The Nor'easters quickly made a pass directly in front of the crease and slid it in for the goal. Two more University of New England goals came in period two, the first occuring at 6:02 on the clock. New England took a shot from the blue line, and it was poked in right in front of the net.
The third and final University of New England goal of the day, at 7:42 in the second period, came off a backhand shot from the Nor'easters in the low slot. Despite a six on five situation in the final minute of the third period when Ellee Kopecky quickly exited the ice, Salve Regina was unable to get on the board in the encounter.

The last game of the regular season is Saturday, February 17, on the road at Nichols College at 4:40 p.m.
