Tigers push winning streak to three, defeat X-Women 3-0

The Dalhousie Tigers improved to 3-1-1 after a 3-0 victory over the StFX X-Women on Wednesday night at Wickwire Field. The Tigers came out flying and poured the shots on StFX keeper Nicole MacDonald, who made three saves in the loss.

Reigning AUS Subway Female Athlete of the Week Kristy McGregor-Bales put the Tigers up 1-0 after burying a header in the 23rd minute. The Tigers continued to dominate play and didn't allow a shot in the first half.

Coming out of the half the X-Women seemed to be rejuvenated and nearly scored, but Tigers keeper Shannon Junor made a key save on a StFX breakaway.

Elise Bilodeau scored in the 76th minute to make it 2-0 for the Tigers.

"We played well, I'm very proud of all of us. It was great to great to get our first win on home turf. It was nice to see different people contributing to the attack," said Tigers striker Bianca Jakisa, who leads the AUS with three goals.

Joanna Blodgett added a third goal for the Tigers in the 85th minute, who are on a three game winning streak.

The X-Women will look to rebound when they take on the Mount Allison Mounties on Saturday, September 21 at 1:00pm in Antigonish.

The Tigers will look to make it four wins in a row when they take on the Acadia Axewomen on September 21 at 1:00pm in Wolfville.
