WINNIPEG — The UBC Thunderbirds completed a weekend sweep of the Manitoba Bisons on Saturday afternoon, getting a 5-0 victory that included three power play goals. Over two games, UBC cashed in seven times with the man advantage. 

Five different players scored for UBC, including Mackenzie Kordic, who has a CanWest-leading 12 points on the year. Makenzie McCallum added a goal and an assist, and sits second in the conference, with eight points. 

Meagan Relf stopped 22 shots in the loss, while Elise Hugens stopped 20 shots for the shutout. 

A scoreless game was broken open in the second by UBC, who scored four times, including back-to-back power play markers that included a five-on-three. 

Jacquelyn Fleming opened the scoring at 4:53 on a rebound off a shot from McCallum, and less than a minute later Rylind MacKinnon made it 2-0 on another goal off a rebound.

Kordic added another on a loose puck with 6:04 to go, and McCallum rounded out a busy second period with a five-hole finish, also on the power play. 

Manitoba showed tons of heart despite the score. Forward Kylie Lesuk blocked four shots through 40 minutes, while Relf made a number of impressive saves, including back-to-back pad stops from in close. 

Jaylyn Morris rounded out the scoring for UBC in the third, going forehand-backhand for an impressive finish. Manitoba's best chance in the final 20 came on a wrist shot from forward Molly Kunnas from in close, but Hugens made a blocker stop, and Kunnas' follow up shot went off the post. 

The Bisons fell to 0-4, but are back at home next weekend, taking on 1-5 MacEwan in a key battle for positioning in the standings. 

"I'm happy to be a team that's going to learn from some of these weekends and build up to a point where we get into the second half, getting into the post-season and now we're at our best," said assistant coach Jordy Zacharias.

"[It's important to] build off of weekends like this, and take lessons from adversity and pool it all together. I didn't think we necessarily played poorly, just some errors here and there that cost us."
