“It was a huge win,” said Edwards, a graduate of St. Lawrence College Vikings in Kingston.

“Every game is important. If we want to win the league championship we have to get points from every game we play.”

Breanna Burton scored the winning goal in the 33rd minute of play. It was her league leading 10th goal of the season.

“It was a great win for us against a tough Cap-U side,” said Burton, a former standout with the Queen’s University Gaels.
