Box Score
The ninth annual Think Pink campaign kicked off on Sunday with the women's hockey team taking on the No. 8 Nipissing Lakers.  Nipissing would skate away with a 3-1 win to take over first spot in the OUA with a record of 7-1-0.  The Warriors fell to 5-3-0 on the season, good for fourth in the OUA with 14 points.

Nipissing opened the scoring at 5:30 of the first as Laura McKenzie beat Warriors starting goalie Stephanie Sluys (Clinton).

The score would remain 1-0 into the opening seconds of the third period when Waterloo's red hot power play struck after a perfectly executed give and go between Rachel Marriott (Waterloo) and Marissa Redmond (Ajax) was put away by Marriott, her fourth of the season and ninth point in the last four games.  Stephanie Digness (Aldergrove) earned the second helper on the goal playing quarterback on the power play.

Nipissing would however regain their lead as Jetta Derenoski put her Lakers up 2-1 with 14 remaining in the final frame.  

The Warriors would pour on the pressure but could not find the equalizer as Nipissing's tender Jacqueline Rochefort stood her ground allowing her team to put the game away with an empty netter.  Rochefort stopped 25 of 26 shots for the win while Sluys allowed two goals on 24 shots.

Waterloo will be back in action on Friday to play the Varsity Blues in Toronto before returning to the CIF Arena on Sunday to face Windsor at 2:30pm.
