Maddie Rooney made 25 saves as Team Adidas blanked Team Sonnet 4-0 on Friday at the Professional Women's Hockey Players' Association's Dream Gap Tour OHL showcase in St. Catharines, Ont.

The game at the Meridian Centre set a PWHPA attendance record with 4,301 fans.

Kayla Vespa, Amanda Kessel, Kristin O'Neill and Kaitlin Willoughby each scored as the second-place team improved to 6-5-1 on the season.

U.S. Olympic star Kessel added the insurance marker shortly after from close range, with Sarah Potomak collecting the primary assist.

O'Neill quickly added Team Adidas' third goal of the opening period, while Willoughby finished off the scoring with an empty-netter in the final seconds of the game.
