The second quarter remained tight. Doyle added her second of the afternoon, but Kawartha struck twice and carried a 5-4 lead into halftime. Kawartha took command in the third, outscoring Owen Sound 3-0 to stretch the margin to 8-4 heading into the final frame. The North Stars responded with grit in the fourth quarter, mounting a determined comeback. Taryn Weppler, Todd, and Wilkins scored in rapid succession to cut the deficit to one. Kawartha answered, but Owen Sound kept pressing – Wilkins and Todd scored
again to tie the game 9-9 with under two minutes remaining. Kawartha, however, found the net with 26 seconds left, securing the decisive goal in a hard‑fought 10-9 finish. Bree Wilkins and Ella Todd led the North Stars with three goals apiece, while London Doyle added two goals and Taryn Weppler chipped in with a single marker. Doyle also had four assists in the game. The loss drops the North Stars to 0-1 in pool play, with two games still ahead. Owen Sound returns to
action Thursday night against the Oakville Lady Hawks, who defeated Orillia in their playoff opener.
Owen Sound North Stars, Kawartha, JEWL playoffs, London Doyle, Bree Wilkins, Ella Todd, Taryn Weppler, Oakville Lady Hawks, Orillia
10-9?? that’s basically a shootout lol.
I didn’t even know these teams were playing JEWL stuff. Sounds like they choked in the third with that 3-0 run. Still, 0-1 already is rough.
Wait so they tied it 9-9 and then just… let them score with 26 seconds left? I swear games always end like that. Also who is Todd? Is that the coach or a player? My brain is mixing it up with another article I saw.
Oakville Lady Hawks better watch out, because Owen Sound was clearly the better team after halftime. Like they went down 8-4 and then came back?? that’s actually wild. But then Kawartha somehow finishes it anyway, like typical. Pool play 0-1 means nothing right? they still got Thursday so it’s fine, I guess. Also London Doyle had 4 assists, so she probably did everything.
