Tamia Roach and Chantel Garcia both scored second-half goals to lead Notre Dame to a 2-1 win over Police to reclaim top spot in the T&T Hockey Board Trinity Women Division at the National Hockey Centre, Tacarigua, on Wednesday night.
After a 0-0 in the first 35 minutes, Roach netted the go-ahead item for the Dames in the 41st while Chantel Garcia made it 2-0 ten minutes later.
With ten minutes left on the clock, Michelle Edwards cut the lead in the half, but that was as close as the "Law Women" came as the Dames held on for the win to move to 15 points seven matches, two ahead of Shandy Carib Magnolias, which got a double from Saarah Olton to slip past Defence Force by a similar 2-1 margin on Monday.
Olton got her goals in the 34th and 48th minutes after former national captain Nicole Aming had fired Defence Force into a 25th minute lead.
With the loss, Defence Force stayed third with Harvard Maritime Checkers, both with ten points from six and five matches played, respectively.
In the Trinity Men's Division, Malvern has a perfect 18 points from six matches at the top of the table followed by Queen's Park with 15, Paragon with 14, Paradise with 13 and Notre Dame, fifth with 12 points from seven matches.
Last night, the men's Trinity Division continued with Fatima facing Petrotrin while today, two matches are on schedule in the Mixed Veterans Division from 7 pm.
In the opener, table leader Carib, with 12 points from five matches, faces Defence Force, one of three clubs on six points while Paragon and Petrotrin, both without a point, meet from 8.45 pm.
