The opening game of the quarter final series against the Aurora Panthers was like any other game in the past month. The Storm used speed to wear down their opponents and took advantage of a scoring opportunity to walk away with a 1-0. The score was close but the Storm had a significant territorial advantage. Kendra was rarely challenged as she came up with her 6th shutout of the season.
Mari again came through in the clutch with the only goal of the game. That was all that was needed this night. The undefeated streak goes to 12 games which beats the 11 game undefeated streak of last season. Nine of the 12 games have been wins.The games will be tougher from here on. Amanda was lost today for the rest of the season with a fractured wrist. As well, 4 players will be away over next few weeks during school breaks. However, this team no longer relies on one or two players. We know that those who are around will pick up the slack.
The second game of the quarter final series is Thursday at the Aurora Community Centre.
