McEwen, of Stratford, PEI, scored three goals over the weekend as the team opened their season with two wins.  She began her weekend with two goals in a 10-0 win over the Dal AC Rams in the team’s home opener before scoring the only Hurricanes goal in a 1-0 victory in Moncton on Sunday versus the Crandall Chargers.
