Box Score Game Summary

The University of Alberta Pandas opened the floodgates early on and coasted to a 9-0 victory over the Regina Cougars on Friday night in a Canada West women's hockey game at Clare Drake Arena.

The Pandas (5-0-0) scored four goals in the span of 4:28 midway through the first period and never looked back. Tarin Podloski, Leah Copeland, and Jennifer Newton each scored a pair for Alberta, while Sarah Hilworth, Stephanie Ramsay, and Alana Cabana had one goal each.

Dana Vinge was called upon to make only eight saves for Alberta in the shutout.

The bright spot for the Cougars (0-5-0) was rookie goaltender Naticia Leskun, who came on in relief of starter Lisa Urban after Alberta's ninth goal. Alberta peppered Leskun with 15 shots in just under 15 minutes, but she stopped all of them.

Alberta was 2-for-7 on the power play, while the Cougars were 0-for-3 with the man advantage.

The teams will play again on Saturday night at Clare Drake Arena.
