BOSTON - Hannah Davis scored the game-winning
goal with less than three minutes to play in regulation, and Leah
Hallett made 42 saves to lead UMass-Boston past Norwich, 2-1, in an
ECAC East women's ice hockey game Friday afternoon.
Norwich (9-2-2, 8-2-2 ECAC East) outshot UMass-Boston 43-22 in
the game, but Hallett was able to keep the Cadets' high-scoring
offense at bay.
The game was scoreless after two periods, but the Beacons
(8-7-0, 6-4-0) moved on top 1-0 at 7:46 of the third when Rachel
Sousa scored off an assist from Maria Nasta.
The Cadets tied the game at 1-1 less than five minutes later
when sophomore F Julie Fortier scored an unassisted short-handed
goal at the 12:36 mark.
Norwich was whistled for a penalty with 3:12 to play, and
UMass-Boston cashed in with Davis' goal with just 2:21 remaining.
Sousa and Lauren Duran picked up assists on the goal.
Norwich will be back in action on Saturday, Jan. 16, when the
Cadets travel to Purchase, N.Y., to take on Manhattanville College
at 7 p.m.
