BURLINGTON, Vt. – Eve-Audrey Picard scored twice and added an assist to propel the Vermont Catamounts (7-17-4, 4-11-3 WHEA) to a 5-2 victory over the Northeastern women's hockey team (13-11-3, 9-8-2 WHEA) on Friday evening at Gutterson Fieldhouse.

Senior Lauren Kelly notched her 20th collegiate goal to cancel out Picard's opener at the 9:09 mark of the first period, but the Catamounts surged ahead with three goals in the second stanza to put the game out of reach.

Senior Taytum Clairmont reduced the deficit to 4-2 with a power-play tally at 5:26 of the final frame, but Northeastern would get no closer as the hosts later iced the game on a Mackenzie MacNeil empty-netter in the waning seconds.
