Playing in pressure games is tough and the young Storm team certainly found that out in their first Provincial game. In response to the pressure, players reverted back to a style of play that we haven't seen in many months. The result was a disappointing 3-1 loss to Vaughan. It was disappointing because all the players knew that could have done better and the opponents were beatable.
The game started off well and Mari buried a big rebound off a shot by Sheri in the first period. The one goal lead until the second period when the Vaughan captain scored the first of two goals on the powerplay. Less than two minutes later she scored again and the final goal was scored with only 28 seconds left in the period while on the powerplay.
The goal for the next two games to get back to the wide open style of game that has been so successful for the team for the past 3 months.
