WHKY | Vees Shutout Ryerson 1-0, Move into 7th Place
January 21, 2017
On Saturday afternoon, the Voyageurs women's hockey team shutout the visiting Ryerson Rams 1-0 and moved into sole possession of the seventh seed in the standings.
The first period was relatively uneventful as neither team was able to score.
The second period was similar to the first, although the Vees had to kill three penalties in the second and Karen Collins remained perfect as she stopped all seven shots she faced in the period.
The game remained tied at zero until the Vees were finally able to break the tie on the powerplay nearing the end of regulation. Morgan McCann scored at 16:44 on a play assisted by Ellery Veerman and Taylor Weber to give the Voyageurs the lead. Karen Collins shut the door on the Rams in the final minutes of play as she had done all afternoon to earn the shutout and the victory.
The Vees are back in action tomorrow afternoon as they host the visiting University of Toronto Varsity Blues at 1:50PM.
