Despite two of their best offensive performances of the season, the Battlefords Sharks came away empty handed.
In a pair of games at the Battleford Arena over the weekend, the Sharks dropped 5-3 and 7-4 decisions to the Regina Rebels.
鈥淲e played well in both games as we had lot of shots and lots of chances,鈥� Sharks head coach Gary Berggren said.聽
鈥淲e struggled little bit in our defensinve zone in slowing them down, but I thought the effort was there from the girls in both games.鈥�
聽In Saturday鈥檚 5-3 setback, the Sharks held a 3-1 lead in the third period but were unable to stop the Rebels鈥� comeback bid as they took the lead with 50 seconds to go.
鈥淲e just let things get away from us,鈥� Berggren said. 鈥淲e took a couple of bad penalties and they took advantage of their chances.
鈥淚t鈥檚 disappointing that we couldn鈥檛 hold on, as I felt like the girls desrved to win that game.鈥�
Ali Aitken scored a pair of goals for the Sharks, while Keara Amson had a goal and an assist each.
Sunday鈥檚 rematch saw the Rebels jump out to a 3-0 lead after the first period, but the Sharks clawed back to make it a 5-4 contest before the visitors pulled away in the third.
鈥淲e just couldn鈥檛 seem to find a way to get ahead of them,鈥� Berggren said.
鈥淚t wasn鈥檛 for a lack of effort though. We hit a couple of crossbars in the first period and we had a ton of great chances during the rest of the game.鈥�
Ashlee Wolfe had two goals for the hosts, who recieved three-assist performances from Sydney Rowley and Madison Sansom.
Madison Glynn and Brooklyn Rowley also scored in the loss.聽
