FREDERICTON, NB - The UNB REDS defeated the Saint Mary's Huskies 3-1 in Atlantic University Sport women's hockey action on Saturday, in UNB's annual Pride Game.
In support of the theme, the REDS sported special Pride jerseys.
First-year RED Lilly Bell (Waterloo, ON) was named the Tim Horton's Player of the Game.
The REDS started strong on defense, allowing the Huskies only two shots on net in the first period.

The REDS wasted little time in extending that lead in the second period with back-to-back goals by Bell and Katelyn Scott (Almonte, ON) just 48 second apart, at 0:36 and 1:22.
Despite continued pressure in the second, Huskies' goalie Ridleigh Hansen (Red Deer, AB) held off further REDS attempts.
