The Lady Jr Rebels U12A team played the ECGH Wings U12A1 team for the championship. They were playing in the U12 Major Division which was the top division and we were in the U12 Mid North Division. However, for the playoffs they were the # 1 seed in our division and we were the # 2 seed. We beat Lexington Bedford 5-1 in the semi-final game to advance into the finals and ECGH beat Charles River U12 4-1 to get to the finals.

Both teams were very aggressive right out of the shoot and we got on the board first. A nice breakout play from behind the net to the left wing Rachael Barry who fed Jenna up the center. Jenna carried the puck into center ice and fed it back to a streaking Rachael who went in for a breakaway and hit the net about half way up on the right side. ECGH scored to tie it about half way into the first, getting it in front with 3 girls jamming at it. Our 2nd goal came with just under 1 minute left in the first when Elisabeth Smith went to bank the puck out of our zone up the right side. Mary Kate Drinkwater won a footrace to their blue line, went in alone and put it in the same spot as Rachael, 2-1. The second period was scoreless and ECGH was really putting the pressure on down our end with several more crashes to the net but Samantha Baturin and our defense did a great job preventing a goal. Four minutes into the 3rd period, Rachael took a nice feed at center ice from Katelynn Arnold and put a wrist shot into the lower corner with the defense right on her. Finally, with just under a minute left, Jenna fed Mary Kate at center ice and her dump in (to make a change) found the empty net, 4-1.

The game was very exciting. The intensity level and aggression on the fore-check and in our defensive zone were what really stood out defensively. Our breakout plays worked well all game and I think we won 75% of the face-offs. Scoring was:

Rachael Barry 2 goals, Mary Kate Drinkwater 2 goals, Jenna Donahue 2 assists, Elisabeth Smith 1 assist, Katelynn Arnold 1 assist
