Combined with a little Black Friday Christmas shopping, the Lightning managed to play some great hockey and came away withthe silver medal. The Bolts’ first game was against the Pittsburgh Penguins Elite with the Lightning coming away with a 2- 0 shutout over the hometown Penguins. Tori Terpstra opened the scoringwith assists awarded to Neve VanPelt and Lexi Smith. Cassidy Colhoun then scored with helpers from Sarah Biesenthal and Mel Nolan. Morgan Baker stopped all Pittsburgh attempts on net for the shutout. The Lightning took on theMilwaukee Junior Admirals in their second game of the round robin with Rebecca Ropp earning the 1-0 shutout. The Bolts badly outshot the Admirals, but Ashlee Lawrence managed the only goal on a tipped shot from the stick of defenceman Jamie Simpson. Kelsey Dixon added the second assist. The Lightning found their scoring touch in their third game, downing the New Jersey Colonials by a score of 7-0. Simpson, Colhoun and Terpstra each had two goals, while Nolan added a single. Assists were earned by Nikki Zabel (3), Nolan (3), Lawrence (4), Avery Reeves and Dawn Pletsch. Baker earned her second shutout of the tournament. The three wins put the Lightning in first place after the round robin and earned them a spot in the semi- finals. The Bolts faced the Milwaukee Junior Admirals for the second time in the tournament, again only managing a single goal on the hot Admiral goaltender. However, Lightning goaltender Ropp was equally good, shutting out the Admirals for the second time. Lawrence scored the only goal of the game, scoring one on a break-away on a feed from Simpson. The tournament final pitted theBolts against the Mississauga Chiefs, also undefeated to this point in the weekend. The Lightning badly outshot the Chiefs, but ran into another hot goaltender and could not put one into the Chief’s net. The defence core of Kailyn Soers, Ciara Lark, Jordyn Sholdice, Maddie Duncan, Simpson and Zabel were solid all weekend, instrumental in keeping the puck out of the Lightning net and defensive zone. The game remained scoreless through regulation and five minutes of four-on-four overtime. The only goal of the game was scored by the Chiefs in the shootout, giving them the tournament championship. Next weekend the Lightning play a double-header at home against Windsor on Saturday and play in London on Sunday.
