The women’s hockey team had a successful, undefeated weekend consisting of matchups with two conference opponents.

The Red sent the Bulldogs back to New Haven, tails between their legs, with a 90-71 victory on Friday. The next evening, Brown came to town, taking the full brunt of Newman Nation with a 74-60 loss.
