High flying Streatham Storm ran out 10-6 winners over the Penguins tonight but our girls certainly gave the home side a scare by taking the lead three times in the early exchanges.
A go-ahead goal from Leah De Mar and a brace from Georgia Whittemore saw Penguins lead the storm 2-3 going into the first break but three goals in the first 97 seconds of the middle period turned the game in Storms favour. Goals from Sharon Khan and Leah De Mar gave the girls a slim hope at 7-5 at the second break but their failure to take advantage of a 5 minute powerplay at 47:22 set up storm to ease away 10-6 despite a late marker from Sharon Khan.
The result sees Penguins drop to 5th in the Division One South table but they’ll be looking for a boost next Sunday when they host bottom side Cardiff Comets at Bretton, face-off 6:15pm.
