Still in the first period Morgan Flanagan scored her first goal of the season unassisted. Taylor would score her second of the game in the second period assisted by Hanna Gerrie.

In the second period the Rams struck again and Hanna scored her second of the tournament assisted by Taryn and Taylor. In the third period the Rams would keep on scoring with Taylor getting her third goal of the tournament assisted by Taryn and Jayde.

Addison opened up the scoring for the Rams with her first of the tournament, a nice unassisted goal which started from our blue line. Haven made it 2-0 with her second goal of the tournament assisted by Aalia and Morgan. In the second period Hanna would add another unassisted. Still in the second period Jayde McRobb would launch a shot from the blue line that found its way into the Comets net making it 4-0. In the third period the Rams would put this game away with Morgan's second goal of the tournament assisted by Haven and Aalia. The Game MVP went to Jayde McRobb.
With this win the Rams were in the Final against the only other undefeated team, the Ottawa Ice. The game was full of excitement and once again the Girls continued to give a great performance. At one point killing off a 5 on 3 penalty and matching Ottawa shot for shot. The Rams did come up a little short and lost the game 1-0 to a strong Ottawa Team. The Game MVP went to Kyla Pacheo.
Congratulations on winning silver at the Tournament. These girls came together as a team and we saw scoring coming from both lines and 9 different players in the amount of 15 goals over 5 games. The Defense played the best they have so far this season allowing only 3 goals in 5 games. Our Goaltending was amazing with 3 shut outs in a row. The Pee Wee C Girls should be very proud of themselves and the effort that they put into this tournament. It is going to be a fun and exciting season!!!!
