WATERLOO, Ont. – The Western Mustangs women's hockey team extended their winning streak to five games on Sunday afternoon with a 3-0 win over the Waterloo Warriors at CIF Arena.
 
The shutout win gives the Mustangs a 6-0-1 record in the OUA standings, while the Warriors now hold a 1-3-3 record on the season so far.
 
Both teams got off to a slow start in the opening period and despite efforts from both sides to get onto the scoreboard first, neither team was to capitalize on scoring opportunities, sending the match scoreless into the first intermission.
 
The second frame told a different story however, as Mustangs Kendra Broad opened the scoring just over a minute into the frame. The goal gives Broad a share of the team goal scoring lead alongside Cassidy Gosling as both players have recorded four goals on the season so far.
 
Later in the period the purple and white put up another point on the scoreboard as Stacey Scott netted a goal to further the Mustangs advantage to 2-0 heading into the second break.
 
In the final period the Warriors managed to out-shoot the Mustangs, firing off nine shots on Western's goaltender, Kelly Campbell. Despite having more opportunities on net, the Warriors were unable to get the puck between the Mustangs posts.
 
While Campbell and the Mustangs defence were able to shut down the Warriors, Emma Pearson added an insurance marker with just over six minutes left to secure a 3-0 win for Western.
 
The victory is the Mustangs second win over Waterloo this season, with the purple and white taking a 4-3 overtime win to open the season on October 11.
 
The Mustangs will be back in action on Saturday, November 8 when they face-off against the York Lions on home ice at Thompson Arena. Puck drop is set for 4 p.m.
