GAME FLOW & NOTES
- The first period concluded in a scoreless tie. Madison Myers (Colchester, Vt.) turned away 13 shots, while Kyra Smith stopped all eight she faced for the Wildcats.
- Sara Hjalmarsson (Bankeryd, Sweden) went to the box late in the period, giving UNH over a minute of power play time to open the second. Whitney Dove (Port Moody, British Columbia) then went to the box exactly 1:00 in, giving the Wildcats a short 5-on-3 opportunity.
- The Friars killed off the two-man advantage, but Devan Taylor ended up converting for UNH on the power play. She scored a rebound goal after a shot from the point to make it 1-0 just 2:41 into the second.
- The Wildcats extended their lead midway through the period. Taylor Wenczkowski and Marie-Jo Pelletier skated in on a 2-on-1, where Wenczkowski was eventually able to put home a rebound for the two-goal lead.
- Providence had a power play late in the second period but was unable to convert. The Friars ended up outshooting the Wildcats 18-11 in the middle stanza.
- UNH took a penalty early in the third, but ended up scoring a short-handed goal on a breakaway to make it 3-0. Meghara McManus scored her eighth goal of the season for UNH.
- Nicole Dunbar made it 4-0 UNH with a diving play at the back post to poke in a rebound. Her goal, which was her sixth of the year, came at the 7:31 mark of the third.
- Wenczkowski added an empty-net goal with less than three minutes to play.
