Slow Start Sets Back the Ridgebacks on the Road

Women’s Hockey – Waterloo defeated UOIT 5-0

Waterloo, Ont. – It was a slow start for the UOIT Ridgebacks women’s hockey team in their game against the University of Waterloo as they allowed the Warriors to score three goals in the first three minutes of the game enroute to a 5-0 loss on Sunday afternoon.

After the sluggish start, UOIT tried to get back into the game but Waterloo netminder Erica Bridgewater stopped all 20 Ridgeback shots for her first shutout of the season.

Waterloo would end up out shooting the Ridgebacks 37-20 in the game. Both teams went scoreless on the power play going 0-for-4 with the man advantage.

UOIT (2-8-0 conference) will look forward to some home cooking next weekend as they take on the York Lions (3-6-0 conference) on Friday, November 14 and Queen’s University (4-4-1 conference) on Saturday, November 15 at the Campus Ice Centre. Both games are at 7:30 p.m.
