Sandelovich Stonewalls Peterborough

NORTH YORK, ON — Coming off a 2-2 tie to open their OWHA Provincials bid, the Sportop Midget AA Queens looked to get their first “W” against the Peterborough Ice Kats.

The Queens carried the play in the first, outshooting Peterborough 6-2 but failed to score on their opportunities. Peterborough came back with a vengeance in the second, outshooting the Queens 12-6, including a dangerous powerplay where they managed 6 shots on net but Queens goal Kamryn Sandelovich shut the door on the Ice Kats.

The scoreless draw looked like it would maybe hold up but with 6:18 left, the Queens finally got their first powerplay of the game and went to work. Brenna Nicol fed the puck to the point to Brynne Lambert who’s shot would get deflected in by Alexis Paddington with 5:40 left in the game. Peterborough pulled their goalie in the final minute. Nicol had a chance to put the game away with 30 seconds left but hit the post of the empty net. Peterborough pressed but Sandelovich stonewalled the Ice Kats, making 23 saves in a 1-0 shutout. Shots were 23-19 for Peterborough.

In their afternoon tilt with the undefeated Mississauga Chiefs, all of the scoring went in the other direction as Mississauga opened up a 2-0 lead in the first. The Queens outshot the Chiefs 25-20 but couldn't find the back of the net. Mississauga would add one more as Thunder Bay suffered their first loss to the tournament.

The Sportop Midget AA Queens Saturday schedule is to be determined.
