WHAT HAPPENED
- Taylor Willard ripped a slap shot from the high slot into the upper-right corner of the net with 72 seconds left in regulation to break the 1-1 tie and lift the Catamounts to victor
- UNH took a 1-0 lead at 2:41 of the first period when Sara Carlson (Hutchinson, Minn.) circled from the left half-boards behind the net to the top of the slot and blasted a rising shot into the net.
- Vermont tied the score just 42 seconds later on a goal by Saana Valkama. Willard initiated the scoring sequence with a pass out of the defensive zone to Sarah Kelly, who advanced along the left wing before saucering a pass to Valkama in the slot.
- UNH pulled Kyra Smith (Littleton, Colo.) with 65 seconds to play but was unable to sustain possession in the offensive zone. The Wildcats were limited to one shot the rest of the way, and Litchfield made that save against Cassandra Vilgrain (Calgary, Albert) to preserve the win.
NOTABLE
- Carlson extended her point streak to four games (2-2-4)
- Kate Haslett (Rothesay, New Brunswick) fired a shot from the slot that beat Litchfield but clanged off the right post. After an official review, the score remained tied 1-1 at 6:30 of the second period.
