After scoring in each of the three periods, the York University Lions women's hockey team earned their third win of the season with a 3-0 win over the Brock Badgers.
The win was highlighted by a 24-save shutout from
Julianna Thomson, who equaled their career-high in shutouts with her first of the season.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Brooke Anderson scored the game's opener in the first period, managing to squeeze the shot past Tiffany Hsu in Brock's goal after some great play from Lexy Anonech.
- The second was scored by Alexa Giantsopoulos with a shot off the crossbar and in over Brock goaltender Tiffany Hsu's left shoulder.
- The final goal was scored by Jenn Shaw to seal the game for the Lions with Anonech recording her third assist of the season.
- Anderson also had an assist on each of the other two Lions goals, bringing her into the team-lead of seven points on the season.
- York held off a late Brock charge shutout despite being penalized in the final minute of the game and the Badgers bringing on an extra skater for a 6 on 4 advantage. The Lions held strong to record an impressive victory.
