Holy Cross Stuns Women's Hockey, 3-2

Box Score

WORCESTER, Mass. – Mackenzie Boardman scored the game winner in the final of play to stun women's hockey by the final of 3-2 Friday afternoon at the Hart Center in a New England Hockey Conference contest.

THE BASICS

UMass Boston 2, Holy Cross 3

UMass Boston (12-11-0, 10-4-0 NEHC)
Holy Cross (20-2-0, 12-2-0 NEHC)

HOW IT HAPPENED

Despite a pair of goals from Jenny Currie (Medford, Mass.), the Crusaders managed to get the game-winner with 1:02 left in regulation to steal their 14th home win of the year.  Currie got UMass on the board at the 5:36 mark of the first period, with fellow senior Alexandra Karlis (Denver, Colo.) assisting on the play. 

Holy Cross answered back just over a minute later to tie the game at 1-1.  Currie would then put UMass back out in front at 13:57 when she fired home a pass from Kat Armstrong (Boulder, Colo.) to make it 2-1 going into the first intermission.

Unfortunately the Crusaders would tack on a goal in the second, and the game-winner in the third.  UMass Boston definitely had their chances to blow the game wide open, but went 0-for-8 on the power-play, while Holy Cross finished 1-for-3.
