Women's Ice Hockey: Norwich Remains Unbeaten With 4-3 Win At Southern Maine

PORTLAND, Maine - Courtney Parisot scored the game-winning goal late in the second period, and Chiara Traversa made 17 saves as the Norwich University women's ice hockey team overcame an early 2-0 deficit to defeat Southern Maine, 4-3, in an ECAC East contest Saturday afternoon.

Parisot scored off an assist from Kelsey Cone with just 1:46 to play in the second period, and Traversa stopped both shots that she faced in the third period to make it stand up and help the Cadets improve to 3-0 (2-0 ECAC East).

Southern Maine (0-2, 0-2 ECAC East) jumped all over Norwich, scoring a pair of goals within the first seven minutes of the game to take a 2-0 lead at the 6:56 mark of the first period.

Norwich goals by Amanda Wilks and Cone in a span of less than three minutes midway through the first period tied the score at 2-2, but the Huskies reclaimed the lead at 13:50 of the first. Brittane Michaud capped an entertaining first period when she tied the score at 3-3 at the 15:17 mark.

Cone finished with one goal and two assists, while Julie Fortier dished out a pair of assists.

Traversa stopped 17 of the 20 shots that she faced as the sophomore net minder improves to 3-0 on the young season.

Norwich outshot Southern Maine, 35-20.

Norwich returns to the friendly confines of Kreitzberg Arena next weekend (Nov. 13-14), when the Cadets battle ECAC East foes St. Anselm and New England College.
