 The
Lambton Shores Predators Midget B team got a huge
win Saturday afternoon, as they defeated Markham in
a high scoring game, 9-6 at the RBC Centre.
In the
first minute Markham ripped a shot from the slot,
but Alex Van Valkenburg got just enough to send it
high over the net. Minutes later Kerrie Dirven races
down the boards and finds Shelbi Parizeau who puts
top shelf over Sarah Talsma-Iarocci's glove to give
the Predators a 1-0 lead. Parizeau would make it 2-0
with her second straight goal, as she rips a rocket
wrist shot into the top right corner of the net on
the powerplay to give the Predators the two goal
lead after the first period of play.
It
wouldn't take long for Markham to respond in the
second, as fourteen seconds into the period Talia
Faubert skates around the Predators defence and
slides it in to cut the lead to one.
But not to
be outdone, the Predators come back and score twelve
seconds after the Markham goal, as Jessi McGregor
wrists it on net where Talsma-Iarocci can't handle
and puck sneaks through to restore the two goal
lead. But against Markgam would come back as Kaitlyn
Ramsay would be at the side of the net during a
scramble and jam the puck in to bring it back to a
one goal game.
Markham
would then look for the equalizer and bad luck would
give it to them, as the Lambton Shores defender
trips while trying to play the puck and Ashley Korey
picks up the puck and finds Alexandra Provis with
her on the two on one. Provis would beat the
Predators keeper and erase the two goal lead and tie
it up a three each.
But
Lambton Shores would get an answer to the two goals
by Markham, and the answer was Kerrie Dirven, as
Dirven would redirect a pass from Amanda Shawnoo to
make it 4-3, and then twelve seconds later wrists it
top corner for her second of the game to restore the
Predators two goal lead at the end of the second.
Markham
would get a shorthanded breakaway chance in the
third period but it would be turned aside. On that
same powerplay, Lambton Shores would capitalize
again, as Lindsay Morgan would put the puck in from
beside the net to make it a 6-3 game.
With the
game getting rough, Lambton Shores would hit again
on the score board, as Chelsea MacDonald would
gather up a loose puck in front of the net and beat
Talsma-Iarocci glove side for the four goal lead.
But
Markham would start to gather back and cut into the
lead, as Provis would get her second of the game by
sending a low show to the far post to make it 7-4.
With under six minutes to play Talia Faubert would
get her second of the game as her initial shot is
blocker, but her rebound would beat Van
Valkenburg to cut the Predators lead to two.
But Emily
Mellon would spot Nicole Soetemans in front of the
net from the corner, and her low shot would restore
the three goal lead as the Predators make it 8-5.
With the game drawing to an end, Markham would
continue the press. Faubert would throw a shot on
net which eventually was jammed in by Provis for her
third of the game to make it 8-6. But Amanda Shawnoo
would ice the game as she scores an empty net goal
to go along with her three assists to give the
Predators the 9-6 victory.
Earlier
games for the Predators included a 6-1 loss to
Walkerton in their opener and a 4-4 tie against
South Point. |
