Delaney Williams scored first with an assist from Lucie Turcotte. Kate French was next to score the final goal of the night for KUA. The Wildcats fought hard through the rest of the game. Unfortunately, there was not enough time to make up the score, and the Wildcats lost a 5-3 game.
The Wildcats went into this game ready to defend their undefeated title. With an early goal from New Hampton School, KUA battled hard and refused to give up. New Hampton scored two more goals over the following two periods. A five-on-three powerplay towards the end of the third period yielded some excellent opportunities, unfortunatly, the Wildcats were unable to score. While a defeat is disappointing, the Wildcats still have an excellent 7-1 record this season.
