Shuswap Sharp Shooters Novice Ringette team maintained their spot at the top of the standings on Sunday, as they defeated Westside on the road by a score of 9-3.
Cadence Petitclerc-Crosby opened the scoring for the Sharp Shooters, just three minutes into the game and her first of three on the night.
Natasha Kociuba ripped a shot past the Westside goaltender just 45 seconds later to put the hometown Shuswap girls up 2-0.
Mackenzie Mount rippled the mesh to put the Sharp Shooters up by three, three minutes later, before Westside got on the board with a single of their own.
The teams would trade goals late in the first period, Ryann Decker sliding one in for the Shooters, and Brianna Howard would put one in late in the frame to carry Shuswap into the first intermission up by a score of 5-2.
The second period continued much the same as the first, with the visiting Sharp Shooters dominating play at both ends of the rink.
Maintaining positioning, with the centres cycling the defence so as not to go four-in and superior passing was a thing of beauty to behold.
Petitclerc-Crosby would get the first and second of the final frame to round out the hat trick and Sequoia Robinson and Katelyn Chapman would finish things off for the Sharp Shooters.
Shuswap welcomes the same Westside team to the Shaw Centre this Sunday, Jan. 26
