The newly reinstated UNB Reds women's hockey team is finding their stride. After opening the season with four losses, three in overtime, the Reds are now on a four-game win streak.

After topping Mount Allison and UPEI last weekend, the Reds managed to topple the defending AUS champion Saint Mary's Huskies 3-2 in overtime Friday night in Fredericton, N.B. 

They followed that up with a 3-1 win over the Dalhousie Tigers Sunday at home, moving to fourth place in the conference standings with a 4-1-3 record.

They'll face the crosstown rival St. Thomas Tommies (6-2-0) Wednesday night at the Grant-Harvey Centre, followed by the Moncton Aigles Bleues (4-5-0) Saturday afternoon at home.
