The visiting club had a strong start to the game, controlling most of the play in the first half. The Fury's best chance came when Pete Phouttharath got the ball in close, but slid it just wide of the left post and the first half ended scoreless. In the second half, momentum shifted to St. Thomas, but the Exeter defenders limited the chances to score. St. Thomas came close when they delivered a well struck corner kick to the penalty spot where it was headed towards the Fury goal. But defender Craig Hern made a game saving stop and the Fury were able to clear the ball off the goal line. It was off to sudden death over- time as the end of regulation saw a 0-0 draw. In the first half of overtime, St. Thomas carried the play against a tiring Fury squad. Midway through the 15 minute frame, a St. Thomas player drifted the ball towards the Exeter net, but keeper Nate Holmes got his fin- gertips on it to deflect it over the bar. In the second half, Exeter came to life. Fragiskos Fragiskatos made a throw-in to an open Ryan Carroll who returned the ball to Fragiskatos in the corner. He crossed it to the far post where it was headed by Tom Phouttharath. The St. Thomas keeper made an excellent save, but the rebound went to an open Pete McAllister who buried the ball into the open net for the winner. "It was a huge win for us," said team spokesman Shawn McFalls, who suffered a knee injury in the overtime. "We played as a team and main- tained a positive attitude. good things happen when we do this." The Fury next see regular season action July 10 at home versus Delhi. SPORTS TIPS?

"It is an absolutely amazing week for my skaters. It reaches far beyond the on ice com- ponents of skating," said McLlwain.

McLlwain said her and the other skaters listened to instructor Doug Leigh everyday in lectures and on the ice. "He is a man of vision, enthusiasm and drive. "It's easy to get wrapped up in a sport if that is all you do. "Family support is and has been an important vaLue to me. and I need that support from my skaters par- ents also. "I work hard at build- ing their son or daugh- ters self esteem and confidence by encour- aging physical activity and focusing on every- day accomplishments and efforts. And at the end of the day, enjoy- ing the feeling and accomplishments and success and learning from defeat. "There are many opportunities out there and if I can be a part of creating one for my skaters that makes me happy. "I have sent two of my skaters away to a skating show, Disney on Ice and Holiday on Ice through her con- nections of her show days in Ice Capades. She is also sending Exeter singles and syn- chronized skater Brenna Anstett to Finland where McLlwain coached a National and World Team in 1996. Anstett is staying with one of the families McLlwain coached there. "I am very excited for her," she says. "Our skater's summer schedule starts this week to prepare for the upcoming season and power skating for hockey is a year-round training. I love to see every skater strive for their own excellence and goals. The possibil- ities are endless, if you want it bad enough," said McLlwain.
