Stars Back to Winning Ways

Sage led her Sudbury Stars team to a wet victory on Saturday against Belmont. Sage was captain of the team for the day and set the tone early with her third goal of the season. It was a sweet run down the right side with two defenders on. After shaking one loose, she drilled the ball into the far upper corner of the goal. The Belmont goalie could only watch the shot zip over her head and into the net. In the second half, Sage played goalie. She refused to let Belmont on the score board and preserved the 5-0 victory. In fact, Sage only had to make one save in the second half. She did have to stand in the rain for the whole time though. Afterwards, Sage proclaimed "I love playing in the rain. Too bad it wasn't muddy."

The picture above shows Sage's starting squad.  On Sage's left is her friend Caroline, who is also in her fourth grade class.  One her right is her other best friend from the team, Adelle.  This is the first year playing with these girls.

The avid fan base for the Stars was missing some key supporters for this game. Fortunately, Grampy came and held an umbrella over the team bench. It was a key role in the win. Next week the Stars are back on the road playing the strong Canton team. Game is at 11:45.
