THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 2001. Sports ( Novices have busy week Tough playing It was a rough and tumble game when the Elma Logan rivals came into Brussels last Wednesday night to take on the Brussels/Belgrave Bantam girls. The penalty-riddled contest resulted in a tie. Girls teams get physical It was a physical contest from the onset when Brussels/Belgrave Bantam Women and rival Elma Logan met in regular season play Wednesday, Jan. 3 in Brussels. The two teams battled back and forth for possession of the puck with some very fast- paced end-to-end action. Elma Logan was the first to do damage in the opening frame. Defensive player Katelyn O'Rourke skated into the slot unprotected and fired a high wrist shot that beat Berfeltz in the Brussels/Belgrave net to give the visitors the early lead. Starting the New Year off, the Lightning sauntered on down to Rochester Jan. 6 for two games and picked up a game with Buffalo on the way back home the next day. Brittany Kellington opened the scoring from Krista Cameron after intense forechecking while short- handed early in the first peri- od in game one. Although Saugeen controlled the rest of the first and most of the next period, a bouncing puck and mix-up in front of the net allowed Rochester to tie the game. Less than a minute later, Bridget Sheddon spotted Heather Walker, who put the girls ahead again with a wrist shot into the low corner. A scoreless third gave the Lightning a 2-1 win. Saugeen came out flying and peppered the Rochester netminder in game two later in the day, but finally got one The teams continued their rugged play which resulted in many undisciplined penalties for both sides. T his finally cost the Elma Logan team in the second period when Brussels/Bel- grave tied things up. With Elma Logan's Mandi DeBlock in the box for trip- ping, Ashley Ritchie fired in a Kerrie Meier pass behind McLagan in the Elma Logan cage. The teams retired for a break between periods with a 1-1 tie. Brussels/Belgrave came out on fire for the- third period outshooting their opponent by by on the powerplay when Amanda Hill, from Cameron, found the top corner with a slapshot from the high circle to end the first period. In a span of two minutes midway in the second, Saugeen erupted with a three- goal flurry. Scoring were: Jocelyn Carter, Jackie -Zacher and Crystal Ferguson with assists to: Kellington, Brittany Roberts and Sheddon respectively. Hill rounded out the scoring unassisted in the last period for the 5-0 sweep. Terri Allen had an easy day in this 32-3 shoot-out but was there when needed. Even in the pre-game warm up, it was obvious who came to play the next day against Buffalo and Saugeen quickly found themselves backed onto their heels for the entire first period. Only the solid play of Allen kept the period score- a large margin. The home team earned themselves another power play chance and some powerful shots almost resulted in the go- ahead marker. Nicki Berfeltz made some spectacular saves giving her teammates a chance to win this contest. Coach McDonald had high regards for his players admir- ing their hard work and tena- cious checking. He admitted he didn't know what to expect with the lapse over the holidays and his girls having had several games and practices cancelled due to inclement weather. less as Saugeen managed two shots on Rochester. A goalie can only do so much, however, as Rochester scored early back-to-back goals to open the second peri- od. The Lightning showed some signs of life when Walker and Roberts clicked less than a minute later but Buffalo had the final say going up 3-1 with 15 seconds left in the period. Down 4-1 late in the third period, after receiving a pass from Katie Whytock, sheer determination by Walker brought the game within reach as she added to Saugeen's total, bulldozing her way to the net. Buffalo held off the Lightning charge, which had the extra attacker on for the final two minutes. Saugeen will be looking for revenge as they host Buffalo in Howick for a double head- er on Jan. 14. It was an early morning start for the Brussels Novices when they travelled to Bayfield, Jan 4, for a tournament. The squad took on the hosts in an 8 a.m. match-up and in spite of being shut-out, it was a very close game with good work by all the players. Ryan Smith was kept busy in net, stopping many great shots to keep the score to just 3-0. A late rush by Brendan Stretton and Randy Zwep - almost put Brussels on the board but they were thwarted. Cody Subject was named team MVP for the game.- The second contest was the most exciting of the three tour- nament games, going to dou- ble overtime to determine the winner. Belmore scored first. Brussels came close to evening the tally shortly after- wards when Stretton took the puck in from the blueline and passed to Chris Becker out front whose shot was deflected wide. Good defence was shown by Herbie Runstedler and Subject. A clearing shot from Brianne Wheeler ended up on Stretton's -stick who took it in for the tying goal. Taylor Prior opened the sec- ond period with a shot out of the corner which deflected off the Belmore goalie for a setter, but Belmore drew even sec- onds later when a scramble in front of Smith resulted in a goal. Smith was hot, stopping shot after shot to aid his offence. Stretton, Zwep and Subject each had opportunities to pull the team ahead, but a strong Belmore squad prevented easy shots. Brian Burgess worked hard along the boards while killing a penalty and Joel Wilkinson controlled the puck in his own end to turn around the play. Defensive play by Thomas Johnston stopped a rush early in the third before teammate Prior put Brussels ahead again. However, Belmore retaliated quickly to even the score at three. In spite Sr an intensive attack by Brussels, the stale- mate could not be broken. Prior narrowly missed winning the match in the five-minute overtime when his shot went off the post. A one-minute overtime with no goalies was played with Belmore netting the puck just 18 seconds in. Strong efforts were also shown by Andrew Watson and Cole McLean as they worked the puck to the opponent's end. Blake Cardiff and Trista Deitner dug the puck out along the boards to keep the game moving. Wheeler was named MVP. With the two losses, Brussels moved to the C final. The opposing Goderich squad took the lead in the first and strong defence kept Brussels off the board. The final tally was 4-0. Smith was named MVP. The squad journeyed north to Ayton Saturday to partici- pate in another tournament. Meeting Elora for an 11 a.m. game, Brussels was kept off the board through the first two periods while Elora racked up three. Robert Cronin, Gavin Bowers and Wheeler were -strong on defensive plays while Subject continued his patented play of throwing his body in front of the puck. Wilkinson's speed served the team well as he was able to poke check the puck away from a rushing opponent. Brussels finally netted the puck at 8:38 of the third when Prior pushed in a rebound off a Stretton shot. Down 5-I, Stretton and Prior teamed up again for the team's second goal with Prior earning the point at 4:05 on a nice passing play. Elora topped off their scor- ing with two more, ending the game with a 7-2 win. Smith' was again steady in net, deflecting shots over his head and sprawling to block rebounds. He also made a great glove save late in the third. The loss pitted Brussels against West Lorne at 7:30 p.m. In spite of being shut out in the 6-0 loss, the team showed some good works. Wilkinson and Wheeler combined to squeeze out a breaking player and Cronin rushed repeatedly into the West Lorne end to follow up on a long pass by a teammate. Cardiff's stick work resulted in stolen pucks and Becker and Johnston teamed up twice for very nice passes from the blue- line in for a shot though they were stopped. Deitner worked both bluelines, clearing her zone and keeping the puck in the opponent's end.
