On
Sunday February
19th, Sarnia
Express Women's
Senior AA hockey
team were home
to the Bluewater
Sharks. Sarnia
came out very
strong in the
first period,
and despite
outshouting and
outskating the
Sharks, the
Express went
down 2-0. It was
looking like
nothing was
getting by the
Bluewater net
minder when
finally after
much pressure in
front of the
opposing net,
Alicia
MacDougall slid
a low shot in to
close the gap.
Brandy Warner
and Teresa
Futers both
assisted.
Shortly after
Brandi Warner
would net
herself one
tying things up
for the Express.
Cori Savo
assisted.
The momentum
finally starting
going Sarnia's
way when Alicia
MacDougall
redirected a
hard shot from
the point by
Sheila Meyskens.
Cori Savo picked
up an assist.
Bluewater would
eventually get
back in things
with a nice goal
of their own,
bringing it to
3-3. But Brandi
Warner would
take a nice pass
up the middle
from Alicia
MacDougall, and
send a bullet
into the back of
the net. The
game would
finish in
Sarnia's favor
4-3. Kate
Rawlings was in
net for Sarnia,
and kept them in
it.
This was the
last regular
season game.
Sarnia Express
ended up in 3rd
place out of an
8 team division.
Quite a
respectable
finish
considering they
played many
games with a
very short bench
due to injuries.
This was the
teams very first
season together
and they faired
very well.
Playoffs should
begin in the
next week or so.
