The Norman Wild recorded their first home ice win of the season in The Pas Nov. 7, edging the Winnipeg Avros in a one-goal game to double their season win total and move within one point of the sixth-place Eastman Selects in the Manitoba Female Midget Hockey League standings.
Kali Cummings of Thompson had the game’s only goal in the first 20 minutes and the Wild held the Avros scoreless, with Tori Ellers making 42 saves for her first shutout of the season and the team’s second in its last four games.
It was the league-leading Avros who got the shutout Nov. 6, with Lauren Taraschuk making 18 saves as her team scored once in each period for a 3-0 win. Ainsley Dubowec, with a pair, and Nicole Adamyk were the goal-scorers for Winnipeg, which peppered Thompson’s Shayna Moore with 32 shots in Norman’s net.
The Wild are now 2-10 in league play for four points, while the 2-5-1 Selects have five points. The Wild are back in action Nov. 14-15 when they host the Westman Wildcats for a pair of games in The Pas.
