Womens hockey takes two

The Lady Flames hockey team proved themselves to be tough and determined as they faced the Raleigh women’s hockey team this weekend. On Saturday they came through with a final score of 2-1, and Sunday with a big 4-1 win. With four players out due to injuries, each player was forced to play harder and longer shifts. Freshman goalie, Chantal Lishynski, was asked to play outside the net and surprised everyone when she not only played well, but also scored the winning goal.

“I was so excited when coach let me play out because it gave me a whole new perspective on the game outside of the net,” said Lischynski. “It felt a little strange at first, but when I tipped the puck in and scored, it felt so good to be on the other side of the net for a change.”

The game started out strong with a goal from assistant captain, Laura DelMonte. With a 2-0 lead in the third period, Raleigh came forward and scored their first goal with less than 10 minutes left in the game. Crunched for time, Lishynski fought for the puck and gained control, giving the Flames a strong 4-1 lead to finish the game.

The fans were ecstatic after Lishynski’s goal, giving the Flames even more momentum to finish the game strong.

“With so many girls out with injuries, we had a short bench, so we had to play really hard,” said freshman Sarah Stevenson. “I was playing with a broken hand and a few other girls played with minor injuries as well so it gave us a lot of motivation to play hard.”

With a new sense of motivation for their next game, the Lady Flames are ready for their full team to be back on the ice for the annual CFAW weekend blue and white game on Nov. 5th.
