Saint Mary's defender Anna Barrington scored a pair of goals, helping lead the Huskies to a 7-2 win over the UPEI Panthers on Thursday night at the Dauphinee Centre in Halifax, N.S.

The Huskies opened the scoring just five minutes into the action, as Ava Shearer (Windsor, NS) fired a shot that was denied by Panthers goaltender Sarah Forsythe (Riverview, NB) but Mia Faseruk (Winnipeg, MB) was able to stuff in the rebound to put the hosts ahead 1-0, 5:25 into the first period.

But the Panthers leading scorer got one back midway through the period, as Brooke Henderson (Halifax, NS) came out of the penalty box and was sent on a breakaway, beating Saint Mary's netminder Sophie Scully (Ottawa, ON) with a low shot to tie the game at 1-1, 10:52 into the first period.

The Panthers outshot the Huskies 13-10 through the opening 20 minutes, and the two teams went into first intermission deadlocked at 1-1.

UPEI came into the second period with energy, peppering Scully with shots but the Huskies goaltender was able to keep them away.

The Huskies took advantage of a counter attack six minutes in, as after Scully made a save, forward Kara MacLean (Antigonish, NS) carried the puck into the Panthers zone, playing a pass in front to Keyara Nelson (Belleville, ON) who dropped a puck off for defender Abigail MacKenzie (Stellarton, NS) who made no mistake with a backhand shot, giving the Huskies a 2-1 lead.

Just over two minutes later, the Huskies doubled their lead, as MacKenzie fired a shot from the slot that was tipped in by Keyara Nelson, extending the Saint Mary's lead to 3-1.

The Saint Mary's attack kept on coming, as just over a minute later, after a series of missed shots, the puck found its way back to the point where defender Anna Barrington (St. John's, NL) fired a rocket slapshot that beat Forsythe high, extending the Huskiea lead to 4-1, 9:55 into the second.

The Huskies added another less than two minutes later as forward Charlotte Buffie (Winnipeg, MB), won a faceoff back to Abigail MacKenzie, who fired a shot that was blocked by Forsythe, but Buffie followed up the rebound for the fourth unanswered goal of the period, giving Saint Mary's a 5-1 lead and causing the Panthers to change goaltenders to Erin Cabaday.

Anna Barrington's second goal of the night made it 6-1, as she scored a powerplay marker off a pass from Gillian Lapierre.

The Panthers were able to cut into the deficit just before the period expired with Brooke Henderson scored her second goal of the night, and AUS leading ninth of the season with just nine seconds remaining, cutting the hosts lead to 6-2.

The Huskies outshot the Panthers 12-9 in the second period, and took a 6-2 lead into the third.

Saint Mary's would add one more goal in the third, with Avery Cant (Waterloo, ON) cleaning up a Kara MacLean (Antigonish, NS) rebound to put the Huskies ahead 7-2. Cant's ninth goal of the campaign tied the Panthers Brooke Henderson for the AUS lead in goals.

Anna Barrington was named Player of the Game with two goals, while Abigail MacKenzie (one goal, two assists), Keyara Nelson (one goal, two assists), Charlotte Buffie (one goal, one assist) and Kara MacLean (two assists), also recorded multipoint nights for the Huskies. With three points on the night Abigail MacKenzie leads the AUS with 16 points (two goals, 14 assists).
