Steph Burnett and Christine Vidal scored for the Gaiters, while Alison Burgess and Catrina Gugliemucci scored the other Concordia markers.

SATURDAY: SHERBROOKE RW 6, POLAR BEARS 2
On Saturday, the Polar Bears dropped a 6-2 decision to the Sherbrooke RW senior team. The Polar Bears got off to a slow start, and fell behind 3-0 in the first half of the first period. The Bears rebounded in the latter stages, keyed by goals from Sacha Vanasse Gauche and Lindsay Hamilton, but the visitors cruised to the 6-2 victory. Undisciplined play also cost the Bears, as they took ten minor penalties in the game.
