When these teams met last year, Hartford cruised to a 3-0 home victory.
The Catamounts will need to rebound from a difficult 7-0
loss to Boston University. Vermont couldn't find an answer for the skilled
attack of Boston University, as the Catamounts trailed 3-0 after the opening 45
minutes. In the loss, sophomore goalkeeper Alyssa Kelly made seven saves to
help keep the score close during the first half.
Hartford is coming off a 3-0 loss to Boston University. The
loss was the first for the Hawks in conference play. The usually potent
Hartford attack couldn't find its typical explosiveness after an injury to
junior forward Breeanna Robinson. Junior goalkeeper Lauren Brodeur was
excellent in the net, making seven saves to keep her team in the game.

these teams last season, Maine pulled out a thrilling 3-2 victory.
The Great Danes extended their unbeaten streak to
three-games with a 0-0 (2OT) tie against Binghamton. Neither team generated

shots in the loss. Sophomore goalkeeper Breanna Maggio made six saves to earn
her fourth shutout of the season.
Maine dropped its first home match of the season when it
fell 1-0 to New Hampshire. Senior midfielder Carole LeBlanc netted the lone

the match up last season, the Seawolves earned a comfortable 2-0 home victory
at LaValle Stadium.
UNH is coming off an important 1-0 road victory over Maine. After
a slow opening to the game, the Wildcats grabbed the game-winning goal in the
28th minute of action. Senior midfielder Carole LeBlanc netted her
third goal of the season to provide the Wildcats with all the offense they
would need. Freshman goalkeeper Erica Correa was excellent in net, making five

for its first win in conference play since the opening game when it travels to
UMBC (2-11-1, 1-4-0 America East). Last season, Binghamton earned a 2-0 home
victory over the Retrievers.
The Bearcats continued their impressive defensive play with
a 0-0 (2OT) draw against Albany. While the Binghamton defense continues to play
at a high level, the offense is yet to find its rhythm. The Bearcats have not
scored in the past three games, and their eight goals scored are tied for the
fewest in the conference. In the draw against Albany, freshman goalkeeper
Carrie Martin made seven saves to help earn her fourth shutout of the season.
