Crystal Stewart was barely tested in the StFX net for the win while Amy Howard handled the netminding duties for the Varsity Reds.\r\n\r\nSunday�۪s game against the Universite de Moncton Aigles Bleues was a closer affair, though the X-Women came out on top with the 4-3 victory. Kelly Boudreau opened the scoring for the X-Women with a first period goal, then Moncton took a one goal lead after goals were scored by Marieve Provost and Marie-France Noel. The lead switched again after Anna Barrett and Catie Gavin scored second period goals to give the X-Women the edge, but Moncton kept fighting back as Kristine Labrie tied the game at 7:40 in the third period. Christina Davis scored the game winning goal for X just a few minutes later and the X-Women were able to hold onto the lead for their tenth win of the season. Katie Harvieux earned the win in nets for StFX with 20 saves, while Kathy Desjardins took the loss for the Aigles Bleues.\r\n\r\nThe X-Women are in sole possession of first place in the AUS conference, three points ahead of second place Saint Mary�۪s.
