Box Score  |  Season Statistics  |  Infographic  |  Highlights

DURHAM, N.H. – Sophomore Brittany Bugalski notched her fourth shutout of the season with 30 saves and juniors McKenna Brand and Denisa Krizova each added three points as the Northeastern women's hockey team (13-7-3, 9-5-2 WHEA) skated to a 3-0 win at New Hampshire (9-12-1, 7-7-1 WHEA) on Saturday at the Whittemore Center.

Brand scored twice in the second period to take over the national lead in goal scoring with 19 on the year, before setting up Krizova for the final goal as Northeastern improved to 8-0-1 on the road this season.

Bugalski was stellar from start to finish, stopping 13 of UNH's 30 shots in the final frame to preserve her seventh career shutout. 

Goal Recaps
• After a scoreless first period, Brand put the Huskies on the board at 12:12 of the middle frame when she snuck a rebound inside the left post following a centering feed from Krizova.
• Brand pushed the lead to 2-0 just over three minutes later with another rebound finish, this time tucking away a backhand after a Kasidy Anderson point shot on the power play. 
• Northeastern tacked on a third goal at 15:31 of the third period. Brand won a defensive-zone faceoff to Krizova, who skated up the ice on the right wing, before snapping a wrister past UNH netminder Hilary Cashin (28 saves) from the faceoff dot to make it 3-0.

Noteworthy
• Northeastern posted its fourth shutout of the season and second in the state of New Hampshire (3-0 at Dartmouth on Oct. 21).

• McKenna Brand took over the national lead in goal scoring with 19 on the year.
• Denisa Krizova's three-point game pushed her into a tie for 13th on NU's all-time scoring chart with 122 career points (tied with Vicky Sunohara and Rayanne Conway).
• Northeastern scored on the power play for the third straight game.
• The Huskies improved to 8-0-1 on the road this season.
