Sharks Lose Finale

Although playing their best game of the week, the Sharks USA team lost the final game in Beijieng.

Originally scheduled to play the Hurricanes, the Sharks were surprized to find a diffferent opponent waiting for them on Wednesday.

The Snow Birds turned out to be a talented opponent with multi national players. The final score of 10-3 was not totally indicative of the play as the Sharks challenged all over the ice and at times controlled play. In the end though, the Snow Birds talent gave them a well deserved win but the Sharks showed very well how girls and a few younger boys can represent their country when challenged at the ineternational level.

Goal scorers for the Sharks were Sam Pratt, Nicole Lue and Kayla Maloney.

Over the course of 3 games the Sharks tied their opponents in goals and held an advantage in shots on net.

Friday night will bring a final opportunity to meet their opponents in a farewell dinner and a conclusion to a tremendous international experience.
