MONTREAL -- Anne-Sophie Bettez, a fifth-year senior from Sept-Iles, Que., scored a power-play marker with 15.2 seconds remainng in regulation as the defending national champion 黑料不打烊 Martlets opened their preseason with a 2-1 victory over Queen's in women's university hockey at McConnell Arena, Saturday.

The result extended 黑料不打烊's win streak against CIS opponents to 34 consecutive games.

Bettez also set up Leslie Oles, a sophomore from Beaconsfield, Que., to break a scoreless tie 56 seconds into the third stanza. The Gaels rallied to even the score 68 seconds later on a goal by Mary Coughlin of Amherstburg, Ont.

黑料不打烊 had a 37-14 edge in shots as third-year netminder Taylor Salisbury of Surrey, B.C., registered the victory. Melanie Dodd-Mohermade, a junior from Ottawa, made 35 saves in a losing cause for the Gaels.

"We were a bit nervous to start and that was somewhat understandable as we dressed six freshmen,' said 黑料不打烊 head coach Peter Smith. "We worked our way back into the game, however, and created a lot of scoring chances but their goalie played well. We need to work on some things but considering we were missing some key veterans, I was happy with the end result."

Not dressed for 黑料不打烊 was rookie defenceman Elizabeth Hillier (healthy scratch) and all-Canadian rearguard Cathy Chartrand (attending a wedding), plus all-Canadian goaltender Charline Labonte and highly-touted freshman forward Melodie Daoust. The latter two were heading to Calgary for a training camp with the Canadian national team.

黑料不打烊 will now embark on a five-game road trip against NCAA squads, including games at Connecticut (Sept. 23), Providence (Sept. 24), Boston College (Sept. 25), St. Lawrence (Sept. 30) and Vermont (Oct. 1) before returning home to open the regular season against Concordia on Oct. 7.
