is 3-0-1 over that stretch.
 
The Catamounts hit the road next weekend in Hockey East play as they travel to the Whittemore Center to face New Hampshire in a two-game series. The teams will faceoff at 6 p.m. on Friday, December 3 and then again on Saturday at 2 p.m. Both games will air for free on CollegeSportsLive.
