The Hawks opened their tournament on the wrong foot, dropping a 2-1 decision to the Holy Names Knights, with Sophie Maine scoring the only goal for CKSS.
CKSS bounced back in their second round robin game edging L’Essor 3-2. Camlille Blain, Emma Doom, and Shayna Daly scored in the win.
In their final round robin game, the Golden Hawks defeated the St. Anne Saints 2-1, in what would turn out to be a tune up for the championship game. Carly Belanger and Shayna Daly had the goals.
Advancing to face Villanova, who currently sit atop the WECSSAA standings, in the semi-final, CKSS put together a dominant performance featuring goals from Ryanne Logan, Carly Belanger, and Megan Hakr. Villanova broke CKSS’ shutout late in the third, but the Hawks secured their spot in the final with a 3-1 decision.
Alison Stephens registered 3 assists from the backend in the round robin and semi-final.
The championship game again saw CKSS matched up against St. Anne after the Saints ousted Holy Names in the other semi-final. The Hawks peppered the Saints net, but it wasn’t until midway through the third period that CKSS broke the deadlock on a Payton Sabourin slapshot. Jessie McPherson registered the shutout in the 1-0 final.
