Northeastern forward Kathleen Savino scored the game-winning goal midway through the third period as the Huskies (10-2, 7-1 ECAC) went on to defeat Princeton (4-6-2, 2-6-2) for the second time this year, 3-1.
Savino's goal, putting Northeastern up 2-0, just squeaked between the goalpost and Princeton goalie Megan Van Beusekom's glove. The Huskies, ranked No. 8 in Division I, scored a power-play goal with 7:32 remaining in the second period to get on the board
first.
The Tigers cut the lead to one on an Abbey Fox goal near the start of the third period, but Northeastern sealed the victory on an empty netter with three seconds left.
Providence 2, Yale 0
A vastly dominant Providence College squad (11-2-2, 7-2-2) dominated Yale (1-11-0, 1-9-0), cruising to a 2-0 triumph. In a game ruled by newcomers, freshman forwards Darlene Stephenson and Gayle Shalloo each scored on Yale's fellow frosh goaltender Amy Quinlan to give the Friars the victory. Providence next plays on Jan. 7 against Wisconsin in the first round of the Lake Placid Tournament.
