Defense to the Rescue

Goaltending and defense bailed out an underachieving offense in tonight's 2-0 win over Scarborough. Although the Storm once again held a significant territorial advantage, the forwards failed to capitalize on numerous scoring opportunities. However, the defense took advantage of their opportunities too preserve the win. Mari had a particularly strong game at both ends of the rink and likely the lead the team in shots. She scored the first goal from the slot. Jasmine had the only other goal on a slapshot from outside the blue line that the Scarborough goalie was unable to handle. Alisha did not have a heavy workload but stopped everything that came her way to record a second consecutive shutout. It was good to see Ron and Leigh Durand at the game although we think they were cheering for the wrong team.
