OTTAWA - Vanessa Davidson of Kirkland, Que., scored the game-winner and assisted on a power-play goal by Ann-Sophie Bettez of Sept-Iles, Que., as No.1-ranked McGill blanked Carleton 2-0 in women's hockey at the Ice House in Ottawa, Saturday. It was the 76th consecutive victory for the Martlets, who had a 35-22 edge in shots and improved to 16-0 in the Quebec conference.
In men's hockey, defenceman Ben Gazdic of Toronto tallied twice on the power play and added an assist as the visiting McGill Redmen skated to a 4-1 win over the Ottawa Gee-Gees. Simon Marcotte-Légaré of Longueuil, Que., and Evan Vossen (shorthanded) of Swift Current, Sask., added singles. The Redmen, who lead the nation with 11 shorthanded markers, outshot Ottawa 43-19. McGill improved to 20-6 and sit two points behind division-leading UQTR (20-3-2) with two games remaining before playoffs. The Redmen will host UQTR on Monday at McConnell Arena.
