The Sarnia
Major Atom
Sting had
their
winning
streak come
to an end on
the weekend
after
winning 9
straight
games.
Sarnia would
win 3 -2 in
Cambridge on
Saturday
before
falling to
St. Thomas
by the same
3 – 2 score
on Sunday.
In Cambridge
on Saturday,
the Sting
would
outplay the
Cambridge
Hawks for
the majority
of the game
and squeak
out a 3 – 2
win. Goal
scoring in
this game
was provided
by Curtis
Marks
(assist
Brett
Allardyce)
on the power
play and
Lucas Ross
(assist
Jordan
Hurtubise,
Dakota
Moore) and
Devin
Devooght
(Justin
Houle,
Mackenzie
Caley).
On Sunday,
the Sting
the Sting
would suffer
from a bad
bounce on
the 1st
shift of the
game to fall
behind to
St. Thomas 1
– 0 early.
Sarnia would
be able to
settle down
their game
and the
tempo of the
game
gradually
swung
towards the
Sting.
Sarnia would
finally get
on the
scoresheet
as Brett
Allardyce
(assist Jake
Vince,
Matthew
Torti)
banged in a
loose puck
in front of
the St.
Thomas goal
and minutes
later
Matthew
Torti
(assist
Austin
Coutts,
Tristan
Haagsma)
would snap
in a wrist
shot to
finish off a
nice passing
play and
Sarnia would
take a 2 - 1
lead. St.
Thomas would
respond with
a power play
goal just
before the
buzzer and
the teams
would head
to the 3rd
period tied
at 2.
Sarnia
continued to
apply good
pressure in
the 3rd
period
including
some good
opportunities
on the power
play.
However, it
would be St.
Thomas who
would make
the most of
a late power
play
opportunity
and the
Sting would
run out of
time and
lose the
game 3 – 2.
