Three Stars of the Game
- Salve Regina junior Maddie Cox jammed in a rebound off a shot from Tori Amaral (Glastonbury, Conn.) with 11:53 to go in the third.
- Salve Regina senior Madison Jalbert (Beverly, Mass.) made 23 saves to improve to 1-3 in net on the season.
- Nichols freshman Victoria Bakopanos (Kirkland, Quebec) made a career-high 34 saves in the loss to fall to 2-1 between the pipes.
Turning Point
Salve Regina had the fresher legs in the third period versus the shorthanded Bison. After failing to clear the puck off a shot from the wing, Amaral corralled the loose puck and circled the zone, freeing herself in the slot for a shot that was initially stopped by Bokopanos, but Cox was waiting on the doorstep and jammed in the loose puck to put the Seahawks on top 2-1. After that the Seahawks were content to force the Bison to chase the puck and kill time. A Bison penalty with 2:09 remaining all but sealed the game as they were unable to get a chance to pull the goalie and the Seahawks walked away with their first victory of the season.
Quick Hits
- Salve Regina outshot the Bison 36-24, 30-12 in the second and third periods.
