OTTAWA – Sophomore Ann-Sophie Bettez of Sept Iles, Que., chalked up four points and Vanessa Davidson tallied twice and had one assist as No.1-ranked McGill skated to and easy 6-1 win at Carleton in women’s hockey, Saturday.

It extended McGill’s win streak to 28 consecutive games against Canadian university opponents and halted the Ravens win steak at three. McGill has also won 28 consecutive games over Carleton and improved to 40-0-1 lifetime against the Ravens with 24 shutouts.

Bettez scored once and added three helpers to maintain a three-point bulge over Davidson atop the QSSF scoring race with a 6-9-15 record in only five games.

The Martlets, who were missing the services of head coach Peter Smith, goaltender Charline Labonté and defenceman Catherine Ward, all currently with the national team, thoroughly dominated the game and held a 45-10 margin in shots on goal, including a lopsided 20-1 edge in the final period.

McGill led 1-0 after one period and 4-1 after two as assistant coach Amey Doyle upped her career record to 20-1-1 when filling in for Smith behind the McGill bench.

Other McGill markers went to forwards Carly Hill, a junior from Dorval, Que., sophomore Vicky Wells of Oshawa, and Marie-Andree Leclerc-Auger, a rookie from Sherbrooke, who was credited with the game-winner. It marked the first time in five league games that a McGill rearguard was kept of the scoresheet.

Goaltender Kalie Townsend of Sangudo, Alta., registered just nine saves for the win, while Amanda Muhlig made 39 saves in a losing cause.

Raven’s captain Tara O’Reilly scored the lone goal for Carleton, which fell to 3-4-0.  The Martlets improved to 5-0-0 and will host Concordia on Saturday, Nov. 15 at 2:30 p.m.
