BURLINGTON, Vt. – Senior Kendall Coyne passed Hilary Witt as Northeastern's all-time leading goal scorer as the No. 7/8 Huskies (13-4-1, 9-2-0 WHEA) rallied by Vermont (3-15-0, 3-7-0 WHEA), 2-1, on Saturday at Gutterson Fieldhouse.

The Huskies trailed, 1-0, into the third period, before Coyne tied the game on a shorthanded breakaway to pass Witt with her 114th career goal.

Boston College's Alex Carpenter also passed Stack on Saturday and shares the all-time lead with Coyne with half of the season still to play.

Less than two minutes after Coyne's equalizer, sophomore McKenna Brand completed the comeback with a snipe from the left circle to help the Huskies secure the season sweep of Vermont with a gutsy win. 

Junior netminder Sarah Foss was outstanding for the second straight game, making 26 stops to earn her third victory of the season.
