The Waterloo Warriors delivered a commanding performance against the TMU Bold this evening, securing a decisive 5-1 victory and showcasing their offensive prowess throughout the game.

The Warriors set the tone early, dominating possession and keeping play firmly in TMU's defensive zone. Keiara Raitt (Ancaster, ON) played a pivotal role, neutralizing the Bold's offensive attempts with strong back checking. Their persistence paid off late in the frame when Nikki McDonald (Stoney Creek, ON) found the back of the net, giving Waterloo a well deserved 1-0 lead heading into the intermission.

Waterloo opened the second period with a power play, maintaining control and executing smooth breakouts. Lyndsy Acheson (Summerland, BC) excelled at connecting pinpoint passes through the neutral zone, setting up clean transitions. Midway through the period, Emma Thornton (Kitchener, ON) dazzled with a slick dangle between two defenders, creating space in the slot and scoring a highlight reel goal under pressure. This pivotal moment extended the lead to 2-0. Acheson soon added another goal, further cementing Waterloo's momentum, though TMU responded late to make it 3-1.

The final period saw Waterloo continue to dominate. Their offensive intensity remained high, leading to additional goals from Leah Herrfort (Palmerston, ON) and Thornton, who capped off the scoring. The Warriors controlled the pace and consistently tested TMU's defense, reflected in the final shot count of 44-22.

The Warriors aim to carry this strong performance into tomorrow's matchup against the Toronto Varsity Blues on November 30th.
