The girls hosted Poyntelle August and made quick work of reaching this year’s tournament final. Starlight took a while to get going, blasting a number of chances high and wide of the goal. However, once the first goal went in, it was one-way traffic for the remainder of the game in which Starlight ran out winners 9-0.
Jessica R. had very little to do in goal, while Marni C., Marlena G., Rebecca B. and Tori F. were rarely troubled at the back. Molly B., Lauren R., Brooke L., Arli M. and Samantha B. kept Poyntelle busy as did the forward line of Erica L., Julia G. and Allison E. A good overall team performance and the girls now face Wayne in the final.

The game ended with a final score of Starlight 3 Equinunk 9. Spencer G., Josh B. and Griffin S. each scored a goal.
Starlight regrouped, talked strategy and prepared for the next test. Starlight was pitted against Westmont, who brought many older players and a heap of size to the table. The first half started well. Starlight had early goals from Noah G. and Owen B. By halftime, the score was tied at 4. The skill of Starlight overtook the stature of Westmont. Starlight outscored Westmont 9 to 3 giving a final score of 13 to 7.

The semifinals put Camp Starlight against their rival Camp Wayne. Griffin S. scored the first goal 2 minutes into the game. Camp Wayne answered with a quick 2 goals. The game went on, but the heat and amount of game proved too much for the boys of Starlight; they were outscored 8-2.
The final game for third place was a rough one. Owen B. and Max S. both scored and Jared B. added an assist. The final score was 10-2. Starlight added to its endurance and perseverance during this tournament. At the end of the day, the team was all smiles and hopeful of avenging their tough loss.
