GAME RECAP
- UNH scored goals 96 seconds apart early in the second period to quickly transform a scoreless game into a 2-0 lead. Curtis corralled a loose puck in the high slot, skated toward goal and chipped a shot inside the right post at 1:15; Tori Howran (Bancroft, Ontario) set up the sequence with a pass behind the net off the end boards to Julia Fedeski (Algonquin Highlands, Ontario), who passed the puck through the neutral zone to Curtis.
- Marie-Jo Pelletier (Dalhousie, New Brunswick) gave the Wildcats a two-goal advantage at 2:51 when she shoveled a shot from the low slot into the open left side of the net. Praus, who advanced the puck from the right doorstep, and Taylor were credited with assists.
- Amy Schlagel (Blaine, Minn.) extended the lead to 3-0 at 11:56 of the third period. On a faceoff to Jackson's right, Taylor drew the puck back to the slot and Schlagel ripped a shot into the upper-right corner.
- Kara Washer's outstanding individual effort lifted Maine within 3-1 at 15:17. She stripped the puck in the neutral zone, sidestepped another Wildcat and skated down the slot before deking Cashin and tucking the puck inside the right post.
- With Jackson pulled for the second time to give the Black Bears a skater advantage, Curtis' pass off the right half-boards found Taylor in the slot and she snapped a shot into the open cage to reestablish a three-goal lead of 4-1 with 35 seconds to play. Praus, who won possession of the puck in the right corner, tallied the secondary assist.
