Concordia opened the scoring in the 64th minute of play on their first shot of the game. The Martlets then roared back to score five goals in 13 minues in the middle of the second half. Hannah Rivkin tied the game at 1-1 in the 67th minute, setting the stage for Morin-Boucher's hat-trick in the 70th, 74th and 75th minutes.

"We were flat the first 60 minutes, playing too slow and not able to generate anything dangerous offensively," said McGill head coach Marc Mounicot. "However, we reacted positively after Rivkin's goal and finally started clicking offensively.

"Momentum can change so quickly and that's exactly what happened. I like the way that some of our players were upset when Concordia took the lead and took care of business."

The Martlets are now 4-0-1 and still tied for first place with Montreal. McGill plays next on Feb. 20 against Laval at the Leclerc soccer facility in Quebec City. No doubt, the Martlets will be looking to avenge their semifinal upset to Laval in the outdoor season last fall.
