OUR U15A RAPIDS WIN GOLD AT BUFFALO OUTDOOR CLASSIC
For the third time this season, the U15A Niagara Rapids are tournament champions, bringing home the gold in Pittsburgh, Notre Dame and now the Buffalo Outdoor Classic. With a second place finish in January's outdoor classic the rapids were champions in 3 of their 6 tournaments entered plus a second place finish.
The Rapids faced off against the Lucan Irish to start the tourney with a 3-3 tie, setting the stage for the eventual finals. The rapids went on to beat the Rochester Americans, Saugerties Fillies and the South Pittsburgh Rebellion.
In the championship final, both teams skated hard and the competition was tough. Exceptional goaltending on both teams, but Brynn Karan was able to fire one top shelf with an assist by Audrey Campbell to put the Rapids ahead and not look back to secure the title with a 1-0 win.
Over the course of the weekend, each and every Rapid contributed to the success and victory. With an outstanding performance, game after game earned Scarlett Groulx the tournament MVP. With this championship the U15a rapids will put 4 major trophies in the rapids collection as one of the most decorated teams.
