Sarnia Spirit U10 Win Season Opener
 

Sarnia Spirit opened the season with a close win over the tough Chatham Attack.  Sarnia started the game well and went straight on the attack. A hard shot from Chloe Kennedy went just by the post followed by a great save from the Chatham goalie.
 

Against the run of play, Chatham managed to get in behind the Sarnia defence and score to opener. Spirit then replied quick with a great pass out of defence from Alexa Eldridge found Mickayla Moses who turned, passed inside to Sarah McCormick who slotted the ball home to level the game. One last chance for Chatham before half was foiled with a great stop from Morgan Waggs in the Sarnia net.
Half Time 1 - 1.
 

2nd half started with a very determined Sarnia team. Sarnia pressed with good team work from Skylr Melton and Bianca Sapone on the wings.  Carmen Handy crossed in a great corner kick won by Sydney Caron in the box. Sydney slotted the ball to Chloe Kennedy who scored for Sarnia to take the lead. With the game hanging on the edge, Mofoluke Obiri made a nice wide pass to Julie Blanchette, Julie passed inside to Mickayla Moses. Great pass from Mickayla found Carmen Handy in space wide right. Carmen cut in towards goal and shot hard past the Chatham goalie. Sarnia kept pushing with Carmen causing more problems down the wing with a great through ball to Mickayla Moses. Mickalya one on one with the goalie, made no mistake and gave Sarnia  a commanding 4 - 1 lead, Chatham did not give up. They pressed hard and replied with 2 goals .

Sarnia's second half goalie Dalphine Hiba had some fine saves along with great defensive play from Madisyn Mika, Morgan Waggs, Alexa Eldridge and Mofoluke Obiri helped secure Sarnia's 4 - 3 win in a nail biting finish.

 
Great win for the girls 1st ever League game, excellent team work! Well done girls.
