BOSTON – The visiting St. Lawrence Saints (1-0-0) scored three goals in a five-minute span in the first period to race past the No. 9 Northeastern women's hockey team (0-1-0), 5-0, on Friday evening at Matthews Arena. 

Brooke Webster notched a hat trick for the Saints, while linemates Kennedy Marchment and Hannah Miller each recorded three assists.

Sophomore netminder Brittany Bugalski made 30 saves as St. Lawrence held a 35-25 advantage in shots on goal.

Goal Recaps
• St. Lawrence took the lead just 2:14 into the game when Webster found a loose puck at the top of the crease and shoveled a backhand past a sprawling Bugalski through heavy traffic. 
• Kalie Grant doubled the St. Lawrence lead at 6:41 on a tic-tac-toe setup from Maggie McLaughlin and Nadine Edney in the low slot. 
• Webster tacked on a third goal in a span of 5:03 when she picked up the puck in the left corner, cut hard to the net, and lifted a backhand over the shoulder of Bugalski to make it 3-0 at 7:17.
• Webster then completed the hat trick at 9:43 of the second period when she roofed a centering pass from Kennedy Marchment that was tipped at the top of the crease by Hannah Miller. 
• St. Lawrence made it 5-0 just 1:55 into the third period. After Bugalski stoned Kayla Vespa on a breakaway, Vespa was able to collect the puck behind the NU net and center for Justine Reyes to fire home at the left of the cage.
