Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 The Nipissing Lakers women's hockey team had an up and down weekend.

The team hit the road for a pair of games and finished with a split – a 6-1 loss to the Guelph Gryphons and a 5-0 win over the Brock Badgers.

In the first game, despite scoring the opening goal, the game got away from Nipissing.

Abby Lunney found the back of the net just before the midway part of the first period, setup by Tessa Kosec to give the Lakers a one goal lead.

Guelph would tie the game late in the period – the first of six straight goals.

With the score 1-1 in the second, the Gryphons scored four goal and added another in the third to seal the win.

In the second game of the weekend, the Lakers bounced back in a big way.

Nipissing scored in every period on their way to a shutout victory.

Katie Chomiak buried a power play marker in the second and Emma Neff added another goal late in the middle period.

Another power play goal, this time from Malory Dominico, put the Lakers up 4-0 midway through the third.

Madison Laberge capped off the scoring with less than a minute to go in the game to make the final 5-0.

Maggie McKee earned three assists, Chomiak and Kosec added helpers for two-point efforts, Lunney, Megan Hayhurst and Lana Duriez also grabbed assists in the contest.
