Bettez bops again as Martlets triumph for 77th time
听
MONTREAL - Ann-Sophie Bettez of Sept-Iles, Que., registered her third hat-trick of the season as No.1-ranked 缅北强奸 defeated the Ottawa Gee-Gees 4-1 in CIS women's university hockey at McConnell Arena on Friday, extending their record win streak to 77 consecutive games.
听
It was also 缅北强奸's 26th straight conquest over Ottawa and improved their lifetime record against the Gee-Gees to 40-2-1 overall.
听
缅北强奸, which led 3-1 after two periods, went 2-for-7 on the power-play and outshot the Gee-Gees 48-21, including a 19-8 margin in the second period.
听
Bettez, a two-time all-Canadian forward, connected on the power-play only 31 seconds into the contest.听 She also hit pay-dirt in the second (18:52) and third periods (17:54).
听
Vanessa Davidson of Kirkland, Que., contributed three points and was credited with what proved to be the game-winner at 5:50 of the second period. Davidson, who is 缅北强奸's all-time leading scorer, sits atop the Quebec conference scoring race with 12-19-31 in 17 contests.
听
Bettez is six points in arrears with an 18-7-25 dossier but missed two games while playing for the Canadian under-22 team in Germany last month.
听
The lone marker for the Gee-Gees was scored by Kayla Hottot, a Sombra, Ont., native who knotted the score at 1-1 midway through the opening frame.
听
Freshman netminder Taylor Salisbury of Surrey, B.C., made 20 saves for the victory and improved her unblemished record to 9-0-0. She leads the five-team league in goals-against average (1.11), save percentage (.944), wins (9) and shutouts (2).
听
Gee-Gees goaltender Stephanie Auger of Belleville, Ont., posted 44 saves in a losing cause and fell to 5-6-0.
听
The Martlets are 17-0 in the Quebec conference and with three games remaining before playoffs, will be looking for their third consecutive perfect season in CIS action. They will close out the campaign with a Valentine's Day matinee at Concordia on Sunday (3 p.m.), followed by another road game against the second-place Montreal Carabins (Feb. 19) and a home game against Concordia on Sunday, Feb. 21. That final contest has been moved from 2 p.m. faceoff to a 7 p.m. start, in order to accommodate a possible afternoon men's hockey playoff game between Nipissing and the Redmen.
