SPARTANS GET WEEKEND SWEEP OF ALBERTA PANDAS

EDMONTON, Alberta – Second-year goalie Olivia Davidson (Edmonton, Alta.) made 21 saves to help lead the Trinity Western Spartans to a 4-0 win over the No. 7 Alberta Pandas Saturday night at the Clare Drake Arena in Edmonton, Alberta. The win gives the Spartans four straight of the Pandas and improves the Spartans to 7-3-1-0 in Canada West play, while the loss drops the Pandas to 3-5-1-1.
 
Scoring for the Spartans were fourth-year forward Kara Yackel (West St. Paul, Man.) with her fifth of the year, fifth-year forward Kyra McDonald (Inuvik, NT) with her fourth of the year, fifth-year forward Jordyn Matthews (Okotoks, Alta.) with her third of the year, and fifth-year forward Chloe Reid (Leduc, Alta.) with her sixth of the year.
 
Alberta's Misty Rey made 17 saves in the Pandas' loss.
 
UP NEXT
After a week off, the Spartans will now head to southern Alberta to take on the Calgary Dinos on November 14-15 at the Father David Bauer Arena. Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m. (MT) and 2 p.m. (MT). Both games can be seen live on Canada West TV.
 
QUOTABLE
Peter Hay, TWU Head Coach
"Really happy for Olivia Davidson to get her first U SPORTS shutout. Our team played the right way inside and to our identity again, which was very successful. When everyone puts on the work helmet and focuses on the little details, we become a very strong team, and goals, points, and wins come naturally. I am very proud of every player on this team, as everyone brought value to these wins.  I was really happy with our players' ability to adapt to some different strategies and execute them well. We now get a nice break with a bye week to prepare for the next road trip to Calgary."
AS IT HAPPENED
Yackel got the Spartans' first goal just before the opening period ended with a goal at 19:33. TWU broke the game open with two second-period goals. McDonald scored at 8:33 and Matthews made it 3-0 at 15:56. Reid finished off the scoring at 3:03 of the final period to make the final 4-0 for TWU.
