MONTREAL - Leslie Oles, a sophomore forward from Beaconsfield, Que., scored a hat-trick and added an assist as McGill outlasted Concordia 7-5 in the Quebec university women's hockey league opener at McConnell Arena, Friday.

It was the 106th consecutive victory over conference opponents for McGill and their 38th in a row over the Stingers. Chelsea Saunders added a pair for the Martlets who had a 44-18 edge in shots.

"Oles was great tonight," said Peter Smith, who collected his 301st career victory behind the McGill bench. "She worked real hard to improve her fitness level over the summer and it paid off."

Rounding out the scoring for the Martlets was freshman Ioanna Cagianos and sophomore Katia Clement-Heydra.

McGill netminder Charline Labonté, who has been battling a flu bug all week, was credited with the victory, improving to 67-1 lifetime in regular season play. However, she allowed five goals on 13 shots before being pulled for the first time in her five years with the team.

Five different players scored for Concordia, who trailed 3-1 after one period and 5-2 after two. Catherine Rancourt paced the Stingers with a goal and one assist. Other markers were scored by Alyssa Sherrard, Erin Lally, Audrey Gariepy and Moira Frier.

Goaltender Marie-Pier Remillard-Paquette, a sophomore from Laval, Que., made 37 saves in a losing cause.

McGill (1-0) plays next on Oct. 14 when they travel across Mt. Royal to take on the Montreal Carabins (0-0). The following day, Concordia (0-1) plays at Ottawa (0-0).
