The Lady Tommies fought through their short bench and defeated Mt. Allison 1-0 in Sackville this evening. Julia Sharun faced 24 shots for the shut out victory.
There was no scoring in the first period with both teams registering 8 shots. The Tommies picked it up in the second frame out shooting the Mounties 13 - 8 but STU could not solve Jennelle Hulan in the Mt. Allison net.
In the third period STU came out strong and were finally rewarded at 12:15 when Kayla Blackmore carried the puck over the the Mt. A blue line, Kelley Matthews drove to the net bringing two defenders with her. This allowed Sweet Caroline Hammerheim to go unchecked on the far side and when Blackmore's shot rebounded, Hammerheim shot the puck home. This was all Sharun would need as the Tommies dominated the third out shooting the Mounties 22-8.
Charity Walls and Jessica Holt did not dress for this game. Next action for the Ladies will be Sunday afternoon in Moncton against first place U de M.
UPDATE: Jason Cassidy passed along the original CBC audio interview that led to the Aquinian feature we linked to in this week's Tombits. Enjoy on YouTube.

this speaks to how poor a team MTA must be. Points are nice but how much it must cost a university to play a game like this. FOLD MTA
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should just fold women's hockey altogether? Hey, if you have a vagina don't play hockey, you don't fit in with the other pr***ks!!!
ReplyDeleteComments like the one above are disgusting because rest assured it was a male and HE doesn't understand what many females have dealt with just to play hockey. A sport that doesn't demand a penis to play.
Thank-you so much to UNB for dropping their program and paving the way for others to use you as an example. It isn't always about money...if it were all of us would get rid of our own children because they are a cost but we don't because (male or female) we love them. UNB didn't love its women's hockey and used any lame excuse they could find.
God bless. Go Tommies.
Any wonder that PMS is listed in the book of Mental disorders???
ReplyDeleteThat is funny.
ReplyDeleteThat book was probably written at UNB in 2008. It goes along well with their other modern classics "Why Women should not be allowed to vote" and "Bare Foot and Pregnant - The Keys to a Sucessful Life".

ReplyDeleteFold the STU mens team they hang out in the basement as much as MTA Ladies team. Speaking of waste of money lets spend a million dollars a year on a last place team that draws a crowd of about 300 at the bottom of average a attendance a game in aus as well with DAL. Think before you type!!!
ReplyDeletethe mens team has nothing to do with this comment. Quit grasping at straws. But while were at folding basement teams, lets fold the Leafs as well.

I second fo folding the leafs...do we have a third
ReplyDeleteSad to say this but last night's performance has something to do with coaching abilities to communicate the mission and motivate the team to carry it out.This team is no longer playing for their coaches and it's time for a change before it gets any worse,comments above about the restrictive roles that previous assistant coaches have had under head coach Eagles is exactly one of the major reasons that it is not working,maybe there is a miracle or two or 3 left to prove everybody wrong about the men's hockey situation but I doubt it.
