THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2001. Bulletts lead playdown series 3 games to 1 The Brussels Bulletts travelled to Elma Logan for an early morning match and the best of three series in provincial playdowns. These rivals battled back and forth through the first period with each team having scoring chances but no one capitalizing as the period remained scoreless. The Bulletts hit the net late in the second to take the lead. Michelle Cook made a solo rush down the ice and with two defenders on her, man- aged to get a shot off and into the net that seemed to catch the Elma Logan goaltender off guard. Elma Logan came out flying in the third finding the mark early to tie it at I-I. Mandi DeBlock eluded her Bullett checker and walked out from behind the net and lifted a high back- hander over the shoulder of Nikki Berfeltz in the Brussels cage. This appeared to spark the Elma Logan team as they mounted pressure in the Bullett zone. Brussels came storming back find- ing the net and gaining the lead with only 1:41 left in the game. Kerri Meier walked in off the point and released a wrist shot that Ashley Ritchie redirected past the Elma Logan goalie. The Elma Logan team pulled the goalie in an effort to tie but the Bulletts fended them off and went home with a 2-1 victory and a lead in the series. The Bulletts played again later that day in Brussels against Parkhill in league playoffs. In a duplication of the game earlier the two teams bat- tled to a scoreless first period. Jenn Hopf got the ball rolling slap- ping one by the Parkhill netminder in the second setup by Ritchie and Cook. The Bulletts upped the lead to two on pretty passing. Kristen Palmer passed the puck to Brittany Campbell who found Nicole White open in front of the Parkhill goal. White shot a nice wristshot past the Parkhill goalie. Parkhill narrowed the margin to one registering a goal off their own with 3:41 left in the second period. Brussels would counter that however with Cook scoring on a nice play setup by Ritchie and Rachel Elliott just before the buzzer. Cook scored her second of the game in the third period assisted by Ritchie and Campbell. The final tally came on a nice pass by Meier to Palmer in front of the Parkhill net who blasted it by to give the Bulletts the 5-1 victory. Danielle Good gained the other assist. Berfeltz had a strong game in the Brussels cage. Coach McDonald complimented his players on a great show of energy and all round great play after a week of no action. The Bulletts hosted Elma Logan for the second game of the provincial playdowns Sunday, Feb. 18. Brussels struck early with Cook rapping the puck into the Elma Logan cage or the powerplay at 7:53 of the openini period. The teams produced mans scoring chances but it remainec Brussels up by one at the end of the period. Elma Logan came back on a pow- erplay of their own with seconds tc go in the second, then seemed to gel added energy after that as they brought the play to Brussels. The Bulletts mounted a power surge of their own in the last two minutes of the game but were turned away by the Elma Logan team. The game ended in a 1-1 tie. The Bulletts now are set to travel to Elma Logan Thursday, Feb. 22 leading the four-point series three to one.
