Golden Jets Women Third
The Golden Jets senior women played four games last weekend at the Olympium pool in Etobicoke as part of the Ontario Water Polo Festival.
On Friday night, the women coasted to a 22-1 victory over the York University Lions with multiple goal performances from Christi Bardecki, Julie Szpara, Jen Johnston, Kerry Mosher-Seif, Karen Gibson, Chloe Potovsky and Emily Bidinosti.
Saturday morning's opponent was the McMaster University Marauders. The Jets leapt out to a 5-1 advantage before giving up two late goals en route to a 7-5 win. Tanya Robinson had a strong game in goal for the Jets.
At the unearthly hour of 7am Sunday, the older Jets climbed out of bed to face the combination Mavericks-Shadow team which had four players show up late and be benched leaving the team with the minimum seven players. The Jets took advantage of the situation and won easily.
The final game was against the Carleton Ravens. Missing a couple of players due to work commitments, the Jets fell behind early by six goals and never recovered.
All in all, the weekend was a huge success for the team and its players who were playing together for the first time this playing season without much training.
The Golden Jets women's team was comprised of those members not attending UofT as those members represented UofT at the same tournament. The UofT Varsity Blues team finished tied for first with Carleton after the two teams played to a hard fought 8-8 tie on Saturday night and won all their other games.
