(FREDERICTON, NB) The UNB REDS scored goals in the 13th and 17th minutes on route to a 2-0 exhibition victory over l'Universite de Moncton Aigles Bleues.

Aurora Hughes-Goyette (Garibaldi Highlands, BC) and Sophia Maillet (Fredericton, NB) scored roughly four minutes apart in the first half as the REDS built an early lead and never looked back.

Hughes-Goyette took a Carolina Grzesniak (Oshawa, ON) pass and fired a shot from just inside the 18-yard box to open the scoring.

Grzesniak fed Maillet in a similar fashion for UNB's second goal.

Lauren Kelly (Fredericton, NB) earned the clean sheet in the REDS net.

The REDS open their Atlantic University Sport regular season schedule on Saturday, September 2nd, at Cape Breton. Game time is 1:00pm.

Moncton begins their regular season campaign Saturday at STFX. That kickoff is also scheduled for 1:00pm.
