The Mounties added to their lead in the 2nd period, first with Sophomore Jennifer Bell scoring 6 minutes into the 2nd period to give the Mounties a 2-0 lead. The Mounties stretched their lead to 3-0 when Mackenzie Lalonde scored top shelf with 6 minutes to play in the 2nd.
After being outshot 8-6 in the first period, the Mounties carried the play for the rest of the night, oushooting the Panthers 11-2 in the second periond and 10-4 in the 3rd period. Martin was solid in goal when tested and the Mounties defense had their strongest outing of the young season.
The Mounties return to action on Sunday, November 9th when they host the StFX X-Women at 2PM at the Tantramar Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
