Villanova wins AAA girls hockey title

Chelsey Benoit and Meridith Coulter scored two goals each to lead the Villanova girls hockey team to the WECSSAA AAA title Monday afternoon at the Vollmer Recreation Complex. They struck for goals 23 seconds apart in the second to give the Wilcats a comfortable 4-1 lead.

Sandwich captain Carissa Hann cut the lead in half early in the third before Gabriella Sivell restored Villy's two goal cushion. Hann would scored her second of the game with the goalie pulled with 2:45 left in the contest but that's as close as the Sabres would get. After finishing the season third in the standings with a 6-4 record, Villanova upsets Sandwich, who were 8-1-1, 5-3 in the final. The Wildcats will host SWOSSA next Tuesday.
