NORTH ANDOVER, Mass.— Making her first career start in goal, junior Paige Taborski led the No. 14 Northeastern women's hockey team to a 4-0 victory over the Merrimack Warriors on Friday night at Lawler Rink.
 
Taborski made 12 saves in goal in her first start and win. She is the first Husky goaltender since fifth year Gwyneth Philips in 2019 to pitch a shutout in her first career start. Fifth year Katy Knoll and graduate students Peyton Anderson and Megan Carter all had multi-point games.

• Sophomore Jules Constantinople got the scoring started with a power-play goal at the 9:09 mark of the first period. Constantinople's third goal of the season came off assists from Knoll and Carter.
• The Huskies' doubled their lead in the second period, with freshman Ella Blackmore burying one top shelf. Blackmore was assisted by Carter and sophomore Lily Brazis.
• Just 12 seconds into the third period, Knoll pushed the Huskies' lead to 3-0. Knoll's linemates Peyton Anderson and junior Skylar Irving claimed helpers on the goal.
• Peyton Anderson closed out the scoring with her 12th goal of the season, a career-high, to bring the final score to 4-0. Her empty-netter came from Knoll winning the puck along the boards and playing up to Anderson.

Northeastern will host Merrimack on Saturday, Jan. 27 at 7:30 p.m. in Matthews Arena.
