The Lakeland Rustlers women’s hockey team defeated the Medicine Hat Rattlers 8-0 at home on Jan. 17.
The Rustlers scored early and controlled the game from start to finish. Asha Petrie opened the scoring at 4:26 of the first. Janay Williams and Claudia Lammers added goals later in the period.
Lammers struck again on a power play in the second period making it 4-0. Alyssa Shaw scored just minutes later with Addison Eurich adding another before the period ended.
In the third, Keyra Buziak scored on another power play. Olivia Mann finished the onslaught scoring the team’s eighth goal at 10:37.
Lammers led the team with two goals. Hailey Carothers recorded two assists.
Starting goalie Mackenzie Gould-Sharpe earned the shutout in net.
Head coach, Morgan Mann, said it was a good game for their team to take some lessons going forward.
“Medicine Hat played hard and they are physical,” said Mann. “We value that because we have to equal that work ethic and physicality during the game.”
With the win, the Rustlers remain first in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference with a 15-2 record. They head into a home and home with the third-place Red Deer Polytechnique Queens this weekend.
