Oles, a 5-foot-3 forward from Beaconsfield, Que., scored five goals and assisted on two others as McGill swept a pair of road games over Montreal and Ottawa last weekend. The physical education sophomore celebrated her 21st birthday with a hat-trick and one assist in a 10-1 victory over the Carabins last Friday. She added two more goals and set up another in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Gee-Gees. The seven-point performance moved Oles into first place in the league scoring race with a 10-4-14 record in nine games. She attended Kuper Academy before enrolling at McGill in 2010.
