BURLINGTON, Vt. – The Northeastern women's hockey team (10-3-2, 6-1-1 WHEA) erased a two-goal, third-period deficit to earn a hard-fought 3-3 tie at Vermont (3-5-3, 2-2-2 WHEA) on Friday afternoon at Gutterson Fieldhouse. 

Trailing 3-1 into the final frame, Northeastern was able to force overtime when senior Hayley Scamurra and sophomore Kasidy Anderson scored two goals in a two-minute span midway through the period. 

The Huskies nearly won the contest in the final seconds of the extra session, but UVM netminder Madison Litchfield (24 saves) made a big save on senior Hayley Masters' wrister as time expired.

Senior Heather Mottau led NU with a goal and an assist on the day, while junior Denisa Krizova earned an assist to extend her point streak to 14 straight games.
