BOSTON, Mass. - With recent Hall of Fame inductees Kendall Coyne Schofield and the 1987-88 team in attendance, freshman Allie Lalonde potted two goals to lead the Northeastern women's hockey team to a 6-1 victory over Providence on Friday night at Matthews Arena.
Northeastern posted four of its six goals on special teams, with three power-play tallies and one shorthanded goal.
Five Huskies recorded multi-point games including Lalonde, junior Tory Mariano, senior Lily Yovetich, graduate student Megan Carter and junior Skylar Irving, while 12 total Huskies recorded a point. Eight of Northeastern's 18 points came from the defense.

- Lalonde potted the equalizer at the 10:08 mark in the second. Lalonde's power-play tally was assisted by Yovetich and Mariano. Irving put Northeastern ahead, 2-1, with the eventual shorthanded game-winning tally at the 16:16 mark. Irving had helpers from Carter and fifth year Katy Knoll.
- The Huskies erupted for four goals in the final frame to bring the final score to 6-1. Lalonde posted her second goal of the night just 29 seconds into the period.
