HANOVER, N.H. – Sophomore goaltender
Brittany Bugalski pitched her third shutout in the last six games to help the Northeastern women's hockey team (5-2-1) extend its unbeaten run to six consecutive contests in a 3-0 blanking of Dartmouth (0-1-0) on Friday night at Thompson Arena.
Bugalski turned aside all 19 Dartmouth shots to lower her goals against average to a sparkling 1.41 clip on the season. Over her last six games, Bugalski has stopped 142 of 147 shots–good for a .966 save percentage.
The Huskies' offense did its part at the other end of the ice as sophomore
Kasidy Anderson, junior
Halle Silva and junior
Denisa Krizova each lit the lamp.
Northeastern outshot Dartmouth by a 34-19 margin, including a 15-1 advantage in the second period.
Goal Recaps
• The Huskies took the lead at the 10:03 mark of the second period when freshman
Codie Cross sprung Anderson loose on a breakaway with a long outlet pass through the neutral zone. Anderson collected the disc, shifted forehand to backhand, and beat Dartmouth netminder Robyn Chemago (31 saves) to make it 1-0 NU.
• Northeastern tacked on an insurance marker at 10:57 of the third period on a beautiful passing play. Sophomore
Maddie Hartman collected the puck at the point and swung a pass to senior
Heather Mottau at the left of the Dartmouth cage. Mottau quickly moved the disc across the crease to Silva, who fired home a one-timer to make it 2-0.
• Krizova then added an empty-netter with six seconds remaining, wristing a shot home from an impossible angle at the right of the Dartmouth net.
