GAME RECAP

- Providence, which scored the last five goals in Saturday's 6-3 home win, opened Sunday's scoring on the first shot of the game 26 seconds after the opening faceoff.

- Christina Putigna intercepted the puck on the left half-boards, slipped a pass down low to Brooke Boquist, received the return pass at the faceoff dot and scored her seventh goal of the season.

- Julia Fedeski netted her fourth goal of the season - third on the power play - to tie the score, 1-1, at 4:42 of the first period. The initial shot by Amy Schlagel from the right faceoff dot was stopped by Myers. The rebound sailed high to the opposite side off Jonna Curtis to the slot, where Fedeski corralled the puck and shoveled a bouncing shot inside the right post.

- The score was tied 1-1 at the end of one period with PC holding a 15-11 shot advantage.

- UNH began the second stanza with one minute remaining on a power play. Immediately as it ended, a loose puck found its way to Fedeski's stick between in the left circle. Her low drive was denied by Myers and Schlagel fired the rebound from the slot off the right post.

- Both teams recorded five shots in the scoreless second period.

- UNH once again had a carry-over power play into the third period, and this time the Wildcats converted the skater advantage into a goal and 2-1 lead.

- Schlagel began and finished the scoring sequence. Her initial shot from the high slot sailed wide right and caromed hard off the end boards to Fedeski, whose close range shot was stopped by Myers. Curtis collected the rebound in the left circle and wristed a shot off the far post. The puck dropped down to Schlagel, who deposited a shot into the open right side of the net at 1:09.

- PC pulled Myers in favor of an extra skater with 77 seconds remaining, but she had to reenter 27 seconds later with a faceoff in the Friars' defensive zone.

- The 'Cats clogged up the neutral zone, which kept Myers on the ice until 20 seconds remained. UNH won a faceoff with six seconds left, but Putigna gained possession and her shot from low on the left side was turned away by Cashin one second before the final buzzer.

'CAT NIPS

- Fedeski matched her career high of two points with the goal and assist. It marked her third two-point effort of the season.

- Schlagel recorded her first multiple-point game of the season and fourth of her career. The two points matches her personal best.

- Curtis has six multiple-point games this season with three two-assist efforts.

- Cashin improved her record to 4-4-0 this season with a 2.78 GAA and .909 save percentage.

- UNH scored multiple power-play goals in a game for the second time this year.
