(MONCTON, N.B.) - Rookie Britanny Poitras scored twice to lead the Université de Moncton Aigles Bleues (2-1-0) to a 5-0 win over the University of Prince Edward Island Panthers (1-2-0), Friday in an AUS women's hockey game, at the J.-Louis-Lévesque Arena.
Jodie Dupéré, Marie-Pier Corriveau and Natasha Bergeron had the other goals.
Moncton took a 3-0 lead in the first period to dominate the game. There was no second period scoring.
Gabrielle Forget registered the shutout by facing 22 shots compared to 33 for Marie-Soleil Deschênes.
"We did dominate in the first and third periods," said Moncton head coach Denis Ross. "We had a little difficulty in the first 15 minutes of the second. We are switching our focus to the Saturday game."
