Box Score The Laurier Golden Hawks skated away with a 3-0 shutout victory over the Warriors at the CIF arena on Friday night in the first battle of Waterloo of 2012.

After a scoreless first period, Laurier found the opening goal midway through the second as Jessie Hurrell (Palgrave, Ont.) picked off a Waterloo clearing attempt and fired it home past a helpless Rebecca Bouwhuis (Orillia/).

Laurier added to their lead with only 17 seconds remaining in the second frame as Caitlin Muirhead (Waterloo, Ont.) went end-to-end and finished it off on the blocker side of Bouwhuis.  The goal sent the dejected Warriors into the locker room down two.

The home side would show their fight in the third with quality chances by Jessica Tracey (Woodslee/) and Kelly MacLean (St. George/) but the veteran forwards to not find an opening past Brown.  Devon Skeats (Whitby, Ont.) would add an empty netter to give the Hawks the 3-0 victory.
