Lady Dukes open preseason with a win and a tie.
U18 Lady Dukes – Belleville Bearcats, sponsored by WellBusters,  opened the pregame season on Friday night with a game against the Clarington Flames.


After getting the rust of their skates and the pregame jitters out of their system the girls picked up where they left off pre lockdowns and were flying. The Lady Dukes found the back of the net first with a goal by Taylor Adams, assisted by Peyton Armstrong and Mackenzie Tyner. They continued to keep the goals coming in the second period with a beauty tip in by Abby Hicks, assisted by Armstrong and then Makenzi  Jones with the patient deke on the goalie to pull her to the side and back hand it on the open net, assisted by Kaya Brahaney. The Lady Dukes were leading 3-0 going into the final period where they increased the lead when Adams received a sweet long pass from Sierra Wood also assisted by Lilia Brown. The Flames managed to get one back before ending the game with a 4-1 win for the Lady Dukes.
 

Saturday they travelled along the 401 to take on their rivals the Kingston Ice Wolves . The Wolves sniped one first putting the Lady Dukes in the deficit 1-0 after 1. Lady Dukes captain Emily Moore changed the scoring in the second with a pair of goals to put them on top assisted by Wood, Adams and Hailey Putnam. The Ice Wolves answered back with one of their own in the third for a final score of 2-2.

Addy Cochrane and Cassidy Dobson were strong between the pipes for the Lady Dukes. Next exhibition game is Saturday, September 25th at home against Ottawa Lady Sens.  Follow the girls on their Facebook and Instagram pages for game updates.
