Huskies deliver defensive battle in OT win over Dinos
It felt like deja vu on ice Friday night when the University of Saskatchewan Huskies women’s hockey team pushed their game against the University of Calgary Dinos into overtime.
Saskatchewan opened scoring 13:37 into the first period at Father David Bauer Arena when first-year forward Taylor Wilkinson passed the puck from behind the goal line to a perfectly-positioned Kelsey Hall.
“It was a good neutral-zone breakout and just a really good forecheck by Kate Ball and Taylor,” Hall said, describing the moment. “I just got lost in the zone. Sure enough I was out front and I just made sure to bury it.”
Hall got that goal, her second of the season, past Dinos’ dynamite netminder Gabriella Durante, who came into Friday’s tilt with the most saves in U Sports hockey so far this season with 395.
