COLBY WOMEN'S HOCKEY STOPS SACRED HEART, 3-1

MILFORD, Conn. --- Heather DeVito (Arlington, Mass.) scored her 49th and 50th career goals to lead the Colby College women's hockey team to a 3-1 victory over Sacred Heart on Friday at Milford Ice Pavillion.

DeVito has 50 goals and 37 assists for 87 career points. She leads the Mules (5-6-2) with nine goals and three assists for 12 points.

Sacred Heart (12-12-1) took a 1-0 lead at 10:47 of the opening period on a goal by Jessica Felt.

After a scoreless second period, DeVito scored on the power play with just 2:12 left in the contest off an assist from Michele Barmash (Kirkland, PQ). Barmash gave the Mules an insurance goal off another assist by Goethals with only 16 seconds left to play.
