the year, also their second with in a row Saturday against the Bluewater Hawks.<br \/>\nTwo days removed from a tight 2 \u2013 1 win over Brampton, the Panthers returned home to the SARC to face a Bluewater squad that had wins in three of their last four.<br \/>\nNeither side gained much ground in the first period, taking a scoreless tie into the intermission, despite a ten-shot period from the home team.<br \/>\nPlay began to open up early in the second, when a strong box-out kept the Bluewater special teams to the outside, before Maddy Miller picked up the puck just as the penalty expired and potted the first goal for Aurora.<br \/>\nNetminder Taylor Beam unexpectedly had to bail her team out shortly after while on a Panthers powerplay, after a turnover at the far blue line led to a Hawks breakaway and a nice blocker save.<br \/>\nWith Bluewater pressing late in the second, Beam kept the shutout alive with a nice sliding save on a one-timer in the final minute.<br \/>\nThe pressure continued into the third, though it was Aurora who doubled the lead, when Emma Wilson tipped home a nice cross-crease feed from Miller with just under two minutes left in regulation.<br \/>\nThe Hawks pulled their goaltender on the next whistle, though Beam stood tall at the other end to preserve her fifth win and sixth shutout of the season.<br \/>\nJayden Thompson added a late empty-netter.<br \/>\nJust over the halfway point of the Provincial Women\u2019s Hockey League season, the Panthers earn a holiday break before returning to the ice on January 6 to face the Nepean Wildcats on the road.<br \/>\nThey return home to the SARC on January 14 to host Nepean.<br \/>\nFor stats and schedules, visit www.pwhl.pointstreaksites.com.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button
