LENNOXVILLE, Que. - The Bishop's Gaiters women's hockey team returns to the ice for the final weekend of 2021 RSEQ action. On Friday, the Gaiters will travel to Ottawa to face the Carleton Ravens at 7PM before returning to Lennoxville on Sunday to host the Montréal Carabins at 3:30PM.
Bishop's sits at 3-7-0-0 in the standings after ten games of regular season competition. Carleton holds the same 3-7-0-0 record while Montréal sits in third spot in the RSEQ standings with a 5-4-0-1 record.
FRIDAY @ CARLETON
The Gaiters opened the 2021-22 season against the Carleton Ravens in Ottawa on October 29th and now, in the final road trip of the semester, the purple and white will return to the Carleton Ice House. This Friday night's game will mark the third match-up between the two teams this season. Carleton took the season opener in the nation's capital by a score of 3-1 but Bishop's returned the favour two weeks later in Lennoxville, defeating the Ravens by an identical 3-1 scoreline. The Gaiters will look to take the semester series when they step on the ice in Ottawa.
SUNDAY vs MONTRÉAL
The Carabins will travel to Lennoxville for Sunday's matinee match-up. The Gaiters women's hockey team competed against the Montreal Carabins on Halloween Sunday in the 2021 home opener and secured a 4-3 win. In the second meeting between the two teams, the Gaiters defeated the Montreal Carabins, this time on the road, by a score of 2-1 to take a 2-0 series lead this season. The Carabins are coming off of two big wins last weekend against the Concordia Stingers and Ottawa Gee-Gees but the Gaiters will aim to sweep the pre-December break series.
