Seaforth was winless in their first three games of the six -team round- robin, but by close scores: 2-1 to both Chatham and Gloucester, and a 1-1 tie with Ottawa. The Storm regrouped to win three straight games, 5-1 over Elora -Fergus, 5-2 over St. Marys and 3-1 over Ajax, and finish fourth and earn a berth in the playoff round on the tournament's final day. In the semi-final against St. Marys once again Sunday, March 16, Mel Nolan scored in the first half for Sea - forth to give them the lead but the eventual champions from St. Marys tied it in the first half then snapped the tie with under five minutes left in regu- lation to win, 2-1. Later, in the bronze medal game against Elora -Fergus, the Storm got off to a slow start and trailed 4-0 at the half, 5-0 early in the second before rallying for four goals - two each from Lindsay Govers and Nolan - in a six -minute span to draw within a goal, but not close enough in a 5-4 loss. Nolan finished the tournament in a tie for the scoring lead with 11 goals and 13 -points, while goalie Kristin Krainz had the lowest goals against average at 2.00. get inline seaforthhuronexpositor.com Get all of your news, sports and more.
