The York University Lions women's hockey team fell to the No. 4 nationally-ranked Western Mustangs on Sunday afternoon (Jan. 17) by a score of 2-0 at Canlan Ice Sports.
 
The Lions could not find any room in the Western zone as the Mustangs defence shut down any Lions attack. The Mustang defensive wall was led by the starting goaltender Kelly Campbell as she stopped all 22 shots in the win.
 
Lions starting goalie Megan Lee (Orillia, Ont.) was once again in top form as she stood on her head for the majority of the game. Lee was faced with countless scoring chances where she came up clutch, which kept the game close. She finished with 17 saves in the loss.
 
The scoring didn't begin until the mid-way point of the second period as Katelyn Gosling beat Lee high blocker side with a shot from the point. The Mustangs were not finished there, as they came galloping back and potted another goal to add to their lead. Marlowe Pecora poked in a loose puck in the crease that provided the insurance marker the team wanted.
 
After the loss the Lions now fall to 2-3-7-2 and are 10^th in the OUA standings, eight points out of the last playoff spot. The Mustangs improve to an impressive 10-1-4-0 and continue to climb in the OUA standings, now sitting second.
 
The Lions are back on the ice on Friday night (Jan. 22) when they travel to Ryerson to take on the 2-0-11-1 Rams downtown Toronto. Puck drop is set for 7:30pm.
