RIDGEBACKS WOMEN'S HOCKEY ONLY ABLE TO SCORE ONE
St. Catherines - In a battle of teams looking to turn around the beginning of their seasons, the Ridgebacks visited the Brock Badgers (St. Catherines) on Saturday afternoon, October 20 with both teams looking for the first 'w' of the season.
The Ridgebacks came out somewhat tentative and it showed on the scoreboard, as they were quickly trailing 3-0 after only ten minutes of play as Kelly Walker scored the natural hat-trick for the Badgers. Coach Pitcher changed goalies and it did spark the UOIT offence for the rest of the period, however, they were not able to put anything behind the Badger netminder.
The Ridgebacks continued the momentum in the second and were able to trade goals with Brock. Forward Katie Grant (Oshawa) scored her first goal of the season on a shot from the slot on a pass from Chrissy Tereshyn (Scarborough) from behind the net.
The Ridgebacks were unable to build momentum from the end of the second period, Brock came out hard in the third period were determined to win their first game of the season and held the Ridgebacks at bay.
