Bettez rocks, Martlets roll, extend streak to 37
OTTAWA – A travel-weary Ann-Sophie Bettez tallied three points
as the No.1-ranked ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Martlets dumped Carleton 6-2 in women’s
university hockey at Ottawa, Saturday.
The Martlets extended their win streak to 37 consecutive games
against CIS opponents. ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ has also won 29 consecutive games
over Carleton and improved to 41-0-1 lifetime against the Ravens
with 24 shutouts.
Bettez, a physical education sophomore from Sept-Iles, Que., who
returned from Germany on Wednesday where she competed for Canada at
the world under-22 championships, netted what proved to be the
game-winner at 16:11 of the opening frame, giving ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ a 3-1
lead.
Midway through the second period, Bettez set up Marie-Andrée
Leclerc-Auger’s marker to make it 4-1. She then assisted on Vanessa
Davidson’s 10th of the season, increasing the lead to 5-2 at 7:57
of the final period.
Bettez, who was voted CIS rookie-of-the-year in her freshman
campaign, has a 10-14-24 record in only seven regular season games.
She is just three points shy of leading the nation in scoring,
despite playing four less contests than Moncton’s Marieve Provost,
the CIS scoring leader.
Other ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ marksmen in the win over Carleton included Alessandra
Lind-Kenney of Calgary and Toronto native Amy Soberano (both of
whom scored their fourth of the season), plus Jordanna Peroff of
Keswick, Ont., who notched her third.
Scoring for the Ravens was Jennifer Gordon of Perth, Ont., and Tara
O’Reilly of Varna, Ont.
The Martlets held a 39-28 advantage in shots as netminder Charline
Labonté of Boisbriand, Que., made 26 saves, including a number of
breakaways. She improved to 17-0-2 on the season overall and 87-9-3
in a ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ jersey. Her next start will be the 100th of her career
with the Martlets, which would break the team record held by Kim
St-Pierre, who had 99 starts among her 103 games played at ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ
from 1998 to 2004, posting a 50-39-12 record.
Ravens’ goaltender Amanda Muhlig of Sarnia, Ont., made 33 saves and
took the loss as her record dropped to 2-3-0.
Carleton (3-6-0) plays at Concordia (2-8-0) on Sunday.
ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ, which improved to 8-0-0 in the Quebec conference and 22-2-0
overall, will play at Concordia on Jan. 17, where they will attempt
to improve upon their 23-game win streak against the Stingers since
the last Concordia win, a 2-1 decision at the Ed Meagher arena on
Feb. 5, 2006.
