LANGLEY, B.C. ­– Alli Borrow led the way for the University of Calgary Dinos women's hockey team as they defeated the Trinity Western University Spartans 5-2 on Friday night at the George Preston Recreation Centre.
 
The Spartans (2-11-0) were unable to gain control of the game as the Dinos (5-8-0) never surrendered the lead they earned in the first period. Borrow potted two goals while adding a helper to tie Emily Hill's three assists for a game-high of three points on the night. Gabriella Durante also stood out for the Dinos, stopping 20 of 22 shots en route to the win.
 
For Trinity Western, Olivia Leier and Ashlee Wolfe were the two goal scorers while Brooklyn Anderson assisted on Wolfe's goal. Jadeyn Kastning had a busy night, stopping 38 of 43 shots en route to her second loss of the 2021-22 season. Kastning's record now moves to 1-2-0 after Friday's tilt.
 
The first period of action saw the Dinos move to an early 2-0 lead. Elizabeth Lang opened the game's scoring at the midway point of the period. Soon after, Holly Reuther joined Lang on the scoresheet, tipping a shot off a well-worked rush by Jordyn Burgar. The period wrapped up at a 2-0 score favouring the Dinos.
 
The second period of play was completely different when stacked up beside the first. Filled with blistering pace and physicality, it was Leier who brought the Spartans within one, snatching up the puck in the high slot after Kellner's rush down the left wing. Leier roofed the puck past Durante as the George Preston erupted in response.
 
The third period started with Calgary reclaiming their two-goal lead as Annaliese Meier streaked down the right wing, rifling one past Kastning in style. Only two minutes later, Wolfe squeaked the puck past Durante to bring Friday's tilt to 3-2 favouring the visiting Dinos. With another momentum-building goal to their name, the Spartans ran flat while the Dinos started firing. Borrow went on to score two more unanswered goals, bringing the match to a 5-2 close in favour of the Dinos.

The Spartans are set to rematch the Dinos on Saturday (7:15 p.m.) at the George Preston Recreation Centre.
