Last Time Out:

• The Warriors had a home-and-home series against Hockey East foe, New Hampshire. In Durham, the teams skated to a 1-1 tie, with the Wildcats picking up a 3-1 win at Lawler Rink.
• In Friday's game after trailing, 1-0 heading into the second period, it was a short-handed goal by junior Katelyn Rae (Courtice, Ontario) that knotted the game.
• On Saturday, the Wildcats jumped out to a 2-0 lead late in the first period. Junior Madison Morey (Fairbanks, Alaska) cut the lead in half at 15:13 of the second period. However, a late empty-netter for New Hampshire put the game away.
