Welcome to Erie


Well the first day at the Sarah Tournament in Erie went quite well. Game 1 had the Storm matched up against the Amherst Lady Knights. The Lady Knights had some terrific players but team play was non-existent. Consequently, most rushes failed to develop into legitimate scoring chances. The final score was 4-1 for the Storm.

The Storm jumped into a early 3-0 lead and scored on their first two shots on net. The opening goal was by Kailee who jumped on a loose puck to whistled it past the Amherst goalie. Shortly after Mari wired an excellent feed from SK over the shoulder of the goalie. And later SK connected on a pass for her firsts of two goals. That's right our converted defenseman finished the game with two goals and an assist. The first period score was 3-1 but that was misleading as the Amherst team started the game strongly but was repeatedly thwarted by Bianca who had an exceptional game in net. She finished the game with 23 saves on 24 shots.
