The York University Lions women's hockey team took on the UOIT Ridgebacks Saturday in the Lions' first of two home games this weekend. This exciting game saw the Lions claim a 2-0 victory over the Ridgebacks.
 
The first period remained scoreless. Second-year forward Christina Chin scored for the Lions in the second period, giving the Lions a 1-0 lead over the Ridgebacks. Avery Reeves had the assist on this goal. After a stoppage to fix a loose board behind the Lions' net, the Lions added a second goal from Kelsey McHolm, who was assisted by Jenna Gray and Courtney Gardiner.
 
The Lions were able to foil all of the Ridgebacks' attempts to score and led 2-0 at the end of the second period.
 
The third was scoreless as well despite many close calls for the Ridgebacks, but Lions' goaltender Eva Hall made 16 saves and earned herself a shutout between the pipes.
 
The Lions improved to 6-0-10-3 for 21 points and moved ahead of the Ridgebacks by three points. They are now 10^th in the OUA standings.
 
The Lions will be back at Canlan on Sunday for their annual Roar for the Cure game, and they will take on the first-place Queen's Gaels in the contest. Puck drop is set for 2pm.
