Lady Sting Midget A Take Two
Tuesday december 2, 2014
The Sarnia Lady Sting Midget A
team travelled to Woodstock on
Saturday, attempting to redeem
themselves after a 3-0 loss to
the Wildcats recently.
Sarnia had a good start and put
the Wildcats on their heels
early in the game. The Lady
Sting had some early chances,
but was not rewarded on the
scoreboard in the 1st
period.
The Lady Sting continued to work
hard and out chanced the
Wildcats in the 2nd
period, and was finally rewarded
with a goal with less than a
minute to go. The goal was
scored by Suzanne Lockhart ,
assisted by Aleah Boersma who
took the initial shot from the
point, after a nice face-off win
by Naomi Parsons.
In the 3rd period
Sarnia had several chances to
increase the lead, including a
breakaway by Lauren Wilson which
was turned away by the Wildcats
goalie.
Brooke Kirkland had a strong
game in net for the Sting,
turning away all shots from the
Wildcats and grabbing the
1 - 0 shut-out and securing the win.
With the win the Lady Sting
moved 2 points ahead of the
wildcats in the LLFHL standings.
On Sunday the Sarnia Lady Sting
Midget A team hosted the
Stratford Aces for the first
time this season.
During the first period of play,
both teams seemed to be a little
cautious as they were unfamiliar
with each other’s play. In the 2nd
period the Lady Sting would pick
up the pace and strike with the
game’s first goal. The goal was
scored by Lauren Wilson, on a
rebound from a shot off the
crossbar by Sydney McDonald, and
assisted by Samantha Villanueva.
The Lady Sting would strike
again before the period would
end, on a solo effort by Naomi
Parsons to take a 2-0 lead.
In the 3rd period the
Lady Sting would open up a 3-0
lead on a goal by Suzanne
Lockhart assisted by Naomi
Parsons and Samantha
Villanueva.
The Aces would make a game of
the contest by adding to quick
goals in 20 seconds to close the
gap to 3-2. The Aces would put
the pressure on the Lady Sting
attempting to tie the game, but
were denied by the Sting Goalie
Ashley Norland.
The Lady Sting would secure the
win (4-2) with an empty net goal
scored by Naomi Parsons,
assisted by Lauren Wilson and
Riley Getty.
The Lady Sting Play 3 home games next weekend,
starting with the London
Devilettes on Friday and
Kitchener Saturday night at
Clearwater Arena with both games
beginning at 7 pm. On
Sunday they are at the RBC
Centre for a 4:00 pm game
