Times-Advocate, 1987-11-04, Page 13Soutk Huron brings 1.1.. WOSIA field hockey chsmpionship South Huron's girls field hockey team came away from Parkhill Fri- day afternoon with the 1987 WOSSA championship after defeating St. Marys Salukis 1-0 in the final game of the three day tournament. With that win, Panthers earned the right to advance to OFSAA which will be held in Hamilton, November 5-7. Exeter's Tina Campbell was awarded as the tournament's high scorer after the final game. Campbell scored the only goal of the final and was responsible for two goals in South Huron's 4-1 win over Strathroy in the preliminary rounds. Panthers coach, Jim Workman said after Friday's battle that the final was a tough match. "It was a hard fought one," he said. "I think the' nerves were playing a part on both sides." He noted that St. Marys usually provides the biggest hurdle of the season for Panthers, and because of that, the WOSSA win is a sweet one. "They're always our main com- petitors as far as South Huron is concerned." The two teams battled back and fourth at even strength in the first half of the final game, but Exeter began to dominate in the second. That domination paid off when Tina Campbell found the mark to score the winning goal. St. Marys spent most of the second half hemmed into their own end. When they did manage to break out. South Huron's defence quickly broke up the advance. The Exeter girls found their way in - spm to the final by downing Strathroy 4-1 on the strength of Campbell's goals along with those of Kim Crawford and, Leanne Dietrich. Lisa Ellerington led the team often' sively against West Elgin in their se cond game of the tournament, scor. ing two goals. Jeanette Kaak added a single to Ellerington's markers and South l luron wor) the game 3-1 to earn a berth in the final. Workman is now looking toward OFSAA where the competition will be stiff, and though he declined the op- portunity to predict another cham- pionship, he does expect results from the team. "I'd like to think we're in i OFSSA with a good chance," he said Friday. "I'd like to stay in .the top halt anyway." The tourney format consists of four pools of teams which will play Thurs- day to decide quarter -finalists. The - first and second place teams from each pool will be matched up Friday .to decide four semi-finalists who will meet Saturday morning.

Shaw said Friday that he expected to be out of the line-up for at least 10 more days. "My shoulder was slightly separated and 1 was supposed to be out for four to six weeks, but 1 think we're down to two or three weeks so it should he about another 10 days -- so I'll be back," Fall Features fr{//� In effect Thurs., Fri., Sat. while su,plies last 17 Hamburger or Tasty Nu T, Hot Dog Rolls. 8s 79C . Bread Shaw said. Asked if he thought the injury would affect his chances of earn- ing a full time position on the ice, Shaw pointed to the team's future fortunes. "I guess it depends on how the team is playing when I get back," he said. "If they're not winning every game I should be able to get back (into the line-up), but if they're on a winning streak it might take a little longer." Rangers are currently in fourth place in the Patrick division with four wins, six losses and three ties. Sunday night they were beaten 7-6 by Edmonton Oilers. Shaw is no stranger to the sidelines. Last season he played 72 of Quebec Nordique's 80 games but missed the playoffs due to a bout with Mononucleosis. The year before that he played in 75 of 80 games but was out with broken wrist in post season play. With the exception of his shoulder, Shaw and his wife Trjsh are settling into life in New York city. "The people down town are a lit- tle different, but we're adjusting And we really like it." "It's a lot different than Quebec," Shaw adds. "We don't practice in Madison Square Gardens. We have a practice rink and it's an hour out of town." The defenceman plans to buy a condominium near the practice rink to avoid battling heavy traf- fic on a daily basis. Shaw went to New York from Quebec in a trade package with John Ogrodnick at the beginning of the season. At that time, Rangers coach Michel Bergeron called him "the most under -rated defenceman in the National Hockey League". 0 Peanut.
