WORCESTER, Mass. – Freshman forward

Sonntag scored the game-winning goal against No. 15 Connecticut on Saturday afternoon. The Crusaders took home a 2-1 victory, setting a program record for most wins in Hockey East play.
The Crusaders were tied 1-1 halfway through the second period when sophomore
Madison Michals sent the puck into the offensive zone with a seamless behind-the-back pass to freshman
Alexis Perry. Sonntag received the puck and sent the it over the right shoulder of Connecticut's sophomore goalie, Tia Chan.
Sonntag earns her first recognition by Hockey East with her first career goal.

The following day, Holy Cross will host the Huskies for its final regular season contest. This game will serve as senior night at the Hart Center Rink, with the members of the program's senior class being honored in a special pregame ceremony.
