Sarnia, ON - The Lambton Jr. Sting Minor Midget AAA
team needed an extra game in their series with the
Waterloo Wolves, defeating the Wolves 2-0 in game
six and moving on to the next round of the playdowns.
After a
scoreless first and second periods, Dennis Yan would
open the scoring in the middle of the third to put
the Jr. Sting up 1-0. Carter Allen
assisted on the goal.
The Wolves
needed the victory so with time running out, they
pulled their goalie. Unfortunately for them, Ryan
Verbeek took control and scored into the empty net, securing
the victory for the Sting with 17 seconds remaining.
Cornel
Felder picked up the shutout for the Sting stopping
all 18 shots he faced.
Lambton
won game one 4-3 in overtime, while game two settled
at a 6-6 tie. Lambton would take game three 4-3, but
Waterloo would win game four 3-1 and even the series
with a 4-1 victory in game five.
The Minor Midgets now await their schedule as they
head into the semi finals later this week.
