COACH'S QUOTE
"Tough battle today but we got beat fair and square," said Head Coach
Jim Plumer. "It was good to be able to create offense and score goals against one of the best teams in the country and especially to get our power play going. We will look to build on this weekend."
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Vermont opened scoring on the power play with just 1:35 remaining on the clock in the first period, seeing Josie Hemp find Linnéa Misner skating down the boards, who flew down the wing and fed Kaylee Lewis back post. Lewis buried her third goal of the season, earning the Catamounts a 1-0 lead heading into the first intermission.
- The Huskies bounced back in the second period when Grace Sadura tallied her tenth goal of the season 4:33 into the middle frame, knotting the score at 1-1.
- 7:31 into the second period, the Catamounts struck again when Rose-Marie Brochu won a clean faceoff back to Zoe Charland on the short side dot in the Huskie zone. Charland wasted no time rifling a shot past the glove of Lisa Jonsson, scoring her third goal on the campaign to lift Vermont back in front, 2-1.
- Lily McInerney found another equalizer for Northeastern 10:27 into the second period, scoring her third goal of the season, knotting the contest at 2-2.
- Northeastern gained its first lead of the game 1:06 into the final period, seeing Allie Lalonde notch her fifth goal of the season, gaining the Huskies a 3-2 advantage.
- Ella Lloyd made it 4-2 in favor of Northeastern 7:47 into the third period off a tip-in goal. Allard and McInerney were awarded assists on the Huskies' fourth goal.
- With less than two minutes to play with regulation while UVM had an empty net, Lauren O'Hara dangled her way through multiple Huskie defenders down low, maneuvering towards the slot where she whipped a shot towards goal. Her shot rang off the post crossbar, seeming to go straight down and across the goal line, but after review, it was deemed no goal.
- The Catamounts battled to the very end, but when the final buzzer rang it was Northeastern that skated away with the 4-2 victory from Gutterson Fieldhouse.
