Fedeski Tallies Three Assists, Schlagel Scores Twice For 'Cats

STORRS, Conn. – Jonna Curtis (Elk River, Minn.) recorded her 100^th career point as part of a three-point effort that propelled the University of New Hampshire women's ice hockey team to Friday night's 4-1 victory against the University of Connecticut at Freitas Ice Forum.

UNH improved to 12-17-2 overall and 10-11-2 in Hockey Eat to claim sole possession of sixth place in the league standings with one game remaining in the regular season. UConn now sits seventh at 9-12-2, and the Huskies are 14-15-4 overall.

By virtue of the University of Vermont's win Friday night, UNH can place no higher than fifth in the league standings. The Wildcats climbed within one point of Providence College, which has a home-and-home series against Boston College this weekend.

Curtis entered Friday night with 97 career points and inched closer to the milestone with assists on UNH's second and third goals of the game, then recorded her 100^th career point on a goal at 5:32 of the third period to close the scoring.

Amy Schlagel (Blaine, Minn.) scored twice for her first career multiple-goal game and Julia Fedeski (Algonquin Highlands, Ontario) tallied three assists to record personal bests in both assists and points.

Hilary Cashin (Fredericton, New Brunswick) stopped 27 of 28 shots, including all 15 she faced in the third period, while UConn counterpart Annie Belanger was credited with 29 saves.
