"Hatt" Trick Powers Huskies over Mounties

(SACKVILLE, NB) It was a battle of two teams looking to bounce back from losses in their previous game as the Mount Allison women's hockey team took to the ice at Tantramar Veterans Memorial Civic Centre to play host to the Saint Mary's Huskies on Friday night.

The visitors struck first on the power play as 5^th year forward Miranda Hatt (Regina, SK) took advantage of the Mounties being down a player to put the Huskies up 1-0 at 12:48 in the first period. Before the period was out however the Mounties were able to even the tally as Tallon Stephenson (Lloydminster, AB) was able to find the back of the net on the power play. The first period would end with both teams tied at 1 apiece.

Though the Mounties held a 5-on-3 early in the 2^nd period, they were unable to come up with a goal as Miranda Hatt doubled her goal tally for the night shortly after penalties ended to put the visitors up 2-1. Miranda completed her "Hatt Trick" later in the period while on the power play again, as the Huskies doubled their lead to go up 3-1 midway through the 2^nd. Reese Chuback (Headingley, MB) would pull a goal back for the Mounties with 32 seconds left in the period as the teams began the third period with the Huskies holding a 3-2 lead.

Ashley Penney (Lawrencetown, NS) put the game away for the Huskies as her goal midway through the 3^rdperiod, again on the power play, made the score 4-2, the score which would remain for the rest of the game. Miranda Hatt received AUS Player of the Game honours for her 3-goal performance.

Saint Mary's (4-2-1) are back on the ice Friday, November 3^rd at 7:00pm as they travel to Antigonish to take on StFX. Mount Allison (0-5-1) also play their next game on the road at StFX, on Sunday, October 29^th. Puck drop in that one is set for 3:00pm.
