Walkerton’s Wightmans battle Beaver Valley to a tie
With exciting end to end action Walkerton’s Wightmans Women’s Local League Atoms came back to tie the strong team from Beaver Valley.

Strong goaltending from Dana B. was a deciding factor in this game.  Beaver Valley bombarded the net time and time again but Dana B.turned the puck away.  Strong defensive performances from Lily H, Justine M, Moira and Emily E, also played a key role in the game.

 

The scoring was started by an unassisted first period breakaway goal by Samantha H.  She finished off the rush with a quick and decisive wrist shot into the top corner.  This first goal held up until midway in the 2nd period when Beaver Valley managed to find the back of the net.

 

After some outstanding goaltending by both teams’ goalies, and exciting back and forth scoring chances Beaver Valley pulled into the lead early in the 3rd period.  However, Walkerton was not done.  Walkerton stepped up their game, dominating the last half of the period, peppering the net with scoring chance after scoring chance.  In the dying moments of the game Stephanie Y made a strong run up the ice.  Waiting for the rebound was Emily E who found the netting with a strong follow up shot.

 

It looked like Wightman’s might just pull out the win, dominating the final minute of the game, but in the end this strong game by these talented women resulted in the tie.
