April 21, 2007 the Fangs played in their first POWHA playoffs.
They made the trip to Pittsburgh, PA with only 9 players, 1 goalie, 1 coach, and 3 fans (injured players and one playing up).
Game 1 - Fangs vs. Puffins 1-7
The first game was early morning against the Pittsburgh Puffins. The Fangs scored at 4:34 in the 1st. This was Merri Meadows first goal (of the season) with an assist from Julie Goode. The Puffins tied the game up at 1:10 left in the 1st. Heather Gochoel was called for tripping and sat for 2 minutes. The Puffins were able to use the man advantage and scored to make the game 1-2. Shortly after Audrey Choh was called for a questionable penalty that resulted in a penalty shot. The referee blew the play dead because he lost sight of the puck and then said Choh was laying on the puck. The Puffins scored on the penalty shot making the game 1-3. In the 3rd period Julie Goode was involved in a very intense confrontation and received a matching unsportsmanlike penalty. The Fangs tried their best but would not be able to score another goal. Pickett faced 37 shots. The Fangs placed 6th in the Lower Division. The Fangs weren't done yet though, they still had a consolation game to play that evening.
Consolation Game - Fangs vs. Bandits 2-7
The Fangs came out rested and ready to go again. They did not let the fact that the Columbus Bandits bench had a full roster bother them. They were ready to play and that showed when Julia Beebe scored the first goal of the game (her first EVER goal) with an assist from Kim LaPole at 6:14 of the 1st period. The team was fired up, but only 34 seconds later the Bandits would score. The Bandits scored three more times before Audrey Choh came into the zone and scored an unassisted goal to make the game 2-4. During a line change the Fangs were called for too many men on the ice. Gerri Kail experienced the sin bin for the first time when she served the penalty for the bench minor. Again the Fangs fought hard, but lost the game 2-7. Pickett faced 35 shots.
The Fangs enjoyed their first trip to the playoffs and will take everything they learned this season and build on it for the next year.
******The Fangs don't stop practicing or playing!!!! Even though the season is almost over and we won't have structured practices over the summer the Fangs will still be on the ice. The Fangs will participate in at least two tounaments and will be at stick-n-pucks and drop-ins. If you are interested in learning contact us and we will be more than willing to help you learn this awesome game! If you already play and would like to join the team also contact us.
