OUA roundup: No. 2 Golden Hawks still perfect
WATERLOO, Ont. - The No. 2 nationally-ranked Wilfrid Laurier
Golden Hawks scored three goals in the first three minutes of the
game en route to a 9-0 victory over the visiting Waterloo
Warriors.
Laurier remains undefeated with a 19-0-0 record, while Waterloo
falls to 6-11-2 and a tie for eighth place in the OUA.
"Tonight the goal was to play 60 minutes," said Laurier head coach
Rick Osborne. "We needed to work on our offence
and we played hard right to the end."
Laurier's Kate Psota (Burlington, Ont.) opened the
scoring on the power play at just 1:26 into the first period on a
nice backhand shot from the side of the net. Candice
Styles (Orangeville, Ont.) scored just over a minute later
followed by Heather Fortuna (Kitchener, Ont.) at
3:12.
The scoring trend continued in the second with Fiona
Lester (Peterborough, Ont.) and Andrea
Ironside (Collingwood, Ont.) scoring and Psota picking up
her second of the match. Kaley Powers (Kingston,
Ont.) picked up her 10th of the season in the third and both
Ironside and Styles scored their second of the game. Styles had a
five point night and is now third on the team in points with
18.
In the third both teams got into penalty trouble, slowing down the
pace of the game. Laurier went 3-for-9 with the man-advantage while
the Warriors went 0-for-6
"This weekend reinforced the depth in lines one through four for
us," said Osborne. In the Hawks previous game against the
Warriors, a 4-1 win, each of the goals came from a different
line.
The Hawks peppered the visiting Warriors with shots, 48 all told.
Waterloo fired 16 at Hawk netminder Liz Knox
(Stouffville, Ont.) who picked up her ninth shutout of the
season.
Laurier will continue their home stand on Friday, Jan. 22 when they
host the Windsor Lancers at 7:30 p.m.
