The Brock ringette team won a gold medal at the St. Catharines Ringette Tournament at Seymour-Hannah Arena on Nov. 17.

Brock skated undefeated through the four-game round robin and defeated Hamilton 5-4 in overtime to win the 18-plus A Division championship.

Karsen Lewis netted the OT winner and the goaltending tandem of Karlee Sutton and Alyssa Godin led the tourney with the fewest goals against.

"The tournament was a great showing of how we are continuing to grow as a team and get comfortable with our team identity before the University Challenge Cup," said alternate captain Brienne Paterson. "The final game was a great example of how we refuse to give up and will battle through adversity until the end."

The Badgers outscored their competition 28-10 through the first four games.

In early November, Brock placed second out of 11 teams at the Oshawa Ringette Tournament.

The team is now preparing for their next tournament, the University Challenge Cup, hosted by Wilfrid Laurier University in late December.

"We've got a great group of girls with a lot of potential to do really well this season," added Paterson. "We're very excited to represent Brock at this year's Challenge Cup."
