缅北强奸

By Earl Zukerman

MONTREAL 鈥� Senior Vanessa Davidson of Kirkland, Que., and freshman Marie-Andr茅e Leclerc-Auger from Sherbrooke each tallied twice and added an assist as top-ranked 缅北强奸 had a lucky Friday the 13th and swamped Ottawa 7-1 to sweep the Quebec university women鈥檚 hockey championship in two games, at McConnell Arena, Friday.

缅北强奸, which won for the 51st consecutive outing against a Canadian university opponent, took home the league title for the fourth straight season and sixth time in school history.

鈥淚t鈥檚 great... I couldn鈥檛 have imagined this when I first joined the team,鈥� said captain Chantal Gauvin, a senior from Dollard des Ormeaux, Que. 鈥淚鈥檝e been here for all four championships and each one has had a different feeling, but they were all very satisfying.鈥� The 5-foot-8 rearguard reluctantly posed with the league鈥檚 Ed Enos trophy for photographers but her teammates refused to touch the hardware, in keeping with the superstitious tradition set by conference champions in the National Hockey League.

Catherine Ward, a third-year defenceman from Town of Mt. Royal, Que., added a goal and two helpers in yet another one of her trademark dominating performances. Rounding out the scoring for 缅北强奸 was senior Rebecca Martindale of Kingston, Ont., and junior defender Jasmine Sheehan of Mississauga, Ont.

Amber Foster of Kemptville, Ont., notched the lone Gee-Gees鈥� goal on the power play at 7:43 of the final period to make it 5-1, spoling Charline Labont茅鈥檚 bid for her 54th career shutout with the Martlets. The national team netminder from Boisbriand, Que., racked up her 25th consecutive victory on the season and improved her overall record to 102-9-3 in 114 career contests at 缅北强奸, including a 95-3-1 mark against CIS teams.

The Martlets, who had a 47-16 advantage in shots, led 1-0 after one period and 3-0 after two. The potent 缅北强奸 power play went 4-for-11, while Ottawa replied on one of three chances. The Martlets PP unit is operating at an astonishing 38.7 per cent success rate in post-season play (12-for-31).

鈥淲e were a little jittery at the start, perhaps too energetic,鈥� said 缅北强奸 head coach Peter Smith. 鈥淏ut we settled down and were all business after that. Our power play looked very good. We had good puck support, lots of shots and good scoring opportunities. There were no passengers in this game. Everybody had a solid effort.鈥�

Ottawa鈥檚 Marie-Helene Malenfant, a sophomore from Becancour, Que., making her first career playoff start, registered 40 saves in a losing cause.

Both 缅北强奸 and Ottawa have qualified for the CIS national championships in Antigonish, N.S., March 19-22 and are scheduled to head east on Tuesday morning. 缅北强奸, the defending CIS champion, enters the Nationals with a 37-2-0 record overall and their next victory will break the team鈥檚 single-season record established last year when they went 37-4-1.

MARTLETS MURMURS: 缅北强奸 has won 11 consecutive post-season games dating back to a loss to Alberta in the 2007 CIS gold medal game鈥� Leclerc-Auger, named rookie of the year, in the Quebec conference, will enter the CIS Nationals as the Martlets leading scorer with 45-44-89 in 39 games overall鈥� She needs five more markers to hit the rare 50-goal plateau for the second consecutive season after posting a 56-47-103 record in 27 games with Saint-J茅r么me in the Quebec junior college league last year... Davidson is second in the team鈥檚 overall scoring race with 38-44-82 in 35 games鈥� Other leading Martlet snipers include Ann-Sophie Bettez (34GP: 34-45-79), plus two defencemen -- Chartrand (33GP: 18-27-45) and Ward (31GP: 6-38-44)鈥� Labont茅 has only lost three of 99 career contests against CIS opponents 鈥� a 2-1 decision at Ottawa (F-10-07), a 4-0 (ENG) setback against Alberta in the 2007 CIS gold medal game in Ottawa (M-19-07) and a 2-1 OT shootout loss against Alberta at Guelph (D-30-07)鈥� The lone tie was a 3-3 overtime saw-off at St.FX (N-17-06).
