U de M runs over Tommies

Several of the walking wounded played this afternoon for the Lady Tommies but it was Moncton that walked away with the win, defeating the Tommies 5 - 2. Charity Walls, Jessica Holt, and Katie Brewster were all in the line up.

It didn't take long for the Aigles Bleues to get rolling. Janie LeBlanc scored 18 seconds into the game to stake Moncton to the early lead. It would grow 77 seconds later as Moncton crashed the net and Marieve Provost scored for the two goal cushion. In fact they crashed the net and goalie so hard that Kristin Wolfe had to be taken to the hospital. She suffered a concussion and bruised spine. The goal stood and Julia Sharun was forced to take over less than two minutes into the game. Marieve Provost, with her second of the game, would score at 15:31 to widen the gap to 3. Shots favoured Moncton 11-8.

The second period would see U de M surge ahead by four goals at 1:32 off the stick of Janelle Ouellette. That was the only goal of the period as Moncton out shot St. Thomas 8-5.

STU would counter early in the third when Katie Brewster snapped a quick shot from the low slot for a goal at the 42 second mark with the hard earned assists going to Charity Walls and Dominique Bernier. Moncton's Kristine Labrie would regain the four goal margin at 11:32. Charity Walls countered at 17:08 from Kayla Blackmore and Katie Brewster to make it a 5-2 UdeM victory.

Final shots were 34 to 19 for Moncton with St. Thomas' power play unit going 0 for 3 and the PK unit a perfect 6 for 6. STU still sits 2 points up on Saint Mary's for third in the AUS. The Huskies defeated Dalhousie 3-1 this afternoon. T & T article
