Disotell-Dunsmore records second consecutive shutout, Soyko scores three as Queens blank Trojans

Calgary, AB - It's hard to design a better start to an Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) hockey career than what Queens first-year goaltender Tanya Disotell-Dunsmore has demonstrated.

After earning a 3-0 shutout victory over the Olds College Broncos in her first ACAC start, the Bachelor of Science Pre-Professional - Optometry student turned aside all 19 shots in a 4-0 blanking of the SAIT Trojans. The victory improved Tanya Disotell-Dunsmore's record to a perfect 2-0 over a pair of starts, along with a league leading 0.00 goals against average and 1.000 save percentage.

It was also a big night for another Queens' rookie. Prince Albert's Alli Soyko had a hat trick, scoring once in the first period and twice in the final frame. Monica Bowtell potted Red Deer Polytechnic's second goal at 17:01 of the second period. It was her first in the ACAC.

Mary Hirsch, a Red Deer Polytechnic Bachelor of Science Nursing student, picked up a pair of assists, her third and fourth of the season. 

Neither team could score on three power plays.

The RDP Queens handily outshot the SAIT Trojans 65-19.

Five-foot-five Alli Soyko received the Queens Player of the Game award. Ali Kieran was named the Trojans top performer, making 61 saves in the SAIT net. 

The Red Deer Polytechnic Queens (2-1-0) will battle the league leading NAIT Ooks (3-0-0) in Edmonton on Friday, January 14 at 7 pm.

The Queens also have a pair of non-conference games planned against the Olds College Broncos on January 6 and 8.
