(Denny Scott photo) PeeWee girls take gold at WOAA tournament The Blyth-Brussels PeeWee Girls team won their WOAA playoff tournament last weekend in Port Elgin, beating Mount Forest by a score of 3-0 in the final game. The first game of the tournament was against the Saugeen Shores Storm on March 27. The girls won the game 4-0 and advanced to the championship side of the tournament. Goal scorers were Teresa Atkinson, Ashley Higgins, Delayna Smith and Mackenzie Nesbitt. Next up was a game against the Bruce Peninsula Northstars. The only prior meeting of these two teams was in the Young Canada Week tournament semi-final game with the Northstars winning in overtime. The Blyth-Brussels PeeWee Girls had revenge on their minds and came out flying and did not let up until the final buzzer. The team opened the scoring in the second minute of the game and slowly built a 5-0 lead before the Northstars got on the board late in the second period. The final score was 7-1. Scoring the goals were Ashley Higgins with the hattrick, Taylor Higgins with two goals, and singles going to Nesbitt and Tiffany Deitner. The championship game was against a familiar opponent in the Mount Forest Rams. The two teams had played each other four times this season. Mount Forest won twice in exhibition games and Blyth- Brussels had won in the Milverton Tournament C final and the Young Canada Week consolation final. The game was very even with chances to score at both ends of the ice. Lindsay Shiell played a very good game in net and would earn her second shutout of the tournament. After two scoreless periods the team wanted to end the game before overtime was necessary. Nesbitt made sure there would be no overtime required by scoring a natural hattrick. Final score was 3- 0 to win the WOAA Championship. BBLLYYTTHH PPRRIINNTTIINNGG IINNCC..
