While there was no panic or worry in the Nipissing Lakers women's hockey team's dressing room, they did want to get on a roll before the Christmas break.

And after two key wins this weekend, Friday over Toronto and a 3-2 win Saturday over Ryerson, they're looking good.

Winners of three of their last four, the Lakers picked up the full six points and have climbed into the top five in the league after a slower start than they would have liked.

Robyn Degagne got the scoring started with a power play marker in the first period which gave Nipissing the lead after 20 minutes.

Kaley Tienhaara and Zosia Davis drew the helpers on Degagne's third of the year.

Nipissing went up 2-0 on Brianna Gaffney's first career OUA goal less than a minute into the second and the Lakers looked to be in control.

The Rams had different plans, however, as they scored twice before the end of the frame, including a goal with 12 seconds left, to send the teams to the dressing rooms tied 2-2.

The lone goal of the third period and game-winner, came off the stick of the league's hottest player, as Maria Dominico scored her sixth goal of the season to give Nipissing the victory.

Tienhaara and Madison Solie earned assists on the winner.

Jackie Rochefort made 13 saves in net for the Lakers, earning the win.

Nipissing will hit the road next weekend and play a single game at York on Saturday afternoon.
