Winning ways continue in come from behind victory over Hawks

Box Score The women's hockey team continued their winning ways on Sunday afternoon, earning a comeback victory to top cross-town rivals Laurier Golden Hawks 4-3 on Sunday afternoon at the CIF Arena.  The win was Waterloo's fifth in a row as the black and gold improved to 8-3-1 on the season and sit in fourth spot just one spot back of second place Queen's and Western in the OUA standings.

Waterloo opened the scoring in the dying minutes of the first period as Marissa Redmond (Ajax) made a strong move to the outside and shot it against the grain to beat Hawks keeper Lauren Webber on the glove side.  Redmond's third goal of the season was assisted by Paula LaGamba (Toronto) and Michelle Tanel (Toronto). 

Down 1-0, Laurier found their game in the opening four minutes of the second period with three goals, chasing starting goalie Rebecca Bouwhuis (Orillia) from the net.  Dollee Meigs, Madison MacCulloch and Jessie Hurrell provided the scoring, all four minutes apart and Stephanie Sluys (Clinton) came in to the net for the Warriors. 

The goalie switch gave the Warriors a spark and they turned their offense back up with several quality chances.  Waterloo was rewarded for their hard work at 14:15 as Rachel Marriott (Waterloo) netted a rebound goal off of a Alyssa Gee (Ajax) shot.  Siobhan Hewitt-Kenda (North Vancouver) was given the second assist as Waterloo went into the second intermission down 3-2.

The Warriors continued the pressure into the third period and found the equalizer as Amy Barnard (Cambridge) fired her first of the season past Webber on the power play.  Stephanie Digness (Aldergrove) was credited with the lone assist on the tying marker.

The two combatants looked destined for overtime but Marriott had other ideas for the Warriors as the third year centre put home her second of the game to lift Waterloo to the 4-3 win.  Hewitt-Kenda and Gee picked up the assists as Marriott's line teamed up for six points in the win.
Webber allowed four goals on 32 shots while Sluys was perfect in relief of Bouwhuis stopping all 17 shots she faced.  Overall the Hawks put 27 shots on target.

The red hot Warriors will close out 2015 with a tough road challenge against the number one team in the country, the Guelph Gryphons who sit first in the OUA with 25 points.  The game will be played on Thursday night at 7pm in Guelph.
