Chinn stops 10 shots, Grand scores twice in 5-0 win over McMaster

Sept. 27: Western 5 McMaster 0 / Sept. 26: Brock 2 Western 0

LONDON, Ont. - The Western Mustangs rebounded from a 2-0 loss to Brock a day earlier to smash the McMaster Marauders 5-0 at TD Waterhouse Stadium on Sept. 27.

Erin Grand (Toronto) scored a pair of goals for Western, including the game-winning goal, while Jenna Schroeder (Sudbury, Ont.), Steph Pizzitelli (Aurora, Ont.) and Brenna McConnell (Oshawa, Ont.) added singles.

Marissa Chinn (Stouffville, Ont.), who made 10 saves to earn the clean sheet, played a strong first half, sliding out to breakup a two-on-one started by striker Samantha Batten. Chinn slid to take the ball away from Batten and then regained her balance to be in perfect position for the rebound shot from midfielder and McMaster teammate Hayley Marler.

A day earlier, Western lost 2-0 to the Brock Badgers at the Hellenic Club. Ali Gartley (Sarnia, Ont) and Cassandre Van Bakel scored for Brock.

Western (3-3) plays at Wilfrid Laurier and Waterloo next Weekend, Oct. 3 and 4 respectively at 1 p.m.
