The Tuff Schist came away from game #3 with their first shutout of the season! With goalie Hillary absent, we were happy to have Tuff Schist alumna Megan M return for one game to step between the pipes. Although play was competitive, Megan only had to make maybe one save in the first half of the game--the second half saw her get several shots, but she stopped them all to keep us alive! (Despite there being one guy on the other team whose shots were hard enough that they sounded like they would crack the boards or glass, not a single one of them ever hit the net ;).)
About two-thirds of the way through the first period, Kristen took the puck from one end to the other (assisted by Louma coming out of our zone) for a beautiful goal to put us on the board. The second goal came in the second half, by offensive defence Anne Marie (assisted by Kristy).
There were lots of other great passes throughout the game, and we kept up the pace the whole time to finish with the 2-0 win. Overall, the Slingers gave us a really good, competitive game, some of the best hockey we've had in a while. Looking forward to the next game on October 26th!
