Petrolia
Wed, May 21
The Girls played a great match
with possession and shots on goal significantly leaning in
their favour. The Spirit are showing significant signs of
improvement in their all around team play and are clearly
becoming much more comfortable as a unit.
The Sarnia Spirit jumped out to
a quick 1 goal lead in the early stages of the 1st
half with a high quality strike from #15 Brittany Sefton,
assisted by #12 Maria Vani. Sarnia Spirit Goal-Keeper in
the 1st half, #16 Emily Pekham, made a solid save
shortly after on a partial break from Petrolia. #15
Brittany Sefton scored her 2nd goal in the 10th
minute assisted by #4 Lauren Handy. The Spirit continued
their dominance of the half keeping possession and sending
quality passes through to their strikers. Sarnia forward
#12 Maria Vani scored in the 18th and 20th
minute on assists from #20 Christina Vani and #8 Emily
Sparham. Sarnia’s defense played consistent throughout
highlighted by a break-away saving play from #18 Kelsy Ann
Prior. Petrolia scored their 1st goal of the
match in the 25th minute on a free-kick from just
outside the box. Sarnia Spirit quickly responded with goals
in the 27th and 32nd minute scored by
#12 Maria Vani on assists from #3 Teighan Chate and #4
Lauren Handy. The 1st half came to a close with
the Sarnia Spirit Leading Petrolia 6-1.
The 2nd half played
similar to the 1st with the Sarnia Spirit
controlling much of the play. #15 Brittany Sefton scored in
the 50th minute on a good through ball from #4
Lauren Handy. 2nd half Goal-Keeper, #1 Kayla
Griffiths, played solid with quality position play and good
ball control within the area. The Spirit’s defensive line
and mid-field played an excellent match stopping most
attempts from Petrolia to get through to the net. The
Spirit scored their final goal of the game in the 60th
minute on a shot from #5 Kadin Siopidou-D’Andrea on a good
quality pass from #3 Teighan Chate.
