Pecora scored very early against Dorchester in the championship to take
the lead 1-0. Dorchester came back and scored a very nice productive
goal to tie the game. The game remained tied throughout the 2nd
half and both overtime halves. The game went into a 5 player shootout.
Sarnia’s five shooters showed their talent when it came down to a 5
player shootout. Marlowe had a beautiful shot that caught the post and
went out. Danielle Girard, Samantha and Sydney Mellon and Jenna Prevost
all beat Dorchester’s goalie. Karly Dobbin made 2 saves on Dorchester
to give Sarnia Spirit the championship.
