Game Summary

RED 5 – WHITE 1 (Scrimmage #4)

Blayre Turnbull (Stellarton, N.S.) and Jaime Bourbonnais (Mississauga, Ont.) finished with a goal and an assist apiece as Red pulled away late to earn a 5-1 win over White in the finale Friday afternoon at the BFL National Women’s Team Training Camp, presented by Sobeys. Rebecca Leslie (Ottawa, Ont.), Jessie Eldridge (Barrie, Ont.) and Brianne Jenner (Oakville, Ont.) added the other goals for Red, which took three of the four scrimmages at camp. After a period-and-a-half of scoreless hockey, Bourbonnais set up Leslie midway through the second for the opening goal. Mélodie Daoust (Valleyfield, Que.) responded on the power play for White with four minutes left in the third period, but Turnbull gave Red back the lead for good with a man-advantage marker with just 29 seconds to go in the frame. Red dominated the fourth and final period, getting goals from Bourbonnais, Eldridge and Jenner in a span of 6:59 to wrap up the scoring.
