NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Meghara McManus (Milton, Mass.) led a balanced offense with three points to propel the University of New Hampshire women's hockey team to Saturday afternoon's 5-3 victory against Yale University at Ingalls Rink.

UNH won its third consecutive game, extended its unbeaten streak to five games (4-0-1) and remained unbeaten (20-0-1) against Yale to improve to 8-11-1 overall. Yale is 4-7-2.

The three assists and three points both marked personal bests for McManus, who was one of four Wildcats with multiple points. Nicole Dunbar (Coto de Caza, Calif.), Kate Haslett (Rothesay, New Brunswick) and Carlee Turner (Scottsdale, Ariz.) all tallied a goal and an assist.

Hilary Cashin (Fredericton, New Brunswick) finished with 21 saves. Yale starting goalie Hanna Mandl stopped 11 of 14 shots in one period. Tera Hofmann played the final two periods and stopped 20 of 22 shots, but was charged with the loss.
