QUEEN'S STEAL A WIN FROM TORONTO WHILE BROCK AND WESTERN SKATE TO A DRAW
Queen's 3, Toronto 2
The Queen's Golden Gaels finished a perfect weekend in Toronto with a 3-2 win Sunday evening over the #6 nationally ranked Varsity Blues. The Gaels
who defeated the York Lions Saturday afternoon by the same score received the winning goal from Kori Cembal of Kingston, Ont. on the powerplay late in the second period.
The Gaels were outshot 11-7 in the first period but went into the intermission leading 2-0. A minute into the game Liz Kench of Gananoque, Ont. opened the scoring with her 11th of the season. Late in the period at 17:07 Queen's captain Cassie Sparks of Stouffville, Ont. scored to increase the lead to two goals heading into the second period.
In the middle stanza Toronto tied the game with goals at 5:12 and 11:48 but Queen's scored what turned out to be the winner with 2:19 remaining. Just 37 seconds after a Varsity Blues player took a penalty Cembal scored her sixth of the season to put the Gaels up 3-2 heading into the final frame.
In the third period Toronto put incredible pressure on Queen's but goaltender Katie Boyd stopped all 12 shots she faced as the Gaels were outshot 12-2 in the period and 35-17 for the game. Boyd had picked up the win over York as well.
The win improves Queen's record to 8-8-3 moving them past Windsor into fourth place in the OUA while second place Toronto falls to 13-3-0-1.
Brock 2, Western 2
The Brock University women's hockey team (4-10-4 OUA) came back from two goals down to tie the Western Mustangs 2-2 this past Saturday afternoon at the Seymour-Hannah Centre.
Western would open the scoring at 2:24 of the first period on an even-strength marker scored by Amy Goen, assisted by Whitney Weisshaar and Sarah Lynch.
Adding to their lead, UWO's Brittany Buck would snipe a powerplay goal for the Mustangs just over a minute into the second period.
Despite being down two goals, the Badgers would rally back to get within one with a powerplay goal by senior Kim Kodatsky (Port Colborne, Ont), with assists going to Ann Lavallee (Burlington, Ont.) and Lana Norris (Inglewood, Ont.).
Brock would come out strong and rejuvenated in the third period, outshooting their opponents 10-7. Michelle Lee (Innisfil, Ont.) would even the score at 14:50 of the third period, Norris and Kodatsky would both add assists for their second points of the game.
Brock goaltender Anne Campbell (Minesing, Ont) got her first start of the year making 18 saves for the tie.
Overtime would prove to be uneventful and the game would end in a draw.
