The RDC Queens started the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference season with a bang.
On the road in Medicine Hat, the Queens shutout the Rattlers 4-0 to open the year with a victory.
Second-year forward Alisha Coules did most of the damage for the Queens, notching a hat trick in the contest. The Stettler product had three goals all of last season through eight games.
Second-year Mikayla Fujimoto also added a tally in the 73rd minute and second-year keeper Alethea Riemer earned the shutout.
Sunday, the Queens struggled and fell 3-0 to the Lethbridge College Kodiaks.
