HENNIKER, N.H. (Friday, January 31, 2025)-- Emily Wroblewski and Riley Esposito combined for three goals in Salve Regina University women's ice hockey's 3-0 shutout of the hosting New England College Pilgrims in NEHC play on Friday.

INSIDE THE MATCHUP
Final: Salve Regina 3, New England College 0
Records: Salve Regina (12-8-0, 10-3-0 NEHC), New England College (2-17-0, 1-12-0 NEHC)
History: Salve Regina is 15-14-3 all-time against New England College. The Seahawks have won the last four meetings. In 2020, the most recent meeting, Salve Regina served up a 2-0 shutout when Nicole Schneiders '23 and Grace Schwartz '23 scored in the third period. 

NOTEWORTHY

• Emily Wroblewski sunk an early goal just 1:15 after puck drop. A takeaway at center ice resulted in a one-on-one situation for Wroblewski and she was unstoppable, scoring the Seahawks first goal of the evening right in front of the Pilgrims' net. 
• After one period Salve Regina was up 1-0, led 12-8 off the face off and had fired off 20 shots on goal.
• The pilgrims sent a skater to the box at 13:13 in the third period for elbowing and the momentum of a five on four advantage gave Wroblewski the momentum she needed to net her second goal of the evening. She fired a shot from the dot over the shoulder of Pilgrims' Lucy Armour. 
• Riley Esposito secured her eighth goal of the season to make it 3-0 off a rebounded save with less than two minutes in regulation.
• After 60 minutes the Seahawks outshot the Pilgrims 50-18.
• Seahawk goalie Sydney Baxter achieved her second shutout of the season. Her first was a 12-save 4-0 victory over Anna Maria College on November 8, 2024.

ON THE HORIZON
Women's ice hockey is back in Henniker tomorrow, Saturday, February 1, at 3 p.m. for day two against the Pilgrims.
