NU lakersIt took a little bit but the Nipissing Lakers women’s hockey team were able to pull off a 3-1 victory last night against the Toronto Varsity Blues.

The Lakers were down 1-0 until the third period where Kait McManus scored her first OUA goal. It was assisted by Natalie Graham and Ava Keis.

Then around the later part of the third period, Carly Marchment scored the goal that threw the team in the lead.

Finally, to finish things up for the Lakers, Kayla Carter scored the final goal of the game in the final minute of play. Lakers goalie Jackie Rochefort let past just one goal while making 17 saves.

This win puts the team third in the OUA Standings.

Next up for the Lakers is an afternoon game against the Ryerson Rams. They face off at Memorial Gardens today at 4pm.
