Late in the period, the Northeastern defense came together to prevent the Wildcats from scoring to end the game. Northeastern cleared the zone and sustained offense of its own, collecting two shots. The Huskies began the seven-on-seven sudden-death overtime on defense as the Wildcats put constant pressure on the net, tallying four shots on goal. Our goal in overtime was to win, to keep possession and still play strong on defense.” “Everyone has to drop on defense and attack as a unit. With the game clock at zero, Northeastern was awarded back-to-back penalty corners, and the opportunity to end the game, but was unable to convert, sending the game into overtime. The rest of regulation play saw several offensive breakaways, diving saves by each goaltender and clean passing. Senior captain Liz Centofanti made a diving save off the initial shot, but sophomore forward Leah Boody lifted the rebound above Centofanti’s pads, evening the score.

Twenty minutes after the Husky goal, UNH netted the game-tying goal after converting its fourth penalty corner of the match. Just nine minutes into the game, senior midfielder Ashley Webber put the Huskies on the board with an assist from sophomore midfielder Montana Hewlett. The Wildcats started the first minutes of play with two penalty corners, but were unable to capitalize. “It threw us off a bit, so I’m glad we solved that in the second half.” “UNH played a great game,” said head coach Cheryl Murtagh. The field hockey team won its first home game of the season after 88 minutes and two overtime periods of nail-biting play against New Hampshire at Sweeney Field Sunday.
