GORHAM, Maine – A third period goal by Adria Tebo led the University of New England Nor'easters to a 2-1 victory over the University of Southern Maine Huskies' women's ice hockey team on Friday evening in Gorham's USM Ice Arena. Tebo's goal broke a 1-1 tie early in the third period and the Nor'easters were able to hold off the Huskies for the win. The Huskies' goal came on a tip by senior Sydnee Chaisson (Stratford, Prince Edward Island/Mount Academy) on a shot by senior Caroline Thompson (Crapaud, Prince Edward Island/Mount Academy). Fifth-year senior Jillian Jackson (Fredericton, New Brunswick/Ontario Hockey Academy) also had an assist on the goal.
 
Junior transfer Maggie Jones (St. John's, Newfoundland/Mount Academy) made 28 saves in her Southern Maine debut.

The Nor'easters quickly answered with a Lainie Lemieux goal that was assisted by Keely Kasputis and Amanda Forziat following a scrum in front of the net. Matola then replaced DeJon in net for UNE.
• Tebo broke up a pass in the third period and scored off her rebound to give the Nor'easters a 2-1 lead just under six minutes into the third period. Matola then made five saves the rest of the way and her defense helped her out by blocking several shots and clogging the passing lanes.
