KINGSTON, Ont. - The Queen's Gaels scored three times on the power play and netted a shorthanded goal to defeat the No. 8 Toronto Varsity Blues 5-1 in women's hockey on Sunday.
Elizabeth Kench (Gananoque, Ont.) netted the Gaels only even-strength goal which turned out to be the game-winner.
Queen's jumped out to a two-goal lead in the first period with Victoria Kaufmann (Whitby, Ont.) opening the scoring on the power play. Kench netted her fourth of the season with 32 seconds left in the opening frame.
Kristin Smith (Toronto, Ont.) extended the Gaels lead mid-way through the second, scoring a short-handed goal off a Varsity Blues giveaway.
Stacey Oue (Scarborough, Ont.) scored the Blues lone goal at the 15:54 mark of the second to pull Toronto within two heading into the third.
In the third period, Toronto found themselves in the penalty box four more times, leading to two more Queen's power play goals.
Second year defencemen Shelby Aitcheson (London, Ont.) notched her first-ever OUA goal to give the Gaels the 4-1 lead. Amanda Morra (Pickering, Ont.) netted the fifth and final goal.
Despite leading in penalties, Toronto managed to outshoot the Gaels 36-24. Melissa John (Unionville, Ont.) stood tall in net for the Gaels, stopping 11 shots in the third and 33 overall.
