MONTREAL, QUE.: <\/strong>A Waverley hockey player and her women\u2019s RSEQ hockey team have done something that had been tough to do this season\u2014beat the tough and three-time RSEQ champion Concordia Stingers. Twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bishops Gaiters rallied back from a 1-0 series deficit to win two straight to win their best-of-three series with the Stingers and capture the RSEQ Women\u2019s Hockey championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the final game of the series, the Gaiters had nine different players get points in the 6-3 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That win now punches their ticket to the U Sport women\u2019s hockey championship, which begins March 20 in Waterloo, Ont.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes the accomplishment much more amazing is that the Gaiters hockey program only began in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before this past weekend, Bishop’s had only beaten the Stingers once in four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nel Vigneau Sargeant, a Lockview High alum and Waverley native, had a goal in the championship clinching victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal made it 3-1 in the second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annika Lafreniere and Justine Turcotte each scored twice to lead the Gaiters offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabbie Rousseau had the other tally in the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ericka Gagnon turned aside 28 of 31 pucks between the pipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Game two of the series, the Gaiters won 4-1 on Saturday night setting up the winner take all game on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against Concordia on Saturday, Noemie Fontaine, Maude Pepin, Jordanne Laforme, and Gabby Santerre had the Gaiter goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ericka Gagnon stopped 32 of 33 shots in the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opening game saw Concordia win 5-4 to put themselves a win away from the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that was the only win the top-rated Stingers would get against the hard-working Gaiters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
