ORONO, Maine – The Northeastern women's hockey team (13-9-3, 9-7-2 WHEA) scored three power-play goals in the third period, but could not overcome a three-goal deficit as Maine (8-14-1, 4-10-1 WHEA) skated to a 6-3 victory over the Huskies on Saturday afternoon at Alfond Arena.

The Huskies trailed 4-1 midway through the third, before two Denisa Krizova goals in a span of 12 seconds cut the deficit to 4-3. Northeastern would get no closer, however, as Maine scored the final two goals, including an empty-netter in the final minute, to earn the weekend sweep.

Sophomore Kasidy Anderson also scored for the Huskies, while senior Sarah Foss made 19 saves in net.

Goal Recaps
• Maine got on the board first at 13:35 of the first period when Jessica Vallotton wristed a shot home from center ice.
• The Black Bears doubled the advantage with 25 seconds to play in the opening frame when Brooke Stacey snuck a shot inside the left post from a tough angle at the left of the cage.

• Northeastern responded at 1:12 of the third period on a power-play goal by Anderson. After a wrap-around attempt by junior Halle Silva was stopped, the puck trickled into space in the crease and Anderson hammered it home to make it 3-1.

• Maine had the final say, however, as Matteau sprung Catherine Tufts for a breakaway goal to make it 5-3 at 16:20, before Emilie Brigham tacked on an empty-netter at 19:09 to round out the scoring.
