1 Classics repel a late
Raiders rally for win

THE KERMODEI Classics
emerged victorious in women's
hockey action Dec/ 12, but lale
forays by Teddy’s Raiders from
Prince Rupert almost prevailed.

The Classics had wasted no -

lime jumping to a lead, Rosemary
Dilley feeding Val Harlow who
put it away just 19 seconds into
the game.

Tammy Webb doubled the gap
with four minutes left in the first,
Chris Kamlah and Rachel Joseph
petting helpers.

Terrace continued to keep the
pressure on in the second, only an
excellent save by Raider stopper
Janice Johansen preventing them
going three up nearing the mid-
way point.

The Raiders best opportunity of
the frame came a moment later
but Debbie Westwood cooly
closed the door on the sharp angle

The Classics struck back im-

mediately,, Harlow and Dilley -

combining again, Dilley scoring

this time.

Joseph picked up her second as-
sist of the game on the 3-0 goal

od,

HARD WORK; buta lot of fun.
That’s how coach Mike Carlyle

summed up the Novice Mect ©
_ hosted by the Bluebacks.

More than 20 swimmers, in-
cluding five from the Prince
Rupert club, took part in the one
day event ;

Noting most “Bluebacks 9 Wann
in six events; Carlyle ‘added,-

‘*That's a fair amount for some of
the little guys,"

between races, ©
them pretty hard’” =:
But there was little. doubt every-

one there enjoyed themselves, he

said, commending’ all on . the

goodsportsmanship aoe also ,

showed throughout.”

Raiders took on a new lease of
life, producing two solid chances
that tested Westwood.

With Kim Slater off for trip-
ping, the Ruperters then threw up
a defensive wall which limited
the Classics to just two power
play shots.

The Raiders’ skirmishing final-

“ly succeeded with just over four

minutes left in the game.

Westwood got a piece . of
Slater’s shot from the left side,
but the rebound dropped at the
stick of Kirsten Andersen who.
flipped it into the gaping: ‘net to
end the shutout bid. |

. Ninety seconds later, Raider
Cheryl Vanderwicl’s . attempted.
shot was parried by a Classi¢ de-
fender, skying the puck toward
the goal.

Westwood couldn’t snag ihe:
falling puck which dropped be-.
hind her leaving Slater with a
simple conversion to make it 3-2, °

Now fired up, the visitors kept
up the pressure through the final’
two minutes,

The Classics, however, dug in,
controlling the puck enough to.
ensure the Raiders couldn’t pull:
their goalie and running out. the’
clock. .

Keily Prinz, Kathy. Webb, Jill
Smith, Candace Griffith and Lisa’
Smith made up the rest of the vic-
torious Classic roster.
