TIVERTON - Hailey H. and Peyton M. collected two
points apiece to pace their Mount Forest bantam C Rams to a 2-0
semifinal victory over the Kincardine Kinucks at the
Saugeen Shores International Silver Stick tournament.
Saturday’s action saw Hailey score the game-winner in the first period. Morgan F. tallied an insurance marker in the second, on an assist from Hailey.
Peyton chipped in with assists on both goals in a terrific effort throughout two games on Saturday.
“Kincardine gave us a real tough test. They pushed us hard,” said Rams coach Bill W.
“So we needed to come up big. And we did. That was an all-around performance by our team. Every girl played hard, did what we asked and had a positive impact.”
Saturday’s playoff-round victory sets up the championship final as the Rams face off against their league rivals, the South Bruce Blades.
The final goes at 2 p.m. on Sunday at the Plex in Port Elgin.
In earlier pool play Saturday, the Mount Forest girls assembled 9-0 victory over the Walkerton Capitals.
Peyton scored three goals in the early game while Hailey registered a goal and two assists. Carley C. potted two goals for winners against a short-staffed Walkerton team.
Singles went to Morgan, Charlotte T. and Kansas L. with Haven L. had three assists.
Elsewhere at the event, Mount Forest’s atom team also advanced to Sunday’s final, as did the peewee Rams.
So it’s a Mount Forest triple-header on Sunday at the Plex with games starting at 11 a.m. (atoms), 12:30 p.m. (peewees) and 2 p.m. (bantams).
