The York University Lions women's hockey team was defeated by a score of 2-1 in double overtime by the Waterloo Warriors at Columbia Ice Field on Saturday afternoon.
 
In the first period of play the Warriors would capitalize off of a power play at 3:24 when Rachel Marriott scored the first goal of the game. The Lions were unable to beat Waterloo goaltender Stephanie Sluys in the first period and it would end with a 1-0 Warriors lead.
 
All 20 minutes of the second period went scoreless as both goalies put on a clinic. York goaltender Lauren Dubie (London, Ont.) would end up recording 19 saves in the game, including six in the middle frame.
 
The third period saw more offensive action from the Lions as they scored their first goal of the contest in a very similar way as the Warriors. At 1:32 Leah Hibbert (Winnipeg) scored on a power play to tie the game. The assists were credited to Rianna Langford (Collingwood, Ont.) and Lauren Cavarzan (Hamilton, Ont.).
 
The third period would end in a 1-1 tie and the game would head to overtime.
 
One overtime period was not enough to settle the score, but the Warriors' Angela MacDonald scored the game-winning goal at 1:41 of the second extra period for the Waterloo victory.
 
With the loss the Lions move to 1-1-5-3 on the season. Their next game will take place on Sunday afternoon when they travel to London, Ont., to take on the Western Mustangs.
