Atom Sailorettes win two more over the holidays.
The McGeemotors.ca Atom Sailorettes travelled to Seaforth on Saturday December 29th for an exhibition game against the top place team in the WOGHL. The game ended 4-3 for the Sailorettes and was the first loss of the season for the Seaforth girls.
The Sailorettes had not played since December 9th and the first period certainly reflected that until the Sailorettes found their game.
The home team scored first but their lead was short lived when Courtney Gardiner put the Sailorettes on the board. In the second period, the Seaforth girls were still skating hard and went ahead 2-1 however the Sailorettes continued to apply pressure and Becky Higgs found the twine to tie the game. This goal signalled the "winds of change" as the Sailorettes began to regain their momentum and found themselves ahead 3-2 in the third when Megan Johnston fired a razer past the Seaforth goalie. Ashley Bakker responded with the 4th Sailorette goal to make the game 4-2 for the girls in red. Seaforth was not willing to give up and managed to add one more goal.
A great team effort by all the girls and great goaltending from Haley Bowman and Kaitlyn Chagnon. Way to go, girls.
