Box Score

BIDDEFORD, Maine -- Sarah Sinning scored with 1:04 elapsed in overtime to give Manhattanville College a 4-3 victory over the University of New England in a New England Hockey Conference women's game played Saturday afternoon (Nov. 12) at the Harold Alfond Forum.

The win improves the Valiant's overall and conference records to 3-1-0. UNE drops to 1-4-1, 1-2-1 in NEHC action.

After sending a pass to Cassandra Kent in the right circle, Sinning headed toward the cage and received a feed across the low slot that she directed into the goal from the left doorstep.

Trailing 3-2 heading into the third, the Nor'easters forced overtime with the lone tally of the frame when Abby Kinens notched her first goal of the season with her team short-handed. Kinens intercepted a Manhattanville pass in the neutral zone before breaking in behind the defense and rattling a shot off the right post and into the goal [WATCH].

UNE had grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first on Emily Corrales' team-leading third goal. Corrales fired a wrist shot from the mid-slot that went five-hole at 16:36 of the period [WATCH].

In the second the Valiants exploded for three consecutive goals in a span 1:02 to take control. Nicole Mensi scored on the power play to tie the score (1-1) at the 7:22 mark. Katherine Reilly followed with a goal 27 seconds later, and Morgan Wilm continued the barrage with her first goal of the year at 8:24.

UNE's Annie Mullen would tally short-handed with 1:44 remaining in the frame to help the Nor'easters halt Manhattanville's momentum. Mullen made a nifty stick-handling move and converted with a wrap-around from behind the cage [WATCH].

Caty Flagg played a strong game in goal for UNE, racking up 32 saves, including a pad save on a Mensi breakaway with six minutes left in regulation to keep the score level.

Rose Pijaca earned the victory with 13 saves for Manhattanville, which hosts Plymouth State University this coming Friday.

The Nor'easters play a road game with Nichols College that same evening.
