Bulldogs Fall to Northeastern in Overtime

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale women's ice hockey team fell to Northeastern 2-1 in overtime in the first game of 2024. The Bulldogs dominated in terms of possession and shots on goal for the vast majority of the game, but Northeastern capitalized on a Katie Knoll score with under two minutes left to go in the extra period to give the Huskies the victory.

Northeastern improved to 12-8 this season, while the Bulldogs fall to 9-8.

"We played well tonight for most of the game, but just did not convert on many of the grade 'A' chances that we had," said Mark Bolding, Susan Cavanagh Head Coach of Women's Hockey. "Successful power plays can be the difference in tight games, and Northeastern got it done."

  • END OF 3 | Despite a flurry of late shots on net, the Bulldogs could not net the game-winner.
