Women’s Bellies Win 3-2 against North Shore!

Salmonbellies played the North Shore Indians in an exhilarating, down to the wire game, capturing a win in the last 11 seconds. Adapting to play against North Shore’s Offense/Defense strategy, the Bellies applied this week’s practice to the game situation and made their coaches proud! There was no yelling in the dressing room after this game, just some good cheers and a few beers down at The Terminal Pub.

The fans that turned up at Queen’s Park for the game weren’t disappointed as #7 Lauren Shima, sponsored by Next Level Games, scored the first goal of the game in the first period. It was singer off the both poles, assisted by #11 Kait Jones, sponsored by Jasmin Schenk RMT, from #12 Taylor Smith, sponsored by Pacific Rim Industrial Insulation Ltd.  North Shore answered back with a tough goal that snuck through the legs of goalie Heather Kwok and the first period ended 1-1. Heather continues to impress us with her outstanding natural ability in the net. North Shore kept coming at her with experience and truly imposing shots on net, but she kept her cool and kept them to only 2 goals for the game.

#17 Captain Chelsea Grover, sponsored by PGL Environmental scored with an assist from goalie Heather Kwok in the second, and again the in last 11 secs of the 3rd to win the game. The assist came from #11 Kait Jones, sponsored by Jasmin Schenk RMT from #7 Lauren Shima, sponsored by Next Level Games.

The coaches pick for player of the game went to #7 Lauren Shima, sponsored by Next Level Games, who demonstrated excellence in hard working athleticism, determination and team work on the floor. Way to go Lauren!

Next game is Sunday May 29th, 2011, when the team travels to Coquitlam to take on the Adanacs for their second meeting of the year and hope to continue their winning streak!
