NORTHFIELD, Vt. - Danika Williams scored a power play goal 2:19  into overtime to lift Salve Regina to a 2-1 victory over Norwich in an ECAC East women's ice hockey quarterfinal game Saturday afternoon at Kreitzberg Arena.

The fifth-seeded Seahawks (11-13-2) move into the ECAC East semifinals, where they will face No. 1 seed Manhattanville next weekend. The fourth seeded Cadets see their inaugural varsity season come to an end with a very respectable overall record of 12-10-2.

Salve Regina opened the scoring at the 4:43 mark of the first period when Molly Golden netted a power play goal to put the Seahawks on top, 1-0. The marker, Golden's 13th of the season, came off a feed from Caitlin Campbell. Campbell had the puck behind the net, and threw it in front to Golden, who snapped a quick shot past Norwich goaltender Cindy Fortin.

Norwich knotted the score at 1-1 midway through the second period when Sophie Leclerc tallied a power play goal at the 11:21 mark. The goal, which was Leclerc's team-leading 13th of the season, came off an assist from freshman forward Kelsey Cone. Cone started the play when her shot went wide and came right to Leclerc at the left point. The junior forward wasted no time blasting the puck toward the net, and after it deflected off a Salve Regina defender, it snuck past Seahawks' goalie Lauren Barella.

Neither team was able to score in the third period, despite several quality chances. Norwich outshot Salve Regina, 13-5, in the stanza, but the Cadets were unable to push anything across. NU goalie Cindy Fortin made a couple of tremendous saves to keep the score tied.

The Cadets took two penalties early in the overtime, and the Seahawks were able to convert on the five-on-three situation to score the game-winning goal.

Norwich outshot Salve Regina, 25-19, for the game. Fortin took the loss for the Cadets, despite 17 big saves. Barella made 24 saves en route to the victory.
