Jensen Murphy made 30 saves to backstop the Brock women's hockey team to a 3-0 win over the defending national champion Guelph Gryphons on the road Saturday.

"Textbook goaltending by Jensen," said head coach Margot Page. "She was completely dialed in tonight and we had another total team effort."

The Gryphons poured on the pressure in the third period and outshot the Badgers 12-7.

"Guelph is a powerhouse offensively. I think we as a team felt the push from them late in the third period," said Murphy. "They definitely started crashing the net more, but everyone did a great job moving bodies and picking up sticks which made my job a lot easier."

This was the second game in three days for the Badgers, while the Gryphons, who are ranked seventh in the country, were coming off six days of rest.

Brock defeated Waterloo 3-2 at home on Nov. 21.

"Before we faced Guelph we reminded them of how well they played on Thursday and why they were successful," said Page. "There was a lot of positive energy coming out of the Waterloo game and we asked them to carry that into tonight."

Niamh Haughey opened the scoring at 14:23 of the first period.

In the second, Mishayla Christensen and Annie Berg scored 20 seconds apart in the final minute of the second.

Emma Irwin completed the night with two assists and Kaitlyn Colonna registered an assist.

Guelph outshot Brock 30-25, and couldn't break through the Badgers' penalty kill on four power plays.

Up next, the Badgers (5-6) return home to host their final home game of the first half. Brock welcomes Western on Thursday, Nov. 28 at 7:15 p.m. Tickets are available here.
