WHAT HAPPENED

Taylor Willard scored the game-winning goal for the second time in as many days when her shot from the right point sailed into the upper-right corner of the cage to give UVM a 3-2 lead at 10:51 of the third period.
Vermont entered the third period trailing 2-1 but outscored New Hampshire 2-0 in the third period despite UNH's 11-5 shot advantage in the final frame.
Cassidy Campeau tied the score, 2-2, at 5:32 on a wraparound goal at the left post after receiving a return pass from Dayna Colang behind the net.
After 26-plus scoreless minutes to start the game, the teams combined to score three goals in four minutes.
UNH took a 1-0 lead for the second time in as many days when Margo Lund (St. Paul, Minn.) scored off her own rebound at 6:29 of the second period.
The Catamounts tied the score almost three minutes later when Sammy Kolowrat also potted a goal off her own rebound at 9:58.
UNH went on the power play 21 seconds later, however, and needed just 11 seconds to cash in on the skater advantage to regain the lead, 2-1, at 10:30. Nicoline Jensen (Rodovre, Denmark) scored her second goal of the season when her rising shot from the high slot sailed through a screen in front and under the crossbar.
UNH pulled Kyra Smith (Littleton, Colo.) with 75 seconds remaining in regulation, but Vermont bottled up the neutral zone and did not allow a shot the rest of the way to secure the win and weekend sweep.
New Hampshire recorded a 7-5 shot advantage in the scoreless first period.
Not included among UNH's seven first-period shots was an Amy Schlagel (Blaine, Minn.) wrister from the inner-right circle that ricocheted off the near post with the Wildcats on the power play five minutes into the game.

NOTABLE

Freshman defenseman Jenna Rheault (Deering, N.H.) recorded her first career assist with a helper on the game's first goal.
UNH recorded a 61-38 shot advantage in the two-game series but was outscored 5-3 by the Catamounts.
