Dixon Buries Winner To Open Playdowns
The Grand River Midget Mustangs opened up their Provincial Playdowns Monday night. The Stangs loop consists of 6 teams and a double round robin schedule. The first game for Grand River was a road trip to Orangeville to take on the Tigers.
The girls came out buzzing right out of the gate and it paid off quickly. Seven minutes in, Roon stripped a puck off the Orangeville D and was off to the races. Seconds later it was in the back of the net to put the road team up by one. The 1-0 lead remained until a minute left in the second when Dix buried her first of the post season off a sweet feed from Lex. A bad bounce in front of the Stangs goal with 6 minutes left in the game allowed Orangeville to cut the lead to 2-1. The goal against spurred the Mustangs to turn up the pressure as they finished off the game in the Tigers zone to seal the win.
