The Union women's hockey team skated past the Ottawa Junior Senators, 6-0, in an exhibition game Saturday at Messa Rink.
With goals from Elizabeth Otten, Mac Purvis, Kathryn Tomaselli and Alex Tancrell-Fontaine, Union stormed out to a 4-0 lead in the first 13:18 of the first period and never looked back.
Rebecca Babiak and Stefanie Thomson tacked on goals in the third period. Thomson's tally came on the powerplay; the Dutchwomen finished 1-for-3 on the man advantage.
Union goaltenders Shenae Lundberg, Madeleine Dahl and Emma Pincott played 20 minutes apiece and combined to stop all 18 Senators shots. Lundberg, who is expected to see the bulk of the action this season, led the trio with nine saves.
Ottawa won the faceoff battle, 34-22. Senators forward Leah Buchanan was especially effective, winning 17-of-20 draws.
The Dutchwomen open the regular season Saturday at the University of Connecticut. Gametime is 2 pm.
