Axemen trounce Tommies

Tommies rookie D-Man, Ian Saab

 In AUS men's hockey action tonight at GHC the Acadia Axemen showed why they are the #1 team in the conference as they out hustled, out shot and out scored the Tommies cruising to a 9-1 win.

The Axemen scored 5 unanswered goals before the Tommies were able to get on the score board at 11:03 of the 3rd when Brendan Childerley counted an unassisted PP goal.

The Tommies were out shot 41-11 and although Jon Groenheyde made several outstanding saves especially in the first 2 periods, the team could not muster any offensive threat.

The Tommies now need to regroup, forget about tonight and prepare for the Dalhousie Tigers tomorrow evening.

In AUS Women's exhibition action from Concordia University this afternoon, the Lady Tommies were defeated 5 to 2 by the University of Ottawa.

The Tommies allowed two goals in the first period but rebounded in the second frame to tie the game with goals from Teah Anderson (J. Scott) and Jordan Miller (Savoie, Thomson).

The Gee Gees scored 3 unanswered goals in the third for the win.  Kristin Wolfe was tagged with the loss facing 35 shots.  STU fired 17 shots at the Ottawa net.

Next game for the Ladies is tomorrow evening at 7 PM AST vs. Concordia.
