BOSTON - Trailing 1-0 into the final minute of regulation, the visiting Vermont Catamounts (5-6-4, 3-2-3 WHEA) scored the game-tying goal with 53 seconds remaining, before scoring again 1:11 into overtime to hand the Northeastern women's hockey team (11-5-3, 7-3-2 WHEA) a tough 2-1 loss on Saturday at Matthews Arena.
Senior Heather Mottau scored her third goal in the last two games for Northeastern, while sophomore Brittany Bugalski made 33 saves.
The Catamounts held a 35-29 advantage in shots on goal and killed off all four NU power plays to snap an eight-game winless streak against the Huskies.
Goal Recaps
- The Huskies struck midway through the first period to take a 1-0 lead. On a rush up the left wing, freshman Matti Hartman threw the puck across the goal-mouth to senior Paige Savage, who furthered it along to Mottau at the right post for a shot that slipped by UVM netminder Melissa Black (28 saves) at the 9:48 mark.
- The scoreline held into the final minute of regulation when Vermont pulled Black for the extra attacker. Seconds later, Victoria Andreakos was able to shovel the puck home from the left slot after Daria O'Neill's point-shot caromed off the boards behind the net and popped out in front with 53 seconds remaining.
- Alyssa Gorecki then won it for the Catamounts 1:11 into overtime when her shot from between the circles hit the bottom of the crossbar, then went off the skate of an NU defenseman and into the net for the winner.
