GAME FLOW & NOTES
- The first period featured back-and-forth action with few clear-cut chances for either team. The Friars led 7-5 in shots after the opening frame.
- Madison Myers (Colchester, Vt.) opened the second period with a series of six saves to keep the Black Bears off the board. She ended up making 18 total saves in the middle stanza.
- Catherine Tufts put the Black Bears up 1-0 at the 7:03 mark of the third with a goal very similar to her tally yesterday. Mikayla Rogers played a saucer pass up-ice to Cailey Hutchinson. Hutchinson then skated down the left boards and tossed the puck in front for a redirection by Tufts at the top of the crease.
- Maureen Murphy tied the game up at 1-1 with a beautiful short-handed goal. With just under seven minutes remaining in regulation, she skated down on a one-on-one, edged her defender and placed a backhander perfectly over the shoulder of Carly Jackson.
- Murphy's goal was her team-leading 18th of the year and her fourth short-handed goal this season.
- Murphy lifted the Friars to victory with a breakaway goal 2:57 into the overtime frame. She skated in alone on Jackson and pushed the puck right under her pads for the win.
- The Friars concluded the regular season series against Maine with a 1-0-2 record.
- Today's win clinched home ice for the Hockey East quarterfinal series. Games will be played at Schneider Arena on Friday, Feb. 23, Saturday, Feb. 24 and Sunday, Feb. 25, if needed.
