Sports Lightning wins again On Sunday, Nov. 12, penalties would prove costly in the first game of the double-header for the visiting Brantford team as the Lightning Struck twice on power plays late in the period. Bridget Shedden opened the scor­ ing unassisted and Brittany Kellington found the comer with a spin around shot assisted by Jackie Zacher and Amanda Hill. After a scoreless second period, Katie Whytock hammered in the rebound of Brittany Roberts midway through the third period to complete the scoring for the 3-0 win. In game two, the Lightning faced a much more disciplined Brantford squad that finally got one past Terri Allen after she.stopped the first three shots in the first period. End-to-end action and stingy netminders kept both teams off the scoreboard in the second period. Early in the third, Heather Walker picked up a loose puck and went in all alone to snap it into the comer and tie the game. Brantford roared back and jumped into the lead less than a minute later. Roberts knotted the score when she slid the puck under the goalie and Hill put the Lightning into the lead for the first time in the game Stars shine over Chiefs Dogging him A Blyth Tyke Bulldog shadows his Brussels opponent behind the net in this match-up at the BMG arena on Saturday morning.

Allen came up with some key saves in the dying moments to hang on for the Lightning win. Saugeen-Maitland hosted the Bluewater Bantam Girls on Nov. 19 in Howick. The Lightning rang one off the cross bar in the first shift off the game but couldn’t get one past the Bluewater netminder until late in the first when Walker from Roberts, threaded the needle and found the corner. Allen blanked Bluewater in a fast- paced second period with the oppos­ ing netminder rising to the challenge to keep her team in the game also. Close calls at both ends brought the fans to their feet in the third period and pulling the Bluewater goalie late in the game proved successful when the puck ended up in the Saugeen net to end the game tied at 1 -1. Shots on goal were 24-21 in favour of the Lightning. Saugeen-Maitland travels to Strathroy for a rematch next Sunday against Bluewater to try and keep their unbeaten streak alive.
