SUDBURY, Ont. – Goals from four different players helped the Western Mustangs women's hockey team tally their second victory of the weekend with a 5-2 win over the Laurentian Voyageurs on Sunday afternoon at Countryside Arena.
 
With the win, the Mustangs now hold a 4-0-1 record, good for second place in the OUA standings, while the loss for the Voyageurs gives them 0-5-1 record.
 
Both teams got off to a slow start in Sunday's game, as neither team was able to put themselves onto the scoreboard in the first period, sending the match scoreless into the first intermission.
 
In the second frame both teams came back out onto the ice determined to take the advantage, and it was the Voyageurs Samantha Morell who was able to strike first, capitalizing on a power play just over two minutes into the period to give Laurentian a 1-0 lead.
 
The Mustangs responded midway through the period as Cassidy Gosling found the back of Laurentian goaltender Emily Toffoli's net to cut the blue and gold advantage and even out the score.
 
The score wouldn't stay even for long however, as Julie Hebert scored Laurentian's second power play marker of the day less than three minutes later to give the Voyageurs a 2-1 lead they'd take into the second intermission.
 
Western came out of the second break with victory on their minds, and it definitely showed out on the ice as the purple and white dominated the period. Katelyn Gosling tied up the scoreboard with a goal just over three minutes in, and two minutes later Cassidy Gosling racked up her second goal of the game to put the Mustangs ahead 3-2.
 
Kendra Broad made her way onto the score sheet once again on Sunday, as she added a goal at 9:40 to further the Mustangs advantage 4-2 and extend her scoring streak to three games. The Lindenwood University transfer is now tied with Cassidy Gosling as the Mustangs leading goal scorers.
 
The Mustangs continued to control the play throughout the period and it was Madison Turk who scored the Mustangs fifth and final goal in the 5-2 victory.
 
Katie Jacobs got the win in net for the Mustangs, stopping 23 of the 25 shots she faced in her first regular season action of the year. Despite taking the loss Toffoli was impressive in the Laurentian net, stopping 38 shots in over 55 minutes of ice time.

The Mustangs will be back on the road on Saturday, November 1^, and Sunday, November 2, as they face-off against the Laurier Golden Hawks on Saturday before going up against the Waterloo Warriors on Sunday. Puck drop is set for 7:30 pm and 2:30 pm respectively.
