St Thomas 16^th Annual House League Select Tournament

 

On July 21^st/22^nd the Petrolia Oil Barons U12 girls competed in the 16^th Annual House League Select Tournament in St Thomas. For their first match up, they beat Burford by a score of 2-1. Scoring for Petrolia were Sarah Charlton and Jenna Rops. Later that day, the girls faced the St Thomas All Stars and lost 6-0. Sharing duties in net for Petrolia was MacKenzie Knight and Mallory Straatman. Then, on Sunday morning, they played the Flamborough Flames ending the round robin portion of the tournament with a loss of 2-0. They; however, ended in 2^nd spot in their pool and found themselves in the semifinals. For this game they had to again play the St Thomas All Stars. Petrolia led very early in the game by a goal from Mallory Straatman. St Thomas replied a bit later with a goal but Petrolia would take the lead from a shot by Lexine VanLeerzen and held on to defeat a very surprised St Thomas team by a score of 2-1. Petrolia earned the spot in the finals by the entire team playing very hard combined with solid effort in net by MacKenzie Knight.  The Oil Barons had to play Flamborough Flames again in the final. They had to settle for (a well earned) “FINALIST” cup having been defeated by the tournament champions from Flamborough by a score of 3-0.

 

After becoming finalists at the 16^th Annual St Thomas tournament over the weekend, the girls returned to LKDSL action on July 23^rd, when Petrolia U12 Oil Barons played against the U14 Wallaceburg team losing the game by a score of 1-0.
