The Tommies came out hard in the first period and their effort was rewarded at 8:56 when Cassidy McTaggart (Scott) rushed down the right wing and fired a bullet past the X keeper. Less than 2 minutes later at 10:49 Brianne Bohn tried to centre a pass from the side of the net but the puck had eyes and found its way behind the X goalie into the back of the net to make it 2 - 0. St. Thomas would take this lead into the second period.
The middle frame was scoreless but the X-Women pushed hard to get back in the game outshooting the Tommies 16 - 5. Julia Sharun played an excellent game and held the fort during the barrage of shots.
The third was no different with X looking to get back in the game. They would cut the lead in half 1:58 into the final period but STU answered right back 28 seconds later at 2:26 when Jordan Miller scored unassisted. X had several power plays in the period but Sharun et al. were up to the task. With under a minute to play Kayla Blackmore (McTaggart) would get a partial break on a PP and salt the game away to make the final 4 to 1.
Final shots were 43 - 16 for St-FX and Julia Sharun was first star of the game. The Tommies are back at it tomorrow afternoon versus the Dalhousie Tigers, 2 PM at the LBR.
In men's action tonight from Moncton, U de M defeated STU 7 to 2. STU led early on goals by Steve Sanza and Robert Zandbeek but Les Aigles scored two quick ones and tied the game. Moncton scored 4 goals in the second period to salt it away. Charles Lavigne played two periods allowing 6 goals and Justin Collier came in for the third period allowing 1.
