DURHAM, N.H. - University of New Hampshire sophomore Carlee Turner (Scottsdale, Ariz.) and senior captain Kate Haslett (Rothesay, New Brunswick) tallied goals in the third period to turn a late 2-0 deficit to a chance at conference points, as the Wildcats tied the #8 Providence College Friars 2-2 on Friday evening.

Turner's goal came unassisted early in the third period, while Haslett's came off a long rebound from linemate and fellow senior captain Ali Praus (Long Lake, Minn.).

The Friars got a goal in each of the early periods, one just bouncing off the glove of freshman goaltender Ava Boutilier (Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island) in the first period, and another in the second period that just got away from Boutilier and bounced to a trailing Providence skater. Despite the two goals, Boutilier made 27 saves on the night, including five in overtime, to take a point from the Friars.

GAME RECAP

- Providence opened up the game 17 minutes into the first period on a rush that just tipped off the glove of Boutilier.

- The Wildcats outshot the Friars 19-9 in the second period but couldn't find the back of the net.

- Providence tallied another goal 10:52 into the second period on a messy rebound; Boutilier made a great initial save but couldn't make it back to her feet in time for the second shot.

- The Wildcats finally answered back 2:51 into the third period, as Turner picked off the puck in the offensive zone and skated down the right side, and got one past Myers on a tough angle to put the 'Cats on the board.

- Haslett's goal came 16:16 into the third period; Ali Praus took an initial shot on a Providence turnover in their own zone. A long rebound came out to Haslett just beyond the right faceoff circle and she buried the shot to tie the game.

- In overtime, the Wildcats spent the first 39 seconds on the power play, but took a penalty with 1:42 remaining in the period. The Wildcats would kill off the power play and preserve the tie.

BEYOND THE BOX SCORE

- The tie is the Wildcats' first tie since December; they tied twice at RPI on the 18th and 19th of December.
