Leaside Jr. Wildcats defeated the Southwest Wildcats Saturday night at Leaside Gardens. The score was 2-1 and it has to be said that for a team that sits at the bottom of the Provincial Women’s Hockey League Southwest did a creditable job in keeping the score so low,. Much of the credit must go to goaltender Emily O’Bright who kicked out 35 shots of 37 fired at her by Leaside. For her part, Katie Mowbray stopped 17 of 18. Another remarkable statistic was the zero minutes Leaside spent in the penalty box. In fact there were no penalties in this game. The Leaside scoring was done by Megan Pardy to win it at 17.45 of the third. Not a minute too soon. Leaside’s first goal was scored by Caitlin Heale at 10.44 of the first period. The Southwest goal was scored by Ellen Donaldson at 10:30 into the second period. The win moves Leaside into sixth spot in the 20-team PWHL.
