Both Dodd-Moher and UOIT netminder Jessica Larabie (Pickering, Ont.) stood tall in the second period as each turned aside 10 shots to keep both teams off the board in the frame.

GUELPH 3, YORK 2
At Guelph, the Gryphons bounced back this weekend picking up two wins including the 3-2 victory over the York Lions Sunday afternoon.

The forward-line of Jenna Lanzarotta (Mississauga, Ont.), Dayna Kanis (Georgetown, Ont.), and Tori Woods (Orangeville, Ont.) was on fire this weekend contributing nine points in the blowout against Toronto and six of the eight points in the win over York. Lanzarotta and Woods each picked up a goal and an assist on Sunday, while Kanis tallied an assist on both goals.
Tamara Bell (Guelph, Ont.) was the other Gryphon scorer, getting the game winner that was set up by defensive player Lucia Mazza (Sudbury, Ont.).

Toronto opened the scoring 12:05 into the game when veteran Annie DelGuidice (Hamilton, Ont.) came rushing down the ice and sent a beautiful pass to fellow assistant captain Emily Milito (Ottawa) who made no mistake finding the back of the net for her fifth goal of the season.
Less than four minutes later, Amanda Fawns (Scarborough, Ont.) tallied what would be the eventual game-winner on a five-on-three advantage. The third-year forward picked up the puck off the face off and wired a shot past Badgers goaltender Beth Clause (Hamilton, Ont.).
After a scoreless second period, Brock would finally get on the board on a power play opportunity with just over six minutes remaining in the game. After a scramble in front of the Blues net, first-year Badgers forward Sara Brady (Thunder Bay, Ont.) spoiled the Blues shut out when she tapped a rebound behind U of T goaltender Melissa Muir (Winnipeg).

With the victory, Western improves to 5-7-1 with 11 points, good for fifth place in the OUA.
