GOAL-BY-GOAL
- Graduate student Mary Parker opened the scoring just 5:08 into the frame thanks to a pretty pass from junior Victoria Bach.

- Providence cut it to 2-1 when Cassidy Carels notched an unassisted goal 4:17 into the second stanza.
- Sutherland regained the Terriers' two-goal lead 5:46 into the third with a power-play goal, the eventual game-winner, thanks to passes from Davis and junior Nina Rodgers.
- Carels made it 3-2 just 29 seconds later, but senior Maddie Elia's power-play marker from Bach and junior Rebecca Leslie with 1:30 left in regulation helped seal the win.
- Sutherland added an empty-netter to complete the hat trick thanks to another assist from Davis.
GREAT GOALTENDING

- Sixteen of her saves came in the final frame and she stopped all 12 shots she saw on the power play.

- Senior co-captain Alexis Crossley helped keep the Terriers ahead, 3-2, when she raced back to thwart a shorthanded breakaway bid by Providence.
