For the first time ever a team has won five consecutive Hockey East title. The Northeastern Huskies women’s team extended an incredible run with a comeback victory over the Connecticut Huskies. It was the third time these teams met, second in Matthews Arena, in this streak. Only Boston University had previously won the tournament five times but they were not in a row. The graduating class also will end their careers a perfect 18-0 in HEA tournament play.
The first period saw Northeastern as the superior team for most of it, shots were heavily in favor of NU and they had long sequences of sustained pressure that led to no goals.
