Spirit U12B Girls: Sarnia vs. Wallaceburg June 10/09
The girls played a
strong Wallaceburg side Wednesday evening. The first
half was evenly played, with both sides running well, up
and down the pitch.
Elaine Larocque and Amy McCormick showed great defence
on several strong Wallaceburg attempts, and the half
ended nil-nil. The second half began with Wallaceburg on
the receiving end of a couple of lucky breaks in the
middle of the field, which they quickly converted to
goals. However, the girls did not let up, and a late 2nd
half pressure burst by Sarnia, led by Naomi Parsons with
several beautiful long runs and great shots on net, and
Flora Richardson with a gorgeous centering pass, brought
them close. Unfortunately, they could not beat the
Wallaceburg keeper, and the game ended 2-0 in their
favor.

Spirit U12B Girls Soccer vs. Petrolia-June 15/09.
The
girls found themselves in a tough battle with Petrolia
Monday night. The first half was a defensive struggle,
with both teams forcing the play to the sides. Shelby
Bigras and Elaine Larocque showed great hustle and
defence on several strong attempts, and Abigail Zalewski
had a number of excellent defensive clearing passes,
assisting her teammates on a few shots on goal. The
first half ended nil-nil.
Just as the second half
began, Sarnia had a defensive lapse on a Petrolia throw
in, which allowed Petrolia a clear break on net and
their first goal of the season. This seemed to energize
Sarnia, with Bea Mendoza`s strong attempt on goal, and
Sarnia maintained heavy pressure offensively throughout
the remainder of the half. Lipine Parsons had several
long runs through tight quarters in the middle, and
Lauren Wilson amazed the crowd with an outstanding
left-footed one time shot on net. Alas, the Petrolia
keeper proved up to the challenge, and Petrolia stole
the game 1-0 for their first win of the season.
