(SACKVILLE, N.B.) - A goal by Shelby Colton with 10 seconds left to play in overtime lifted the Mount Allison University Mounties to a 1-0 win over the Université de Moncton Aigles Bleues in an Atlantic University Sport women's hockey game played Sunday afternoon in Sackville.

Play was close most of the game as each team tried hard to get to the net, the Mounties having a 26-18 advantage on shots on goal. Goaltenders Émilie Bouchard for the Aigles and Kate O'Brien for the Mounties kept the puck out of their respective nets for the duration of regulation play.

"We played a lot better than on Saturday evening," said Moncton coach Denis Ross. "The play was about even and both teams were having ups and downs."

Each team had three minor penalties in the game.

The Mounties will visit the Dalhousie Tigers Friday at 7 p.m while the Aigles Bleues will host the UPEI Panthers at the J.-Louis-Lévesque Arena.
