Richmond's Bea Francisco backstopped the UBC Thunderbirds to their record-setting third consecutive CIS national women's field hockey title.

The T-Birds capped a dominating run with a 4-1 victory over the host UVic Vikings on Sunday. The fourth-year student was between the pipes for all four UBC matches and surrendered just three goals the entire tournament.

The Thunderbirds produced wins over Waterloo (10-0), Guelph (7-0) and Victoria (4-2) to reach the final.

This past summer, Francisco played for Canada at the Junior World Cup in Germany.
