Sarnia vs Oil City
July 19, 2010
Sarnia
travelled to Oil City on July 19th to
battle the Oil Barons on their home
field. Having continued to struggle to
push each respective team out of first
place, everyone knew it would be a tough
battle, and one that perhaps would get
rough.
Sarnia's
defence were kept on their toes,
constantly having to chase down the
Petrolia forwards from getting too close
to Andrew Spenner. Andrew had a tough
game to play, and he certainly dominated
his turf. In total he faced 20 shots on
net, allowing only one each half.
Another excellent save ratio of 90% from
the Sarnia keeper!!!
Petrolia
scored first, with a beautiful shot that
was quick and out of reach of Andrew.
The whistle blew at the half point with
a score of 1 - 0 for the Oil Barons.
The Fury forwards picked up the pace
after that, and they kept the Petrolia
defence running back and forth trying to
regain control of the game. Sarnia
refused to let their guard down, and
tied the game at 1 - 1 when the Fury's
fleet footed forward Trevor McEwan
jumped into the air to head a ball past
the Petrolia keeper. Making the header
possible was a beautiful pass sent in
from Austin Long. Sarnia then scored
another goal when Jacob Pullen received
a pass from Trevor McEwan in front of
the net. Trevor's pass to Jacob was
from a cross sent by Riley Roberts. Way
to work together boys! Kyle Mackin came
close to scoring, Daniel Cicchelli
played an amazing defensive game, and
Christian McCormick showed us all again
that he isn't afraid to use his head to
get the job done! Final score of the
game was 2 - 2. Currently, both Sarnia
and Petrolia are tied for first place.
