Box Score LONDON, Ont. — After losing their last game against the first place Laurier Golden Hawks, the Mustangs were looking to get back into the win column this weekend. First up were the struggling Ryerson Rams who sit in last place in the OUA standings.
 
Despite trailing early, the Mustangs managed to score four unanswered goals to come back and earn the 4-1 victory at Thompson Arena.
 
In the early minutes of the first frame, Ryerson’s Jessica Hartwick was called for a tripping penalty. However, the Mustangs failed to capitalize on the opportunity, and instead Rams defenseman Mackenzie Manning scored a shorthanded goal to give her team the early 1-0 lead.
 
Midway through the first, Katelyn Gosling scored to even the game at 1-1.
 
The game would remain tied until late in the second period when Tara Cation was fed a pass from Marlowe Pecora to put the ‘Stangs up by one.
 
The Mustangs strong offensive play would continue in the third period as Jessica Ross shot the puck past Ryerson’s goaltender Emma Crawley at 2:25 of the frame.
 
Undisciplined play from the Rams would prove to be their downfall as four of their 11 penalties would come in the third period. Although the Mustangs failed to convert on earlier powerplay opportunities, at 9:12 of the third with the man advantage, Gosling scored her second goal of the game to put the Mustangs up 4-1, which is the way the game would end.
 
Mustangs goalie Olivia Ross turned away 16 shots in the winning effort.
 
The Mustangs will take on the Toronto Varsity Blues tomorrow at Thompson Arena. The game begins at 4:00 p.m.
