26 -- Se Citizen - 18, 1993 CNH Petites run into tough luck The Community Nursing "Home Petites went into their final tournament of the year, the Regionals, with their backs against the wall. The team had lost the chance to participate in the League Championship 'final on a licated tie breaker that from Jennifer Donnelly and Leanne Holt. With the goalie out, Port had the pressure on "for the remainder of the game but to no avail. Game one ended in a 4-1 loss with the team playing tionally well despite the allowed Whitby to move ahead despite a better all round performance in the round robin by the Port squad. The Regionals pitted Port and the Ajax Select that had moved down from the CORL league, the Pickering team that was supposed to be moved up the CORL loop and the always physical Whitby team. In game one, the coaching staff did not tell the girls that they were playing the Select team as the last time these two 'teams played the Ajax team overwhelmed Port more because of being psyched than anything. A nervous first shift allowed a quick goal and the uphill battle began. Ajax opened a 2-0 lead before Leanne Holt narrowed the gap with an unassisted marker. Just before the period ended, Ajax scored while Port , was short handed. In period two, Ajax took advantage of timely penalties called against Port just when the momentum was changing. Port put one into the net that the referee waived off and then didn't see the goalie kick the ring over the line (it would have been 3-2). Instead a penalty and an Ajax goal made the deficit 4-1. Miranda Burgess gave the "wrinkles" girls a chance with just 58 seconds remaining in contest when completing a checking and passing play FULL 655-3304 OR SERVICE difficulties they had to overcome. Yes, they figured out it was the Ajax rep team but A with a little better shooting the game would have been a win. Games with their next opponent, Whitby, have always been tough and close games. The difference is usually how much Whitby can get away with as, this team always takes the body contact rule to the limit. Jennifer Imrie opened the scoring on the first ghift, on an unassisted marker, to give the C.N.H. girls the early lead. Whitby evened the score less then a minute later and the struggle had begun. Another unassisted goal by Jen Imrie made the score 2-1. The turning point came when coach Burgess was given the boot for asking why there was no tripping penalty on a play that resulted in an injury to a Port player. On a nice pass, Lisa Lefort found Leanne Holt and the lead was two near the end of the period. At the end of the period Whitby put the ring into the net as the buzzer sounded. The referee allowed the goal and the air was being taken out of the girls by this series of" events, Despite, the penalty barrage, the Community Nursing Home team worked as hard as they have all year in a tremendous effort by everyone. Jennifer Donnelly gave Port a 4-2 lead on a nice lead pass from Leanne Davison for a breakaway. Whitby got this one back in short order however. ; Jennifer Donnelly netted another to stretch the lead when she finished off a pass from a hard working Julia Leamen. Whitby responded in kind to narrow the gap. Two quick goals by the opposition had Port behind the eight ball with only seven minutes remaining. At this point, five Port players had been injured sufficiently that they were ble to play or function at full capacity. With just over two minutes remaining, Whitby got the insurance marker they needed to put the game away. A demoralized Port team gave up one more at the end of the . game for-an 8-6 loss. In this game three Port goals were disallowed! Despite the two losses the team had an outside chance of advancing when they left the arena. This chance was taken away with a 6-6 tie between Ajax and Pickering early on day two of the tournament. The stake in game three was to upset Pickering and throw a wrench into the works. Pickering opened the scoring but Leanne Holt replied to tie the game with the assist going to Lisa Lefort. Jennifer Donnelly put the team ahead with an unassisted goal and - Pickering was - concerned about the outcome. Before the period ended, Pickering tied the score, 2-2.
