The NAIT Ooks are ACAC Women's Hockey Champions for the 1st Time

The NAIT Ooks required for four games to take the best of five championship final series and to win their first ACAC championship in women's hockey.

On Thursday, February 28th at the NAIT Arena in Edmonton, Karli Reeve lit the lamp twice and Jill Diachuk posted the shutout as the NAIT Ooks blanked the Red Deer College Queens 3-0.

On Saturday, March 2nd at Red Deer, Nicole Gregoire and Sherri Bowles netted second period goals for the Ooks as they shaded the Queens 2-1.

On Friday March 8th at Edmonton, Laura Salomons netted the tiebreaker at 11:48 of the third as RDC edged NAIT 3-2.

On Saturday, March 9th at Red Deer, Michelle Pochapsky completed the hat trick and added an assist as the Ooks downed the Queens 4-1.

The Ooks won four of six regular season meetings during the 2012-13 campaign.

The two teams had never met before in the finals, but split four previous playoff series.

The most recent post season meeting between the two teams occurred in the 2009-10 semi finals with NAIT winning the best of five series in four games.
