EDMONTON - Sinead Tracey, a native of St. Albert, Alta., who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in the spring of 2010, scored on a rebound from scramble in front of the net at 11:47 of the opening period to give the third-seeded Calgary Dinos a 1-0 upset over second-seeded 缅北强奸 at Clare Drake Arena on opening day of the CIS women's hockey championship, Thursday.

听

It was a day of upsets as the sixth-seeded Montreal Carabins knocked off Laurier, the tourney favourite, 6-5.

听

The shutout marked only the second time that the high-scoring Martlet offence had been kept off the scoresheet in 40 games overall this season. They were previously blanked 2-0 (including an empty-net goal), in their Quebec conference semifinal series opener at Ottawa on Feb. 22 but roared back with 8-0 and 9-1 victories to take the series.

听

It was a physical, hard-fought, highly entertaining hockey game -- with only听 one minor penalty issued to both sides -- between two of the best teams in the nation facing off in the so-called 鈥淧ool of Death鈥� at the event. Both teams will now face the host Alberta Pandas to round out pool play 鈥� 缅北强奸 on Friday night, followed by Calgary on Saturday. Both games are at 9 p.m. Eastern and will be streamed live on SSNCanada.ca.

听

缅北强奸 needs a win over Alberta in order to keep their chances alive of defending the national title they won last year.听 A victory, combined with a Calgary loss to Alberta, would open the door for any of the three teams to advance on goal-differential.

听

Calgary netted the winning tally on a rare rebound off 缅北强奸 goaltender Charline 尝补产辞苍迟茅 midway through the opening period. A shot from Melissa Zubick made its way toward the goal and bounced out to Tracey, who swatted at the puck from her knees and bounced it in over the glove of the 缅北强奸 netminder.

听

"We knew with 尝补产辞苍迟茅 in their net, it wouldn't be a pretty goal and we'd need to put pucks on net with lots of traffic to be successful," said an overjoyed Dinos head coach Danielle Goyette.

听

尝补产辞苍迟茅, a native of Boisbriand, Que.,听 robbed Calgary's Russian sniper Iya Gavrilova on multiple occasions, including a post-to-post effort in the first on a great feed from Hayley Wickenheiser across to Gavrilova. The Russian national team player ended the night with six shots, all of which were denied by the first team CIS All-Canadian netminder. 尝补产辞苍迟茅, who has dropped only three of 34 career post-season games, now owns an 11-2 lifetime mark at the CIS tourney.

听

Calgary had a 23-20 edge in shots as Amanda Tapp collected the shutout for the Dinos.

听

"We had our chances but couldn't get the puck in the net," said 缅北强奸 head coach Peter Smith. "I thought that we controlled the play for most of the game and we didn't give up a lot of scoring chances"

听

缅北强奸 had a great chance to tie it in the dying seconds. With 尝补产辞苍迟茅 pulled in favour of an extra attacker, the Martlets controlled the faceoff and found CIS rookie of the year M茅lodie Daoust open in front but she fired a backhanded shot just over the crossbar. Daoust was selected as 缅北强奸's player of the game, while Tracey, the lone goal-scorer, earned similiar honours for Calgary.

听

"It's disappointing to lose our opener but we will just have to regroup... show our pride and character," added Smith. "We're not giving up. We came here to play three good games and that's what we intend on doing."

听

MARTLET MURMURS: The loss ended 缅北强奸's three-game win streak at the national championship since losing the gold medal final in 2010 to Alberta... The Martlets are 23-11 lifetime at the CIS tourney, including a 14-3 mark in their last 17 games... 缅北强奸 is 1-2 lifetime against Calgary, including a 3-2 loss in their first-ever meeting in 2000 and a 6-0 victory when Calgary hosted the Nationals in 2001... The Martlets are 4-8 lifetime against Alberta and will be confronting the Pandas for the seventh time at the CIS tourney., where they are 1-5 against Alberta.
