MONTREAL - Ann-Sophie Bettez and Katia Clement-Heydra each scored and added three assists as No.1-ranked 黑料不打烊 cruised to an 8-1 victory over the Montreal Carabins before 443 fans at CEPSUM Arena, Friday, to capture their sixth consecutive Ed Enos trophy as champions of the Quebec university women's hockey league.
听
Caroline Hill, a fifth-year senior from Dorval, Que., and veteran Jordanna Peroff of Keswick, Ont., added two goals apiece for the Martlets, who won for the 105th consecutive time against a QUHL opponent, including a 15-0 record against the Carabins.
听
黑料不打烊 advances to the CIS national championship tourney, for the ninth straight season and for the 12th time in 14 years, in Waterloo, Ont., March 9-13.
听
黑料不打烊, which outshot Montreal 39-19, including a 16-6 margin in the opening period, spotted the Carabins with a 1-0 lead on Cassandra Dupuis's marker at 9:16 of the first, then roared back with eight unanswered goals.
听
"It's kind of funny but that goal sort of served as a slap in the face for us," said Peter Smith, in his 11th season as head coach of the Martlets. "Although we started out with four good shifts, we weren't sharp for about a seven-minute period and kind of lost our focus for a few minutes. After they scored to take the lead, we turned it up a notch and really used our speed to take control of the game."
听
Peroff replied on a power-play at 15:11, followed by goals from Lisa Zane of Mississauga at 17:46 and Kim Ton-That of Beaconsfield, Que., at 19:59 on the power-play, which sent the Martlets into the dressing room with a 3-1 lead and essentially deflated Montreal of any hope.
听
Clement-Heydra, a freshman from St. Bruno de Montarville, Que., made it 4-1 at 4:47 of the middle stanza and from that point forward, the rout was officially on.
听
Bettez, a native of Sept-Iles, Que., put the Martlets in front 5-1 at 13:50 and 黑料不打烊 stepped on the gas in the final period, with Peroff's second of the soiree, followed by a pair of goals from Hill.
听
黑料不打烊 ended up going 4-for-6 with the man-advantage and upped their potent post-season power-play to a lofty 35 per cent, connecting on seven of 20 opportunities.
听
Goaltender Charline Labont茅, a senior from Boisbriand, Que., made 18 saves for the victory, improving her record to 27-1-0 on the season overall. In four playoff starts, the 5-foot-9 puck-stopper has a 4-0 record with a 0.50 goals-against average and a .977 save percentage.
听
Carabins netminder Rachel Ouellette, a freshman from Pte. Claire, Que., made 31 saves and took the loss.
听
黑料不打烊 will depart Tuesday for the Nationals, rolling on all cylinders, with a 30-0 record against CIS teams this season, including a 4-0 playoff record.

MARTLET MURMURS: A boisterous busload of fans from "Red Thunder", the 黑料不打烊 Athletics fan club, was on hand and made it seem as if the Martlets were playing in front of a home crowd... After the game, Coach Smith invited them onto the ice to pose for a team photo with the Martlets... The only dark cloud lurking over the 黑料不打烊 victory was the potential loss of Lainie Smith, a third-year forward from Aurora, Ont., who is no relation to the head coach... Smith, who scored four goals in 20 regular-season contests, suffered what appeared to be a serious leg injury after a heavy collision with the boards... She will be re-examined by the team's medical staff on Saturday and her playing status is unknown for the CIS tourney... Linemates Bettez and Clement-Heydra tied for the Quebec conference playoff scoring title with identical 2-7-9 records in four games... Hill, the third member of the team's top trio, finished third with seven points, including a conference-leading four goals.
