Kurio (Union)

Former Union women's hockey forward Rhianna Kurio scored her first professional goal Sunday, but it wasn't enough as the Calgary Inferno took a 5-2 loss against the Montreal Stars in Canadian Women's Hockey League action.

Kurio's tally put the Inferno on the board at 2:43 of the third period, but the Stars pulled away with a pair of goals later in the frame. She was named the game's third star. The goal is her lone point in 11 games.

A 12th round pick of the Inferno in the 2013 CWHL draft, Kurio played for the Dutchwomen from 2009-2013, accumulating 27 points (13 goals, 14 assists) in 136 career games. The 22-year-old is tied with Dania Simmonds for the most games played in program history.
