GAME RECAP
- Clarkson took an early 1-0 lead when Jessica Gillham corralled a rebound at the right post, settled the puck and wristed a shot between Cashin's legs. Lauren Lefler, with the initial shot from the inner-right circle, and Cassidy Vinkle set up the tally at 55 seconds.
- Savannah Harmon extended the lead to 2-0 at 12:49 when she carried the puck on the right wing, received a return pass from Gillham, cut to the slot and lifted a shot into the upper-left corner.
- The Golden Knights took that two-goal lead and 16-4 shot advantage into the first intermission.
- Jonna Curtis (Elk River, Minn.) netted a power-play goal at 5:17 of the second period to pull the Wildcats within 2-1. She initiated the scoring sequence with a pass from the left circle to Carlee Turner (Scottsdale, Ariz.) at the hashmarks. Turner made a one-touch pass to Kate Haslett (Rothesay, New Brunswick) and she was denied at the top of the crease, but Curtis skated in and deposited the puck in the back of the net.
- Harmon potted her second goal of the game just 25 seconds later, however, to quickly reestablish a two-goal lead of 3-1. From behind the net, Loren Gabel backhanded a pass to Cayley Mercer cutting along the left goal line extended. The puck went out to Harmon at the right point and her rising shot went into the upper-right corner at 5:42.
- McKenzie Johnson entered the game in goal for Clarkson at 14:13 of the second stanza when starter Shea Tiley was sent to the penalty box for a 10-minute misconduct. Johnson stopped all five shots she faced before Tiley reentered at 13:59 of the final frame.
- Midway through the third period, Curtis won the battle for the puck on the right half-boards, split a pair of defenders to advance to the front of the net, where her backhander was enveloped by Tiley.
'CAT NIPS
- It was the team-leading fifth goal of the season for Curtis, who also has a team-high eight points.
- Turner has a team-high four assists.
- Prior to Sunday's effort by Cashin, the last time a UNH goalie made 40-plus saves was Feb. 27, 2015 (Ashley Wilkes, 40; 2-1 win at Northeastern University).
WILDCAT NOTEBOOK
- New Hampshire's power play was a perfect 7-for-7 Sunday against the Golden Knights. The Wildcats' penalty kill is 38 of 41 (92.7%) for the season; that ranks sixth in the nation.
- Seven of UNH's eight games have been against a nationally-ranked team.
