NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- Carlen Bertrand scored her second goal of the game midway through the third period to give the MCLA women's hockey team a 3-2 win over Hilbert in the Trailblazers' season opener on Friday.
 
Bertrand scored the first home goal in the history of the MCLA program to start the contest, and the teams traded goals from there.
 
Hilbert tied the contest, 1=1, by the first intermission. But Becky Ade scored unassisted for MCLA in the first minute of the second period.
 
It stayed 2-1, Trailblazers, until the visitors scored in the first minute of the third period.
 
Bertrand got the game-winner 10 minutes later with assists from Abby Pomajba and Summer Bissaillion.
 
Juliette Barney made 25 saves to earn the win in goal for MCLA (1-2), which hosts Hilbert again on Saturday at 5 p.m. at
the Peter W. Foote Vietnam Veterans Memorial Rink.
