The U16 Abbotsford Mariner Girls won their first match at the Canadian National Championships today at Sherewood Park in Alberta.

The girls had a very slow start as they came out a bit nervous and before they knew it they were down by a score of 2-1 at the end of the first half. 

Coach Bill Broadfoot regrouped his troops with a "frank" discussion at halftime and the girls responded by scoring two goals in the first seven minutes of play in the second half to make the score 3-2.   The Mariners didn't take their foot off the pedal and finished the game with a score of 6-2.  All players got playing time and the team came away without any injuries.

The Mariners next game is tomorrow morning at 11:00 AM vs Prince Edward Island then they move onto play the 3rd ranked Alberta on Friday afternoon at 3:00 PM.
