The Midget Girls in Silverstick Tournament
The Midget Sailorettes played an excellent tournament in last weekend's Saugeen Shores Silverstick.
In game one in Southampton, Jessica Ryan scored the Sailorettes only goal in the dying seconds of the game. Ryan's goal was enough to give the team a 1-1 tie against Kincardine.
Later, the Goderich midget girls won a decisive 3-0 win over Saugeen Shores. Kelsa Curran opened the Goderich scoring with assists from Michelle Kelly and Jaden Mitchell. Within seconds, Shayla Mathers scored the Sailorette's second goal on a long pass from Kelly.
Rachel Sowerby with help from Jacqueline Martin got the last Goderich goal in the third period. Netminder Jessica Yates earned the shutout with the aid of strong defensive work from Danielle Bean and Laura Smith.
In game three, the Sailorettes dominated Upper Maitland with a convincing 5-1 win. MIchelle Kelly earned the hat trick with three goals. Mathers and Sowerby abetted Kelly's first goal. Kelsa Curran won an assist on Kelly's second goal.
Along with Sowerby, Kelly also received a point for assisting the Sailorette's first goal of the game scored by Mathers. Jessica Ryan and Jaden Mitchell worked hard around the Saugeen net and assisted Julia Huber's goal.
Despite aggressive play from Kristin McColl and Taylor Pritchard, the Midget Sailorettes fell 2-0 to Mitchell in Paisley on Saturday.
