PROVIDENCE, R.I.- Two-point outings from junior Jules Constantinople and sophomore Allie Lalonde propelled the fifth-seeded Northeastern women's hockey team to a 3-2 victory over the fourth-seeded Providence College Friars in the Hockey East Quarterfinals on Saturday night at Schneider Arena. The Huskies advance to the Hockey East Semifinals and will travel to face No. 12 and top-seeded Connecticut on Wednesday, March 5 at 6 p.m.
- The Huskies opened the scoring in the second period, jumping out to a 2-0 lead with two goals a minute and five seconds apart. Senior Skylar Irving scored the Huskies' first goal with a power-play tally. Her goal was assisted by Constantinople and freshman Éloïse Caron.
- Sophomore Allie Lalonde pushed the Northeastern lead to two with her goal, assisted by graduate student Jaden Bogden and Constantinople.
- Providence cut the deficit to 2-1 with a goal at the 2:04 mark of the third period.
