Sarnia Spirit U11 Beat Chatham

 

Sarnia Spirit U11 played their last league game of the season and finished with a 1 - 0 win against Chatham.

Sarnia seemed more determined after a disappointing loss to Woodstock and nearly took an early lead when Mickayla Moses sent a nice ball through to Chloe Kennedy who's shot was saved . Sarnia pressed hard and looked in control.  20 minutes and their pressure paid off as they took the lead. Nice build up play with Mickayla Moses passing inside the box to Skylr Melton, Skylr turned and slipped a pass to Chloe Kennedy to shoot low into the bottom corner. Sarnia nearly added another when Julie Blanchette won the ball from a Chatham goal kick and ran in on goal but her shot went just wide of the net. Sarnia displayed some nice passing and

once again Mickayla Moses and Sydney Caron combined well to set up Skylr Melton who just missed on net.  Chatham were still in it and had a great chance to equalize, but were denied with a great save by Morgan Wagg's in net for the 1st half. Sarnia's last chance of the half came when the ball broke free to Mickayla Moses 25 yards out. Her 1st time shot chipped the goalie but went inches wide. 1 - 0 half.
 

Second half Sarnia were against a strong wind but Alexa Eldridge, Madisyn Mika , Steph Maitland and Morgan Wagg's managed to stop the Chatham attacks. Sarnia tried to catch Chatham on the break and came close again when Chloe Kennedy outpaced the defence down the right wing and slipped a pass to Skylr Melton at the edge of the box. Skylr found Mickayla Moses on the left side but her hard shot drifted wide. Both teams worked hard

for the remaining 20 minutes but unable to penetrate with a goal. Final score 1 - 0 Sarnia. Morgan Wagg and Daphine Hibma had the shutouts for Sarnia.

 

This wrapped up Sarnia Spirit's league finishing 4th in the London District league with 7 wins 9 losses and 2 ties.
