Lions score four unanswered to top Warriors

Box Score The York Lions scored four unanswered goals, including three in the third period to hand Waterloo their second loss of the season.  Kristen Barbara scored two goals for the Lions in the win as York improved to 2-3-0 on the season.  With the loss the Warriors dropped to .500 with a 2-2-1 record.

The Lions allowed their opponents to jump out to an early lead in the first period. The Warriors found the back of the net just 2:24 into the opening period on a goal by Amy Barnard (Cambridge/), and less than three minutes later increased their lead to two when Kelly Toms (Ennismore/) scored at 4:45.
 
The Lions got one back before the first was over, however, when rookie Renata Bastos Gottgtroy (Auckland, New Zealand) scored her second goal in as many games, this one with a teammate in the penalty box, at 12:54 to cut Waterloo's lead to 2-1.
 
Neither team was able to generate many scoring chances in the period and they combined for just 15 shots on goal, and the Warriors led 2-1 going into the break.
 
The defensive affair continued in the second as both goalies stood tall to prevent any more goals, and the Warriors continued to lead heading into the third.
 
Barbara finally solved Waterloo goaltender Rebecca Bouwhuis (Orillia/) (Orillia, Ont.) early in the third, and the Lions added another power play goal three-and-half-minutes later when rookie Mariah Krancevich (Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.) scored the first goal of her career, what turned out to be the winner before Barbara rounded out the scoring.

Bouwhuis allowed four goals on 28 shots while York's netminder Jessalyn Bogacki stopped 20 of 22 shots faces.

The Warriors return to the CIF arena on Saturday to face the Guelph Gryphons at 2:30pm before Brock comes to town on Sunday.
