The Oakville Beaver, W ednesday N o ve m b e r 12, 2003 - D 3 Top ranked Raiders have chosen triple-A in strategic move By Jon Kuiperij OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF Ice set to host Team China Friday night The O akville Ice clim bed above the .500 mark for the first time this season with an undefeated weekend in La Belle Province. Now, however, they will turn their attention away from their clim b up the National W omen's Hockey League (N W H L) standings for this Friday's m uch-anticipated international hockey exhibition. The Ice are hosting Team China at Ice Sports Arena, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Last weekend, the Ice defeated the Quebec Avalanche 5-1 on Saturday night and settled for a 3-3 overtime tic with M ontreal Axion on Sunday afternoon. In the Saturday night game, the hosts opened the scoring on a pow er play two minutes into the gam e before Oakville exploded for five unan swered goals, leading 2 - 1 and 4-1. respectively at the breaks. O akville were led by two three-point gam es from Raffi W olf ( lg , 2a) and Kira M isikowetz (3a). A lso scoring were their 'un retired' former captain Nathalie Rivard. Michelle Lorion, Paula Mailloux and Carly Haggard. Also picking up an assist was Tasha Noble. Allison Houston got the win. turning aside 29 o f the 30 shots. In Montreal on Sunday afternoon, the Ice had to settle for a 3-3 tie after blowing leads o f 2-0 and 3-2. In fact. Montreal tied it up on a pow er play with less than 30 seconds remaining in the game. There was no scoring in overtime. Oakville led 2-0 and 3-2 at the breaks. Tania Penelli tossed aside 50 o f the 53 shots that came her way. Oakville peppered Montreal with 41 shots, scoring on three o f them. Not a bad result for the Ice who were missing their formidable American trio who were off help ing the U.S. to a shootout cham pionship victory over Canada in the Four Nations Cup -- Kim Insalaco, Kristin King and Genevieve Richardson. The trio are due back this weekend. Also, the Ice were missing captain Cathy M cCormick and Kate Foley through injury.
