HOCKEY EAST HEADLINES
Junior forward Alina Mueller (Winterthur, Switzerland) dished out two game-winning assists for Northeastern in two games last week. She enjoyed a three-point game on Sunday in a 4-3 overtime win against Maine, including the set up to the overtime strike. Maureen Murphy (Buffalo, N.Y.) made her Huskies debut on Sunday, scoring a goal in her first outing in the black and red.
UConn swept New Hampshire with a pair of shutouts. Tia Chan (Hamilton, Ont.) did not allow a goal for the second time in her career. While Chan was not officially credited with a shutout due to an equipment issue that required her to relinquish 33 seconds of game time in net, she stopped all 24 shots on net from UNH.
Boston College picked up two more wins in league play, toppling Holy Cross in a home-and-home series. Kelly Browne (Burlington, Mass.) led Hockey East last weekend with four points on one goal and three assists. She dished out the primary assist on the game-winning goal in a 3-2 win over Holy Cross on Friday before enjoying a three-point game (1g, 2a) in a road win over the Crusaders on Saturday.
