Lightning Lose Close One
The Saugeen Maitland Lightning hosted the Cambridge Road Runners at the Howick Arena on Sunday and ended up losing a close 2-1 game.
The local squad came out fore-checking hard and had some great scoring opportunities but were unable to capitalize. Unfortunately for the Lightning, it was Cambridge that lit up the score board first in the second period. However, the girls were able to battle back and tie the game up just a couple minutes later.
Cambridge went on to get another goal before the break between the second and third period. Coming out in the third the game was hard fought and back and forth action made for some exciting play. The game came down to the Lightning pulling the goalie and applying some great force against the Roadrunners, but were not able to find the mesh. At the final buzzer, the game remained 2-1 for Cambridge.
The girls next game is a home game next Saturday (January 18th) at the Howick arena at noon against Waterloo Ravens.
