Game 3 vs. Oakville Hornets
Our only game on Day 2 saw us face off against the Oakville Hornets for a tough battle. There was no scoring in the first 2 periods on a tightly matched battle - however we scored 3 quick goals in the third, and then allowed a PP goal late in the game, and a quick second goal right after for Oakville. The last 3 minutes of the game were incredibly exciting as we fought off a 5 on 4 for 2 full minutes to hold our lead and the win.
Goals: Jocelyne Lavictoire (Taylor Lacroix), Rachel McLean (Elena Ostrowercha), Jocelyne Lavictoire (Olivia Caffery)

Semi Finals vs. North Pittsburgh Wildcats
Our undefeated tournament put us in first place for the semi-finals and a game against a very hungry home team. They played a much tigher defensive game and gave us a good battle. However, two goals in the second period were enough for the win and to advance us to the finals!
Goals: Leisla Walsh (Molly Klager, Lylah Dutta), Elena Ostrowercha (Rachel McLean, Emmalie L'Abbe)

Finals vs. Oakville Hornets
The Hornets were hungry for a win after their defeat in round robin play, and both teams fought hard throughout the game. We opened the scoring on a defensive rush early in the second period, and things were looking great! Oakville tied it up a few minutes later on a blue line steal. And then, a heart breaking bad bounce off the boards and a well-placed poke put it in the net for Oakville's game winning goal. We fought hard throughout the 3rd, including a 6 on 4 chance at the very end with a late tripping call for Oakville, but we were unable to come away with a tying goal.
