West Coast Selects vs Sweden Girls

The girls’ last game of the trip was played against a combination of players from two Swedish girls’ teams, the SSK Sodertalje Sportklubb, and Segeltorp. The ages of the players ranged from eleven through 14-years old. The girls played an even game through most of the first period, until Chloe Whiteside broke open the scoring on an assist from Meagan Ondrick. The first period ended with a score of 1-0 in favor of the WCS girls.

Emma Turbyville got things going early in the second period on an unassisted goal. Lauren (Lew) Williams followed her lead by putting in her own unassisted goal. Shortly later, Jessee Abrahams tipped in a goal off of a pass from Ilana Heaton. Not wanting the WCS girls to have all the fun, the Sweden team dumped one in their own net late in the 2nd period making the score 4-1.

The 3rd period started with a goal by Brianna Tuuri-Cesarz on a beautiful pass from Sara Habal from the corner. Molly Slowe got in on the action by passing to Jessee Abrahams who was waiting in front of the net to score her 2nd goal of the game. Jessee then followed up with her own assist to Ilana Heaton who scored the WCS girls 7th goal of the game. The Sweden girls scored the last goal of the period making the final score of the game 7-2. This was a great way to end the final game of a great hockey trip, and the girls from both teams really enjoyed playing each other. The Sweden girls were extremely gracious toward our team by not only showing great sportsmanship on the ice, but by presenting our girls with gifts after the game.

The girls get ready to play.
