The Akwesasne Wild are a perfect 6-0 in National Capital Women's Hockey following a 4-0 win last weekend on Kawehno:ke. Their latest victim – the Russell Senior B club – put up a good fight throughout the first period, which ended 0-0. In that opener both sides had excellent chances as Akwesasne had four point blank chances to get on the board. Even when the Wild were shorthanded they kept the Russell team in their own end. Then, an early second period goal by Alicia Thomas started the sco...
