Close losses eliminate AA Lighting from tournamentThe Saugeen Maitland Midget AALightning spent the past weekend in Whitby competing in the annualTournament of Heroes. It was a shorter visit to Whitby than the teamwould have liked, with the flu andinjuries taking their toll over thecourse of the weekend.
The Lightning opened the
tournament with a scoreless draw
against the West Northumberland
Wild. Morgan Baker turned aside all
Wild shots to garner the shutout in
net. The Bolts’ second game pitted
them against the Whitby Wolves, a
team ranked in the top three Midget-
aged girls team in the country.
Goaltender Shea Tiley was sharp in
net stopping all but one of the
Wolves’ shots. The Lightning kept
pace with the host team and eventual
tournament champions, but could
not find the back of the net. The final
score was 1-0 for Whitby.On Saturday morning theLightning faced the PeterboroughIce-Cats in a must-win situation. The
girls rose to the occasion and
downed the Ice-Cats 5-1. Kelly
Gribbons paced the attack with a
hattrick while Ashlee Lawrence and
Tori Terpstra each scored singles.
Assists were awarded to Miranda
Lantz (2), Jordyn Sholdice, Harley
Westman, Sarah Biesenthal and Lexi
Smith. Saturday afternoon the Bolts
faced off against their namesake, the
Durham-West Lightning with the
winner going on to the playoff round
and the loser heading home.
The Saugeen Maitland version of
the Lightning opened the scoring
and controlled much of the play overthe course of the game, but could nothold off the determined Durham-West team. Terpstra opened the
scoring on a break-away after a nice
pass up the centre from Smith. The
Bolts’ second goal was a workman
effort from forwards Cassidy
Colhoun, Courtney Surridge and
Lexi Smith. After the line controlled
the puck in the Durham-West zone
for much of the shift, Colhoun
stuffed in a rebound from in front of
the net. Durham West came back
from being down on two occasions
and scored the winner in the third
period to take the game 3-2.
