Tornado Ladies As: 2
SCC: 0
Saturday resulted in another eventful day of ladies hockey for the As they squared up against a feisty SCC. Focusing on 'tidy hockey', the As quickly pressed an offensive attack, playing 11 field (wo)men for the first 10 minutes. With the goalie taking the field, the As settled into their battled tested 3-4-3 formation and consistently worked the ball up the right side to generate scoring opportunities.
Imagine their surprise to have a ref who found her whistle! Chris was the first to be sent to the sin bin for 2 minutes due to an aggressive tackle. It wasn't long after she found her way back onto the pitch that Helen was blown up for a clean tackle and given a yellow. 10 minutes on the naughty chair.
With the first half left at 0-0, the As were nothing less than fired up start of the second. Majority of play left SCC back pedalling on defence while the As created numerous scoring opportunities. Inevitably, the As scored their first goal. Hils fired a high bouncing shot with Kim deflecting off the back line to connect with the back of the net. Controversial but given. The As pressed on through interesting calls…
(The best one was a short given to SCC. Reason: you cannot shadow a player with your stick on the ground and direct her where to go. Hmmm...)
To score their second goal. Playing one-two hockey up the right side, the ball was laid off to Chris who dribbled through numerous defenders and fired a low, hard shot to hit the backboard. The As held SCC to win 2-0. Great job everyone (particularly defence) working through the calls and playing solid Tornado hockey!
