Taylor Kezama scores in double OT to lift Alberta over McGill for U Sports gold
NAPANEE, Ont. — Rookie defenceman Taylor Kezama scores 8:13 into double overtime as the University of Alberta Pandas defeated the McGill Martlets 2-1 on Sunday to win the U Sports women’s hockey championship.
It’s the eighth national title in the program’s history, which is the most all-time in U Sports, and first since 2010.
“This team is remarkable,” said Alberta coach Howie Draper. “They work so hard, sacrifice themselves, and they deserve this.”
Amy Boucher also scored for No. 6 Alberta while fifth-year goalie Lindsey Post made 40 saves in her final career game, earning her first national championship.
