WATERLOO, Ont. - The Warriors stayed perfect on home ice in the postseason with a 2-1 win in game two of the OUA semifinals to send the series back to a decisive game three tomorrow in Guelph.
Angela MacDonald (Kitchener) scored a sensational goal at 13:52 of the third period which would stand as the game winner.
MacDonald took a feed from Hannah Street (Shoal Lake) and called her own number on the 2-on-1, firing the shot past the Valerie Lamenta's glove into the top corner. Amy Barnard (Cambridge) picked up the second helper on the goal. Maryn Caragata also got in on the action with her first of the playoffs banging home a rebound after a faceoff win by Carolyn Burke (Mississauga).
Burke won the draw cleanly back to Stephanie Digness (Aldergrove) who got her point shot through. Caragata went hard to the net and had the open net to bang the loose puck into.
Between the pipes, Stephanie Sluys (Clinton) was nearly perfect, making 28 stops including back-to-back highlight saves in the second period to keep the game even at one's. Sluys now boasts a 1.17 GAA and .961 save percentage in the postseason.
Game three goes tomorrow in Guelph at 2pm and can be seen live on OUA.tv.
