The Mounties would even the score 15 minutes into the 2nd period when senior Julia Aurora banged in a rebound around the Panthers net. Lucy Newman and Jordyn Clark drew assists on the equalizer.
The Panthers scored the eventual game winner just 50 seconds into the 3rd period when Taylor Gillis found herself open in the slot and buried one past Mounties goalie Bianca Zak.
Zak stopped 29 of 31 shots she faced in goal for the Mounties. Weeks kicked away 25 of 26 shots in the Panthers net.
The Mounties finish out first half play with a road game at Moncton on Sunday, November 28th.
