BROCK HOLDS OFF GUELPH AND YORK
The Brock Badgers made their case for a spot in the CIS Top 10 as they strung together a pair of impressive 1-0 wins this week to take the lead in the OUA West standings with 13 points. Brock received a 90th minute strike from Lori Brown to earn the three points from the Guelph Gryphons and then defeated the defending OUA champion York Lions by the same scoreline the following day. Against the Lions, it was Kristin MacDonald who would provide the necessary offence, scoring in the 60th minute to give the Badgers the win. Tiffany Scrivner was in net for both shut-outs, bringing her season total to four clean sheets in six matches.
The No. 10 McMaster Marauders trail the Badgers by a single point in the division after securing four of six available points in their two matches this weekend, 0-0 draw with York Saturday and a 1-0 win over Guelph Sunday. Mac's Amy Holt and York's Aurelia Gumiela each recorded the shut-outs in the goalless draw, while Laura Shoots had the only goal against Guelph. Holt, a third-year Hamilton, Ont. native, was also in net for the Guelph win and now has four shut-outs in the early going of 2006.
In the East, the No. 2 Ottawa Gee-Gees were idle, which allowed the Queen's Golden Gaels and Carleton Ravens to take over first and second place respectively in the division. The Gaels opened up the week with a convincing 4-0 win over the Nipissing Lakers and then drew 0-0 with the tough Laurentian Lady Vees. Carleton earned six points from two wins, beginning with a 2-1 win over Trent Saturday thanks to a pair of goals from Amber Prosia. Prosia had another in the 4-0 blanking of Trent Sunday. Veteran Diana Burmester opened the scoring the third minute of the match, while Sarah Marcantonio added a couple of late strikes in the last seven minutes of regulation time. The Ravens trail Queen's by a point and sit one ahead of both Ottawa and Toronto. The Varsity Blues played just one match on the week, defeating the Ryerson Rams 1-0 Sunday. Erica Basso scored the lone goal of the match, while Alexis Vaughan had the clean sheet in the Blues net.
The Lady Vees had a busy week with three matches in total, beginning with a 1-1 draw with Nipissing Wednesday. Nicole O'Brien put the Lakers in the lead with a strike in the 17th minute but second-year midfielder Erica Duczeminski rescued the match for Laurentian with a late goal to earn the point. The Lady Vees didn't need any late heroics the next time out as Caitlin Kelly scored twice and Jenna Roach added another in a 3-0 win over RMC Saturday.
In other OUA action, Ryerson defeated Trent 2-0 Wednesday. The Windsor Lancers drew 0-0 with the Waterloo Warriors Saturday and then dropped a 2-0 decision to the Laurier Golden Hawks Sunday. Laurier had lost 3-0 the previous day to the Western Mustangs, who had a pair of goals from Julie Beynon and another strike from Kate Crowley. Nipissing beat RMC 4-0 Saturday, while the Warriors got past the Mustangs 1-0 Sunday.
