(St. John's, NL) – The Memorial Sea-Hawks were defeated 3-0 by the StFX X-Women on Saturday afternoon at King George V pitch.

After dropping the first match of the weekend last night, the X-Women responded with a strong effort from the opening whistle.

The visiting X-Women were rewarded in the 12^th minute of action with a goal off the foot of Olivia Czipf (Thunder Bay, ON) after receiving a great pass from Chloe Brennan (Brookside, NS). The X-Women would strike again in the 32^nd minute. Brennan again setup the goal, this time the finisher was Mercy Myles (Accra, Ghana), who beat Sydney Walsh (St. John's, NL) on the short side.

The X-Women would go into the halftime break up 2-0.

The Sea-Hawks looked to turn the tables in the 2^nd half, with multiple scoring opportunities in the first 25 minutes of the half. X goalkeeper Rachel Hawkins (Calgary, AB) held her ground and recorded the clean sheet for the visitors.

StFX would score one more time to make the final 3-0.

Subway Player of the Game was Catherine Kennedy.
