Goal Recaps• Herrington put the Huskies on the board first with a power-play goal at 7:34 of the first period. After some good puck movement from point to point, senior
Jordan Krause blasted a shot from just inside the blue line that Herrington was able to deflect home in front for the 1-0 lead.
• Northeastern added a second goal in the waning minutes of the period to take a 2-0 advantage into the first intermission. Sophomore
Denisa Krizova cycled to the high slot before laying a feed to Hartman at the top of the right circle. The freshman then unleashed a quick wrister through traffic that beat Toronto netminder Katie Mowbray at the 18:42 mark.
• Zalewski tacked on a third goal at the end of the second period to give the Huskies additional breathing room on the scoreboard. Krause initiated the play with a feed up the right boards to freshman
Kasidy Anderson, who spotted a streaking Zalewski open on the left wing. Zalewski took the tape-to-tape feed and cut to the net, before slipping a shot through the pads of netminder Danielle Toland at the 18:50 mark.
• Scamurra made it 4-0 seven minutes into the third period with a pretty deflection in the low slot following a point shot by sophomore
Ainsley MacMillan.
• Three minutes later, NU pushed the lead to 5-0 when redshirt junior
Paige Savage slipped a feed to Brand at the right of the net for a shot that squeezed inside the right post from a tough angle.
