St. Clair Midget's fall to West Seneca
andrew brethauer February 5th, 2011


The St. Clair Storm (Mooretown) Midget B team were looking for another big game coming off their 16-0 victory later Friday night, but the Storm were defeated by West Seneca 5-1 Saturday afternoon at the RBC Centre.

 

Early on West Seneca had the pressure in the St. Clair zone as Kara Orlowski sent a shot through the crease off a scramble in front of the net. The two teams then played out the remainder of the first period evenly matched as it ended scoreless.

 

In the second period it only took twelve seconds to change the scoreless part of the game, as Erin Gehen put a shot on net that beat Sarah MacLaughlin and put West Seneca up 1-0. In only took a couple of minutes for that lead to be 2-0 as Kaeli Mathias rips a wrist shot on net that bounces out of MacLaughlin's glove and rolls into the back of the net.

St. Clair would begin to get so momentum of their own, almost scoring on a breakaway chance, as well as having a 5 on 3 powerplay for almost the full two minutes. But West Seneca was able to kill the penalties off without allowing a goal. West Seneca would take it back the other way and Gehen would get a shot on net and collect her own rebound, putting it five hole on MacLaughlin for her second of the game to give West Seneca a 3-0 lead.

But just over a minute later St. Clair would respond on the powerplay, as Alicia Bergman lets a wrist shot go from the point that hits a West Seneca player and bounces into the net to cut the lead to two. Kaylan Moran would try to cut the lead to one, but the young forward was stopped multiple times despite having many scoring chances as she couldn't find the back of the net.

 

In the third West Seneca we begin to ice the game as midway through the period. Claire Moran would have a breakaway for St. Clair, but her slap shot would not get passed Kaitlyn Simmons. Off the shot the West Seneca would bring the puck back down the ice and Chelsea Ortolano would slip it past MacLaughlin to make it 4-1.

 

Gehen would finish off the game with her hat-trick as she scores on an empty net and West Seneca wins 5-1.

 

In their two previous games, St. Clair was defeated 8-0 by Ilderton Friday morning, and on Friday night they won 16-0 against Mississauga. Unfortunately they will not move on in the tournament.
