Box Score Coming off yet another win – their 11th straight – the Nipissing Lakers women's hockey team had one more bit of unfinished business.

With the chance to make it 12 wins in a row, remain undefeated at home and cap off the first half of the season with all kinds of momentum, the Lakers once again hosted the Toronto Varsity Blues.

It took a late game comeback and some overtime heroics, but Nipissing got it done, winning 3-2 in overtime.

In a fast-paced opening period, the teams combined for 21 shots – 13 by the Lakers – but neither team was able to find the back of the net.

While each team had a few quality chances, there was nothing to report offensively.

Three minutes into the second period, the Lakers finally broke through and made it 1-0.

Ashlyn Zaharia recovered a loose puck and shoveled it into the net to give Nipissing the advantage, with the lone assist going to Lana Duriez.

Toronto would tie the game late in the period and send the teams to the second intermission all tied up at 1-1.

Shots were even as well, reading 18-18 through 40 minutes.

The Blues would take the lead in the third before the Lakers provided some dramatics late in the contest.

As Nipissing signaled to pull the goalie, Katie Chomiak continuer her outstanding season, burying her 10th of the season to tie the game with 1:25 left in the third.

Maggie McKee grabbed the assist on the tying goal.

After great chances at both ends, a line change sprung McKee who made no mistake, snapping home the game-winner to give Nipissing the victory.

Chantelle Sandquist was back between the pipes for Nipissing, finishing with 30 saves, while the Lakers had 29 shots of their own on the Blues net.

The Lakers are now off until January where they'll continue the OUA regular season.
