WATERLOO REGION (February 27, 2017) – On Thursday afternoon in Waterloo, Resurrection captured their second straight D8 girls hockey title in game two of a three game series over St. David’s.

Game two was stalemated throughout the first two periods with no scoring until Brooke Hepditch from Resurrection scored on a goal assisted by Maddie MacMillan early into the third period. Just 14 seconds later Megan Fergusson increased the lead to two.

Lex Schneider would put the game out of reach by scoring late in the third, giving Resurrection their second straight District 8 title.
