The Reds captured their third straight Atlantic University Sport title last night at the Aitken Centre, defeating the Acadia Axemen 5-1. The Reds had already earned a spot in next week's University Cup national championship in Halifax, but last night's win likely means they'll be seeded in the No. 1 spot.
— Jamie Tozer (@station_nation) March 7, 2020Former Sea Dogs forwards Samuel Dove-McFalls, Oliver Cooper and Stephen Anderson and defenseman Matt Murphy all dressed in last night's deciding game. Defensemen Olivier LeBlanc and Benjamin Gagne were all out of the lineup.
Anderson, playing in his fifth and final season with the Reds, finished the AUS playoffs with two goals and seven assists, placing him in a tie with Alexandre Goulet for the team scoring lead.
The Reds will be looking to win their second straight University Cup next week and eighth since 2007. They'll be joined at this year's eight-team tournament by the host Axemen, Saint Mary's Huskies, Guelph Gryphons, Ottawa GeeGees, Saskatchewan Huskies, UBC Thunderbirds and either the Western Mustangs or Concordia Stingers.
The University Cup begins Thursday at Scotiabank Centre.
