The Meadow Ridge Moose earned three of a possible four points on Vancouver Island over the weekend.

The Moose played a two-game set against the Victoria Phantoms.  Madeline Cockrill and Sara Boehringer scored for the Moose in a 2-2 tie with the Phantoms Saturday night at the Q Centre.

Meadow Ridge outshot Victoria 58-13 in Sunday morning’s rematch in Esquimalt, but needed a goal from Cockrill in the second period for a 1-0 victory.

Brianna Tham earned her fourth shutout in the Moose goal.

The weekend results put the reigning champions of the South Coast Female Amateur Hockey League just one point back of the league leading Kamloops Vibe.

Their record now stands at 10-3-5.

Dayna Briggs is in the hunt for the league scoring title, with 26 points in 17 games, on 14 goals and 12 assists. She is second in league scoring, just one point out of first.

The Moose will host the B.C. Thunder on Sunday at the Langley Sportsplex, and will play at the Pitt Meadows Arena on Jan. 17, at 8:30 p.m. against the Richmond Devils.
