Stella Costabile also scored on the power play, and Ava Drabyk made 19 saves. On Saturday, the Orange scored four times in the second period on the way to a 6-2 win. Jordan Blouin scored twice, with additional goals from Nea Tervonen, Maryn Broderick, Rachel Walsh and McLeod. Ten Orange players recorded a point, and Drabyk made 18 saves.
The sweep followed a 5-4 overtime win over then No. 4 Penn State on Oct. 9 and a 4-0 loss to the Nittany Lions the next day. Earlier this season, the Orange split a road series at Mercyhurst, winning 3-1 and losing 5-2.
