WORCESTER, Mass. – Senior Lane Lewis and freshman Naemi Herzig both tallied one goal and one assist, as the Holy Cross women's ice hockey team defeated Maine 3-1 at the Hart Center at the Luth Athletic Complex. The Crusaders improve to 10-5-0 on the season and 3-4-0 in Hockey East, while the Black Bears fall to 4-8-1 overall and 2-3-1 in the conference.

• Holy Cross then concluded the scoring late in the second period, with Lewis forcing a turnover and feeding Herzig for the goal.
