Northville Mustangs

The Northville Mustangs achieved the first item on their playoffs to do list when they beat the Port Huron Rebels 4-0. These two teams have played each other twice this year, once to a 1-1 tie and then just last Saturday when Northville won 5-1. Tonight, the Mustangs were back and ready to play. Amy Cauzillo scored the first goal off of a deke on the Rebel goalie putting the Mustangs up 1-0. The second goal didnt come until the second period. Sam Pope was in front of the net trying to get untangled from a Port Huron girl, Cauzillo passed her the puck and Pope managed to get the puck in the back of the net. Just two minutes later Andrea Soloko made the exact same move Cauzillo made scoring the third goal of the night. The difference between the two goals? Soloko's was shorthanded being that Pope was in the penalty box for roughing. The final goal of the game came with just three minutes left to go. Cauzillo fired a hard shot at the goalie, and everyone thought that she had saved it. It turned out the puck was loose behind the boards. Krysten Ruzylo was the first to notice and she passed it to Claire Eley at the front of the net who put it in the back of the net. Both teams played a great game. The Mustangs now face Plymouth Canton Salem on Wednesday at 7:45 PM. Good luck girls!
