DARTMOUTH: Rebecca LeBlanc was strong between the pipes, and Lacey Poirier scored twice as the Lindsay Surge surged to a 5-1 Maritime Major Girls Hockey League victory.
The Sunday morning game against Metro rival, Greenfoot Energy Capitals, was played in Arena C at the RBC Centre in Dartmouth Crossing.
It was the back end of a home-and-home set between the two Halifax Regional Municipality clubs, with the Surge taking the Saturday game at the Greenfoot Energy Centre in Bedford on Saturday night.
On Sunday, the only blemish to Beaver Bank’s LeBlanc’s solid outing in goal was the goal the Caps scored on her with under a minute left in regulation to break up her shutout bid.
LeBlanc didn’t have a chance at the shot that got past her. Otherwise, the Robert Morris University (RMU) Colonials 2027-28 commit had another standout game in net.
