Chartrand shines as 山ǿ women undress Ottawa

Published: 3 January 2009

MONTREAL – Defenceman Cathy Chartrand along with forwards Vanessa Davidson and Lainie Smith, each tallied twice as the No.1-ranked 山ǿ Martlets dumped Ottawa 8-2 at the Theresa Humes women’s hockey tournament at Concordia’s Ed Meagher arena, Saturday.

It extended 山ǿ’s win streak to 35 consecutive games against Canadian university opponents and was Ottawa’s 15th consecutive loss to 山ǿ. The Martlets own a 29-2-1 record in their last 32 meetings versus Ottawa.

The 山ǿ win, combined with Toronto’s 4-1 victory over the host Stingers, pits U of T against 山ǿ in the tourney finale on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. Concordia will meet Ottawa for third-place in the eight-team tourney at 1 p.m.

Vicky Wells, a sophomore from Oshawa, Ont., and Amy Soberano, a junior from Toronto, rounded out the scoring for 山ǿ. Joelle Charlebois of Kenora, Ont., and Samantha Delenardo of Keswick, Ont., replied for the Gee-Gees who became just the third CIS team this season to score more than one goal against all-Canadian netminder Charline Labonté, the Olympian from Boisbriand, Que., who was credited with 11 saves as 山ǿ outshot Ottawa 36-13. The 5-foot-8 physical education junior owns an 85-9-3 record in 97 starts overall for the Martlets.

Chartrand, a native of Lac Nominingue, Que., opened the scoring at 2:16 of the first period and netted the game-winner at only 44 seconds into the middle stanza. A former national team member, the 5-foot-10 sophomore rearguard has three markers and an assist heading into the final. In 19 games overall, she has nine goals and 25 points.

“Cathy has played extremely well in this tourney,” said 山ǿ head coach Peter Smith, who also coaches with the national team. “She’s been dominant and serves as an inspirational leader on this team On the rare times that she makes a mistake out there, it is certainly not from a lack of effort but rather from giving too much of an effort.”

Davidson, a senior from Kirkland, Que., finished with three points and lost her attempt for a hat-trick when an apparent third-period goal was disallowed because the net had been knocked off its moorings.

Smith, a freshman from Aurora, Ont., scored one of her two markers shorthanded. 山ǿ has now tallied six times while serving a penalty this season. They have allowed only four power play goals in 83 shorthanded situations this season.
