Midget AA Lightning Take Game 1 of West Semi-Final
Submitted by Rob Duncan.  The Saugeen Maitland Midget AA took game one of their Lower Lakes West Division semi-final by a 2-1 score over the Bluewater Hawks.  The Lightning opened the scoring in the first period on a seeing-eye point shot from Jamie Simpson.  Cassidy Colhoun did some yeoman corner work and dumped the puck back to Simpson.  The game was fast-paced and end to end for most of the remainder of the game but remained 1-0 due to some great saves at both ends of the ice from Lightning goaltender Shea Tiley and the Hawks' netminder.

Bluewater managed to tie it up mid-way through the third on a questionable
wrap-around play.  The gritty Lightning were not to be held to a tie,
however, and scored the winner with under 2 minutes left in the game.
Miranda Lantz lifted a rebound over the Bluewater goalie off another point
shot from Kailyn Soers.  Ashlee Lawrence earned the second assist.  The
series continues next Saturday in Strathroy with the third game in Teewater
on Sunday, if necessary.  For schedule and results see the Lightning
