JETS WOMEN OPEN MLWP IN MONTREAL
The Golden Jets women opened the 2017 MLWP season in Montreal with a win and three losses.
After driving for 6 hours, the women got in to play the host CAMO club, the defending champions with virtually all of their players training at the National Team Center. After a decent first quarter where the Jets trailed 4-2, CAMO swam away with the game winning 17-5. Ana Miroslavic scored twice with singles going to Marianne Tout, Tanya Robinson and Shae Fournier.
The next day, the team faced off in a game that would count in the standings but against a team, New York AC, that would not be playing in the playoffs. The team held strong, trailing only 4-6 in the third quarter but ran out of gas before succumbing 13-7. Fournier showed her prowess as a national team player scoring 5 of the goals while Emily Kelvin-Davies and Miroslavic added the others.
Later in the day, the tired squad went up against Capital Wave (Ottawa) and never recovered from a poor 0-4 first quarter start. Though the rest of the game went even up, the Jets lost 10-6. Fournier and Miroslavic each tallied twice with Megan MacCormac and Tout scoring once each.
On Sunday, the Jets' final game of the weekend was against the Ottawa Titans. The teams fought hard with the Jets leading 4-3 after one quarter, 6-5 after two and the teams being tied 7-7 midway through the third quarter. Then the Jets pulled away to win 16-9. Fournier again had a big game with 6 goals, Kassie Fraser, Miroslavic and MacCormac each notched a pair and Aoife Miller, Rhianne Wood, Kelvin-Davies and Tout scored once.
Next up for the Jets is a game at home against Hammer WPC (Hamilton).
