S P O RT S Highschool Hockey: Girls’ team secures first place with 4-3 win over BCI Paris Panthers Report with George Le Gresley
Three teams, Paris, Assumption and Brantford C.I. are all tied for first place with 4-1 records, making Wednesday’s game against BCI an opportunity for the Panther girls to take first place in the division. Paris opened up the scoring with a beautiful pass from Reese Halliday to Scout Hergott-Leader for a 1-0 lead.
BCI gets the man advantage on a penalty, but with Paris’ tenacious penalty kill, led by Halliday who sores a short-handed goal and Harley Shuart, BCI’s power play rarely leaves their zone. BCI scores and the first period ends with the Panthers lead 2-1. The only goal in the second period came off Reese Halliday’s stick and the period ends with Paris leading 3-1. The third period’s momentum switched to BCI’s offence, who scored two goals to tie the score at three, with 12 minutes remaining in regulation
time. With 6 minutes remaining, a mad scramble in front of the BCI netminder occurred with Harley Shuart breaking the tie and scoring the game winning goal and the Panther girls securing a first place in their division. Next up for the team is a meeting Monday against Assumption College.
