Nepean Wildcats Bounce Back
The Nepean Wildcats were back in action last night for the first time since the Stoney Creek Showcase, and they were looking for blood.
During the showcase the Wildcats had a strong performance going 3-1 in the tournament before heading to the silver medal game where they ultimately fell to John Abbott College, ending the tournament with two losses the Wildcats were eager to break the streak.
And that they did, putting up a big 3-1 performance against the visiting Barrie Sharks, moving to 2-0 on the U22 Elite season.
While the Sharks struck first with Samantha Larmand finding the back of the net midway through the first. The Wildcats were not going down without a fight coming out strong in the second scoring three consecutive goals courtesy of Breanna Bray who netted the equalizer and the insurance goal, with Mallea McMullen’s goal in between for what was ultimately the game winner.
With the 2 goals Brianna Bray moved into twelfth overall on the leaderboard with 3 points this season. She’s now tied for third in goals with 3 so far this season. Mallea McMullen also improved to 3 points this season with the game-winning goal, she now has 1 goal and 2 assists.
While in net Valerie Bisson continued to stun with 22 saves allowing just one goal. Bisson is ranked top-five for U22 Elite goaltenders with a 0.929 save percentage so far this season with 42 saves, going 1-1 in her first two starts.
On the other side Eleanor Feltham locked the Wildcats out of two-period, keeping the game within reach, not folding under pressure. She is ranked in the top-ten goaltenders with a 0.870 save percentage through two starts, leaving her 1-1.
