The Tigers started the game off strong with Maeve McCloskey (Georgetown, ON), opening the scoring in the 4^th minute.

The Tigers doubled their lead just ten minutes later when a corner is whipped into the Mounties 18-yard box and Tigers defender Hannah Firstbrook (Nepean, ON) connects to find the back of the net.  

A few minutes later, Mounties Isabel Tanfara (Quispamsis, NB) made an important save from inside the 18 yard-box, stopping the Tigers from adding another to their tally.

The bleeding was only stopped momentarily with Tigers Elise Evans (Toronto, ON) making it 3-0 in the 36^th minute.

The Tigers made it 4-0 right before halftime when Tigers Paris Axam's (Ottawa, ON) corner kick found the head of teammate Megan Chiasson giving the Tigers a comfortable lead heading into the locker rooms.

A quieter second half saw Tanfara continue her impressive performance in net. The Tigers were able to find a way around her one last time in the 78^th minute when Chloe Richardson (Calgary, AB) found the back of the net for the final goal of the game. The final whistle gave the Tigers take all three points with a 5-0 final score.

Tigers Hannah Firstbrook was named the player of the game in the win.

Both teams will be back in action next weekend. Mount Allison will host the STFX X-Women next Friday at 5:00pm whereas the Tigers will return to action and host Cape Breton next Saturday at 1:00pm.
