RUTLAND, Vt. - The Norwich University women's ice hockey team skated to 3-3 tie with Castleton University on Friday night in New England Hockey Conference (NEHC) action at Spartan Arena.

KC Herne (Akwesasne, N.Y.), Adrieana Rossini (Malden, Mass.) and Blossom Truel (Stratford, Wis.) each scored goals to lead the Cadets' offense on the day. 

Castleton (4-12-3, 4-4-2 NEHC) battled back from three separate one-goal deficits to earn the tie against the Cadets, snapping Norwich's 29-game winning streak vs. NEHC opponents. 

Herne gave Norwich a 1-0 lead just 1:22 into the game off assists from Samantha Benoit (Bow, N.H.) and Robyn Foley (Goulds, Newfoundland and Labrador). 

After Castleton tied the game at 1-1, Truel scored her second goal of the season off an assist from Jess Piracini (Arlington, Mass.) to give Norwich a 2-1 lead going into the first intermission.

Castleton tied the game late in the second period, only to have Rossini give Norwich a 3-2 lead just 1:07 into the third period. Alyssa Hulst (Scarborough, Maine) picked up the assist on the goal.

Freshman Alexa Berg (West Fargo, N.D.) made 13 saves in goal to bring her record to 4-1-1 on the season. 

Norwich will look to get back in the win column on Saturday when it travels to Southern Maine for a 1 p.m. faceoff with the Huskies.
