STORRS, Conn. - Senior forward Kyla Josifovic scored at 15:23 of the second overtime to lift UConn to its second Hockey East Tournament title with a 2-1 win against Northeastern on Saturday at Toscano Family Ice Forum.

The first period was scoreless, with sophomore goaltender Lisa Jönsson making 12 saves for Northeastern and UConn graduate netminder Tia Chan also stopping 12 shots.

UConn opened the scoring at 2:22 of the second period when sophomore forward Sadie Hotles followed up a bid from junior forward Livvy Dewar. It was the 8th goal of the season for Hotles.

Northeastern answered at 7:03 with a power-play goal from junior defenseman Rylie Jones. The snipe from above the right faceoff circle was her third goal of the season and was assisted by freshman forward Stryker Zablocki and freshman defenseman Ella Lloyd. Northeastern and UConn went into the second intermission tied at one.

Neither team scored in the third period, sending the game to overtime. Another scoreless period forced the two teams to go into a second overtime period.

UConn would pick up the game-winner after junior forward Ashley Allard picked off a clearing effort at center ice to set up a 3-on-2 rush. Allard was able to set up sophomore forward Claire Murdoch for a shot from the slot. Jönsson made the initial save but Josifovic was able to bury the rebound to give UConn its second Hockey East title in the least three seasons.

Chan was named the Most Valuable Player of the Hockey East Tournament after making a career-high 57 saves in the championship game and stopping 104 of 107 shots across the tournament. Jönsson also set a career-high with 53 saves.

Chan, Murdoch and Josifovic were slected to the All-Tournament team along with Julia Stephen (Jr., D, UConn), Jules Constantinople (Sr., D, NU) and Morgan Jackson (So., F, NU).

The game was played in front of a Hockey East title game record crowd of 2,168.

Both teams will await the NCAA tournament selection announcement, on Sunday, March 8 at 11:30 a.m. on ESPNU.
