2010-11 National Women's Under-18 Team

RED EDGES WHITE 3-2...AGAIN

TORONTO, Ont. – Red did it again Sunday at the MasterCard Centre, topping White 3-2 in the final intersquad game of the Natonal Women’s Under-18 selection camp in Toronto, with Sarah Robson (Mississauga, Ont.) contributing two of the three markers.

The puck flew up and down the ice during the first, but neither Red nor White could slip it past the goal line by the time the clock ticked down on the period.

Robson took the initiative on behalf of Red at the start of the second, taking a Nicole Connery (Newmarket, Ont.) pass and putting Red up on the scoreboard to make it 1-0 just two minutes into the period. But White wasn’t about to let Red score another before the period was up, and was able to capitalize on a powerplay by keeping the puck in the offensive zone and digging away at the net, with Emily Fulton (Stratford, Ont.) getting her stick on it midway through the period to tie it up going into intermisson.

Red and White continued to trade goals into the third, with Erika Sowchuk (Vauxhall, Alta.) getting some help from Erin Ambrose (Keswick, Ont.) to regain the lead five minutes into the period and Fulton responding a couple of minutes later to score her second of the game.

With an even 2-2 score, the game could have gone either way, but Robson came through again on a pass from Cydney Roesler (Stittsville, Ont.) at 7:48 in the third, to give Red its second and final win of the selection camp. Even a late game timeout couldn’t help White get back on the game sheet.

Twenty of the 31 players who attended Canada’s National Women’s Under-18 selection camp will receive early Christmas presents, as the roster for the upcoming World Women’s Under-18 Championship in Stockholm, Sweden will be announced this week. The world championship starts Tuesday, January 1 and culminates with the gold medal game Saturday, January 8. Canada will be looking to defend its gold medal title.
