After a scoreless opening period, the Spartans struck first 16 minutes into the second. UMass Boston responded in the third with a goal from first-year Aisling McFadden (Erie, Pa.), her second of the season.

Castleton regained the lead on a power-play goal, but senior Emily Hansen (Lake Villa, Ill.) answered with a clutch equalizer with five minutes remaining to force overtime.

In the extra period, Rae Alexander (Georgia, Vt.) buried the game-winner just two minutes into play, lifting the Beacons to their second overtime win of the season.

Saturday vs. No. 9 Norwich: UMB 0 – Norwich 3
