She had four goals at the half when Queen's went to the locker room with a 4-0 lead.

McConville, who played for the Ottawa Fury this summer, was named the CIS rookie of the year and a first team all-Canadian in 2003 after finishing second in the country with 15 regular-season goals. She added seven goals in only eight outings in 2004 to secure a place on the second all-CIS team. The Golden Gaels have advanced to the CIS championship in each of her first two seasons, finishing fifth in 2003 before capturing the bronze medal last fall.
