Women's hockey

• Jane Morrisette scored two goals just over three minutes apart in the second period to break a scoreless tie, as UMass Boston blanked Connecticut College, 3-0, in a non-conference game. Goalie Carly Denora had 14 saves for the Camels (8-7-2). 

Men's hockey

 College track

• For the first time in her career, Coast Guard Academy sophomore Kaitlyn Mooney has been named the NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field National Athlete of the Week by the USTFCCCA. Mooney posted the third fastest time in NCAA Division III indoor track history in the 3,000 meters with a time of nine minutes, 27.25 seconds last weekend at the John Thomas Terrier Classic at Boston University. That left her just three seconds shy of the second fastest mark all-time of 9:24.34 set by Felicia Koerner of Johns Hopkins.
