Outside of the conference, Boston University traveled to take on Penn State. The two programs tied in the contest Friday, 3-3, but Saturday was all Terriers as senior forward Mary Parker (Milton, Mass.) went off for a five-point night. Parker netted a hat trick and added a pair of helpers to pace her squad ... In a series with RPI, UConn was shutout on Friday night, but rebounded for a 4-1 victory on Saturday.

After fighting to a draw with Syracuse on Friday, 2-2, Northeastern's sophomore goalie Brittany Bugalski (Boynton Beach, Fla.) stood tall Saturday, earning her fifth career shutout and second of the season, with 27 saves to preserve a 1-0 win for the Huskies ... Vermont traveled to Robert Morris, for a twogame set, coming home with a 0-1-1 weekend.
