PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The University of New Hampshire women's ice hockey team skated to a win over No. 11 Brown University (8-5-1, 4-3-1 HEA) on Sunday afternoon (Nov. 30), topping the Bears 4-1 at Meehan Auditorium.

Brown opened the scoring 2:47 into the first period, when forward Jade Iginla collected a blocked India McDadi shot, striking on the rebound opportunity to give the Bears a 1-0 advantage. Brown continued to apply pressure on offense for the remainder of the period, closing the first 20 minutes with a 14-8 edge on the shot chart, paced by three tries from both Iginla and McDadi. For the Wildcats, six different players put the puck on net, led by a pair of tries from freshmen defensemen Alex Therien (Ottawa, Ontario) and Aurora Kahlert (Maple Ridge, British Columbia).

The Wildcats tied things up early in the second period as Addison Spitz (Grosse Pointe, Mich.) fired a try from the right face-off dot, taking a bounce off Brown's Anya Zupkofska's right pad and finding the stick of Kelly Harty (Billerica, Mass.) in the slot, who fired on net for her team-leading seventh score of the season. New Hampshire paced Brown in the middle frame, outshooting the Bears 12-7, led by five different players with a pair of tries on net.

New Hampshire found their first lead of the night 2:46 into the third period, when Alyson Hush (Scarborough, Ontario) found Danika Botterill (Portage La Prairie, Manitoba) in the slot for a one-time try, beating Brown's Zupkofska glove-side to take a 2-1 advantage. The Wildcats iced the game with late empty net goals from Hush and Spitz, bringing about the final 4-1 tally.

Five different Wildcats logged points in the win, paced by a three-point performance from Spitz and two-point performances from Hush and Botterill. Additionally, 13 different players landed a shot on net, including eight individuals with at least three tries. On defense, nine players blocked a shot, led by Harty with three, while junior netminder Noemi Martinez (Glen Ridge, N.J.) denied 29-of-30 tries on net, closing out with a .967 save percentage.
