DURHAM, N.H. – Senior defenseman Amy Schlagel (Blaine, Minn.) scored a pair of goals to lift the University of New Hampshire women's hockey team to a 6-2 win over Vermont on Saturday in front of a crowd of 581 at the Whittemore Center for a "Stick it to Stigma" Mental Health Awareness Game.

Schlagel scored her second goal of the night 43 seconds into the second period and that one stood as the game-winner, her team-leading second of the season.
