Fairfield, CT - Sacred Heart earned the respect of the Maine Black Bears after a scintillating 3-2 win last night. The Black Bears came back strong Saturday afternoon downing the Pioneers 11-1. Taryn Lapierre (Oakland, RI) netted the only Pioneer goal early in the second period.

The weekend was still a success for the women’s hockey program, notching its first win over the University of Maine. The Pioneers continue their road trip traveling to Kingston, RI as they take on the University of Rhode Island. The puck will drop Saturday October 25th at 7:00 pm.
