Women’s hockey

Maine, Northeastern split

At Boston, freshman right wing Vanessa Vani’s eighth goal of the season, coming 4:37 into the third period, proved to be the game-winner as Maine beat Northeastern 3-2 Sunday to salvage a split of their weekend Hockey East series at Matthews Arena.

Northeastern rallied for four unanswered third-period goals to erase a 2-0 lead and post a 4-2 victory on Saturday.

On Sunday, Vani’s goal off a Sonia Corriveau assist gave the Bears a 3-1 lead.

Vani’s linemates, Brigitte Laflamme and Corriveau, scored second-period goals to answer Crystal Rochon’s first-period goal for NU.

Ali Bielawski pulled the Huskies within 3-2 with 7:26 left but the Bears hung on.

Lundy Day made 14 saves for the Bears, who are now 9-4-3 overall and 2-4-2 in Hockey East.

Marisa Hourihan had 34 stops for Northeastern, which fell to 4-12-1 and 3-7-1, respectively.

On Saturday, Rochon triggered Northeastern’s four-goal 4:55 into the third period and capped it with an empty-netter.

Corriveau and Kelly Law staked Maine to a 2-0 lead with goals just 1:56 apart early in the third period. Julie Poulin assisted on both.

Hourihan finished with 31 saves while Maine’s Genevieve Turgeon was forced to make just eight stops.
