MONTREAL - Defenceman Cathy Chartrand of Lac Nominingue, Que., scored once and set up two others as the No. 1-ranked McGill Martlets skated to a 5-2 win over Concordia in women's hockey at McConnell Arena, Saturday.
For the Martlets, who finished atop the standings with an unblemished 20-0 record, it was McGill's 101st consecutive win against a Quebec league opponent and pushed their win streak against Concordia to 38 games.
McGill, which led 2-0 after the first period and 4-0 after two, had a 37-15 edge in shots on net. Charline Labonte of Boisbriand, Que., improved to 17-0, tying the single-season school record for goaltender victories which she established as a freshman in 2006-07 and equaled the next season.
Chartrand, the team captain who leads the conference scoring race with 29 points in 20 games, was one of three defencemen to score for McGill. Others included Gillian Ferrari, a former national team member from Thornhill, Ont., and rookie Adrienne Crampton of Toronto. Rounding out the scoring was sophomore Kim Ton-That of Beaconsfield, Que., and Alessandro Lind-Kenney, a senior from Calgary, who netted what proved to be the game-winner early in the second period.
Replying for the Stingers was Natalie May of Richmond, B.C., and Alyssa Sherrard, a rookie from Bathurst, N.B.
McGill is scheduled to host fourth-place Carleton in the first-game of a best-of-three semifinal series, beginning either Wednesday or Thursday, depending on who McGill plays in the men's semifinal series slated to open the same day.
