Red Deer, November 24, 2023 - The Olds College Broncos put a stop to the Red Deer Polytechnic Queens' eight-game winning streak with a 2-1 win on the road.

With just over five minutes left to play in the opening 20 minutes, forward Jailyn Bablitz (Bachelor of Education) tied the game up as she was able to trickle one past the Broncos goaltender after not getting everything on the shot. With the lone goal for the Queens, Bablitz was named the player of the game

After the opening 20 minutes, the Broncos outshot the Queens 11-8.

The second frame would go scoreless with RDP outshooting the Broncos 24-20 following the end of the period.

The Broncos would regain their one-goal lead with defence Abbey Kramer (Agricultural Management) scoring her first of the season. With the game-winning goal, she was named the player of the game.

On a late powerplay, the Queens were given a prime opportunity but were robbed by goaltender Cienna Kinghorn (Equine Care and Management) on their final goal-scoring opportunity in the Polytechnic's first loss since the middle of October. 

The Queens will be back in action on January 12, 2024, when they host the Lakeland College Rustlers in Red Deer as for the Broncos, their first game back will be on January 20 when they host the Rustlers.
