Stuck in the sixth and final AUS playoff position, Dalhousie’s women’s hockey team would not rise in the standings Feb. 4, unable to complete a third period comeback against the Mounties at Memorial Arena to lose the game 5 – 3. The Tigers have lost all three of their matchups against Mount Allison this season.

The 6-11-2 Tigers were down 4 – 0 entering the third until Rebecca Smyth put in her fourth of the season only 42 seconds into the period, putting the Tigers within three. After the Mounties struck back, Dal’s Jenna Currie and Robin Nicholson both scored to put their deficit within two goals, but that 5 – 3 scoreline was as close as Dal would get.

The rematch between the two teams takes place Feb. 11 at Mount Allison.
