Spirit U10 Beat Wallaceburg A
July 15, 2009

 
Sarnia travelled to Wallaceburg recently hoping to keep joint top spot in U10 Lambton Kent District soccer.
Sarnia were dealt a blow with news that Center Midfielder Sydney Caron could be out for 6 weeks due to leg injury.
 
Sarnia started slow and were under some early pressure from the home side. Some fine saves from Daphine Hibma in net and good defence from Alexa Eldridge, and Madisyn Mika assured Sarnia didnt lose any goals.
With 10 min to half Sarnia began to step it up and took the lead with a nice pass from Mickayla Moses found Bianca Sapone at the back post to tap in. Sarnia added another just before half after a nice defensive pass from Alexa Eldridge to Bianca Sapone. Bianca again teamed up well with Mickayla Moses with a nice through pass for Mickayla to shoot and score. 2 - 0 half time. Daphine Hibma had the 1st half shut out.
 
2nd half Sarnia took control and played with alot more confidence. Carmen Handy moved into Center midfield and linked well with Chloe Kennedy upfront. They were rewarded when a nice through ball from Carmen found Chloe 50 50 with the goalie, Chloe managed to win the tackle and slot the ball home. Sarah McCormick then put a nice cross over to Carmen Handy who's shot just hit the side net.

Sarnia's 4th goal came with some good 1- 2 passing from Chloe and Carmen with a low hard shot from Chloe Kennedy to score her second of the game. Julie Blanchette added a fifth goal with a low hard shot and Morgan Waggs who battled hard on the wing was rewarded with a goal after a nice run  and finishing with a good shot to beat the goalie. Skylr Melton, worked well down the wing, found space on the left and put in a nice pass to Mickayla Moses to shoot hard into the net. Credit to Wallaceburg they kept fighting and were rewarded with a late goal which unfortunately slipped through Sarah McCormick's legs in net. Final score 7 - 1 Sarnia.

 
Sarnia Defeat Wallaceburg B
July 24, 2009

 
Sarnia hosted Wallaceburg B missus a few players through holidays and injury's. Sarnia were happy to call up Alicia Burnside, Grace McClure and Eden Platter who all played well in helping Sarnia to a win.
 
Spirit took the lead in the 1st half after a nice throw in from Alexa Eldridge found Sarah McCormick in space. Sarah made no mistake with the shot and rifled it into the net from outside the box. Sarnia went further ahead Bianca Sapone robbed the Wallaceburg defencer and passed to Mickayla Moses.  Mickayla who passed to Alicia Burnside who shot past the goalie to go 2 - 0 up. Eden Platter was unlucky after a nice run and shot was stopped on the goal line. Wallaceburg pressed and pulled 1 back before half.
 
Sarnia kept the momentum in the second half when Eden Platter sent in a nice cross for Grace McClure to shot and score. Sarnia now in control added a 4th goal when Skylr Melton won a goal mouth scramble and fed the ball to Carmen Handy to score. Sarnia put the game out of reach when Mickalya Moses hit a lovely shot into the top corner for the fifth.

Sarnia had some more chances with a nice cross from Grace McClure found Skylr Melton who's unlucky shot was saves by Wallaceburg. A nice give and go between Grace and Eden Platter was also unlucky after the shot went wide.  Against the run of play Wallaceburg found themselves on a breakaway but were denied with a great save from Daphine Hibma in net. Final score 5 - 1 Sarnia.
