PRÉVOST BOOSTS BLUE TO A 5-2 WIN OVER YELLOW Rockland, Ont. – The puck flew up-and-down the ice, and both teams exchanged goals to keep the score close, until Carolyne Prévost stepped it up a notch late in the second to kick off her hat trick and help boost Blue to a 5-2 win over Yellow during intersquad action Thursday night. But despite Blue’s convincing victory at Canada’s National Women’s Under-22 Team/Development Camp, Yellow was the team to crack the scoreboard first, with blueliner Lauriane Rougeau (Beaconsfield, Que.) taking a quick snap shot from the point at just over five minutes into the first. But before the period was done, Blue’s Natalie Spooner (Scarborough, Ont.) evened the score, taking a pass out front from Mélodie Daoust (Valleyfield, Que.) and sending a snap shot soaring into the back of the net at 14:21 in the period. The fast-paced, back-and-forth action continued unto the second, with Laura McIntosh (Waterloo, Ont.) scoring a powerplay marker at 13:36 in the period and both Brianne Jenner (Oakville, Ont.) and Sasha Nanji (Markham, Ont.) helping out. But less than two minutes later, Blue answered back again, when Prévost scored her first of the night off quick passes from Jessica Campbell (Melville, Sask.) and Isabel Ménard (Ottawa, Ont.). The Prévost-Menard combination continued to click on the ice, with Menard again assisting Prévost just over a minute into the third to give Blue the 3-2 edge. From then on out, it was all about Blue, with Prévost capping off her hat trick less than 30 seconds later by carrying the puck into the offensive zone, cutting across the slot and letting a beauty backhander go high into the Yellow net. Tara Watchorn (Newcastle, Ont.) also assisted, and then followed up with a goal of her own at 8:53, when she took a D-to-D pass from linemate Cassandra Poudrier (Lachenaie, Que.) – and a brief pause – before taking a quick and accurate wrist shot to top of her team’s 5-2 win. Yellow will have a chance for redemption when it faces off against Blue again, this Sunday, August 14 starting at 7 p.m. ET at the Canadian International Hockey Academy in Rockland. |
