MONTREAL - Forward Ann-Sophie Bettez of Sept-Iles, Que., continued her torrid scoring pace with two goals and defenceman Cathy Chartrand of Lac Nominingue, Que., added three assists as the No.1-ranked 鲍鱼直播 won for the 78th consecutive outing, blanking Concordia 3-0 in women's hockey at the Ed Meagher arena, on Valentine's Day, Sunday.

听

It marked 鲍鱼直播's 32nd straight win over the Stingers, who haven't scored against the Martlets in more than six regular season games, dating back to a 16-1 鲍鱼直播 win on Nov. 15, 2007.

Bettez, a 22-year-old management junior who has nine goals and one assist inher last four games, scored what proved to be the winning tally on the power-play at 12:29 of the opening period and made it 2-0 less than three minutes later.

"She's on fire and has really turned it up a notch over the last two weeks," said Amey Doyle, who is serving as head coach of the Martlets while Peter Smith is coaching with the Canadian Olympic women's hockey team in Vancouver. "Her speed was hampered by an ankle injury early in the season but she is 100 per cent healthy now and playing with lots of confidence.听 'Ann-So' is so fast and skilled that she is a constant scoring threat whenever she has the puck."

After a scoreless second period, Jordanna Peroff of Keswick, Ont., converted a pass from Chartrand to put the game out of reach at 19:13 of the final stanza.

Chartrand, a third-year veteran who previously patrolled the blueline with the Canadian national team, continues to lead all CIS rearguards in scoring with an 8-17-25 record in 18 games.
