Aeros Fill The Net
Aeros beat ClearNet 8-0 in NWHL Action
Ice Gardens, Toronto 02/05/01 -- The Aeros were relentless and unforgiving tonight, as they posted up a big win over the Lightning. Beatrice Goal Tender # 35 Jen Dewar added another SHUT OUT to her impressive stats, thanks to the tremendous efforts of the forwards and defense.
Period 1 action sent chills up the backs of the Lightning. Goal after goal after goal ended up past the Lightning's net minder Nicky Morris. First to initiate the onslaught was #19 Lara Perks off # 71 Becky Kellar's pass. Then Kellar popped in the go-ahead goal from # 14 Cherie Piper and # 10 Kelly Smith. Next # 36 Amy Turek maneuvered the puck past Morris from # 33 Amanda Benoit-Wark and # 11 Cheryl Pounder. With a minute left in the period, Sommer West shot a blocker-mocker that traveled under the pads of Morris and into the net for the goal; the assists came from Turek and Benoit-Wark. With a never-to-late to score attitude # 24 Gillian Apps charged the net from # 2 Cindy
Cryderman's pass in the last 25 seconds.
In period 2, the Lightning switched goalies, which seemed to work. # 30 Sarah Couch stepped in goal and built up a solid brick wall which looked impenetrable until Benoit Wark drilled the puck in from Kellar and # 91 Geraldine Heaney. Finding the same spot minutes later Turek fired one past Couch from Kellar and Heaney.
In the last period Couch patched up the hole and her
defense was rough and swift, but not fast enough to catch Apps who scored in the
last 2 minutes of the game from Pounder and # 9 Gillian Ferrari.
