The Salukis Field Hockey team has started its season with a win, loss and tie.  The team lost their opening game against St. Annes on September 17 by a score of 3-1.  The team learned a lot against this more experienced team, and was ready to take on their next opponent, Listowel, on September 24.  The team controlled the Lightening, and had many scoring opportunities.  Kelsey Robinson scored the lone marker for the Salukies, while Richelle Forrester had a pair of goals called back.  The game ended in a 1-1 tie.The team gained their first victory of the season Wednesday September 26 in Listowel playing against Mitchell.  Although the skies looked gloomy, the weather was perfect for field hockey.  The team came out strong in the first half, dominating play.  A goal by Rachel Weber stood up as the winner in a 1-0 victory.  Ashley Hibbert played a strong game in net, supported by the defensive unit of Alissa Fraser, Krysten Cardiff, Lauren Thomson and Lindsay Cubberley.  The team plays their only home game of the season on Monday afternoon at 4:30pm.  Come on out to cheer on your Salukis!
