Source for Sports – 3 Crawford’s Canines – 3

Robyn Bourck’s hattrick kept Crawford’s Canines even with Source for Sports in a 3-3 tie Saturday night at McMeeken. All three of Bourck’s goals were unassisted. Answering for The Source were rookie Kellie Carter, newbee Chantal Anderson and pick up player, Lisa Case. Lisa Turco had two assists with singles going to Carter, Case, Elaine Derosario and Lisa Venier. Leslie Bois substituted in goal for the Canines’ regular netminder, Lois Pine.

Pine also had one assist along with Christine Robertson and Natalie Barry. Rosalee Boissoneau pitched in with two assists. Lafarge opened the scoring just a minute into the game on a goal by Patti Storozuk but then fell behind 5-1 by the end of the second frame. Goals by Sharon Templeton and pick up player Shannon McLeod in the third period gave Lafarge a bit of a lift, but B&J’s solid penalty killing gave them the edge in momentum as they held on to win. Templeton and Alicia Pollock each had one assist for Lafarge. B&J’s Joy Agawa picked up the win in goal.

Linda Benedek also scored with single helpers from Patti Lutz and Michelle Dillenbeck. Crawford’s held a brief 1-0 lead midway through the first period on a goal by Robyn Bourck. Vicky Irving and Cathy Toni assisted on the play. However, it was all Country Way from then on.

BDO Dunwoody – 4 Algoma Insurance – 0

BDO handed Algoma Insurance their second shut out loss of the weekend with a 4-0 win on Sunday. Wendy Basawa led the way scoring twice and setting up Jen Blahey and Pam Booth for the other two goals.
