After showing some hesitation in her first start of the season against Dartmouth, Kuusisto looked much more comfortable at UNH, relying on her glove- and stick-saves to control the tempo in her zone and limit the number of Wildcat chances...
Kuusisto's biggest play came 2:25 into the second, with the Crimson leading 3-1 and killing a tripping penalty against freshman defenseman Pam Van Reesema.

On the receiving end was freshman winger Jen Botterill, who slammed home the championship-winning goal...
