OFSAA Field Hockey Championships -- Day One.
Powerhouse Notre Dame of Burlington chased the Regiopolis Notre Dame out of this weekend's provincial high shool field hockey championships with a 3-0 quarter-final victory. The Panthers (1-2-1) advanced out of the preliminary round only to meet the defending champion in the first round of playoffs at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations tournament in St. Catherines. "Notre Dame's a very good team, strong team and we held them scoreless for more than half the game," said Panther Rachel Cerre, who potted both goals in th team's only other loss, 3-2 to Missisauga's Lorne Park on Friday. "Notre-Dame should have scored earlier on, but Liz Priestley made a lot of big saves for us." Priestly, the Panther's goalie, recorded two shutouts in the tournament, an opening-day scoreless duel with Agincourt and a 2-0 victory over St. Jean de Brebeuf. Ashley Gollogly and Bridget Cerre tallied for Regi in that game.

The oldest tradition in high school girls field hockey is that of Sydenham and La Salle passing the local championship back and forth.
They are the only two names engraved on the EOSSA and Kingston Area Secondary Schools Association championship trophies, and usually they play each other in the final. The Regiopolis Notre Dame Panthers wrote a new script this year, beating the Kingston Blues 2-0 in the championship match on their own field yesterday afternoon.
The Panthers scored on a first-half deflection and although the Blues held the edge in play in the second half and had several good chances, a long pass and a breakaway late in the second period gave Regi an insurmountable lead.
Chanting "We're going to OFSAA!" the Panthers, who finished the season 7-0, accepted the eastern Ontario championship trophy. The provincial championships will take place in St. Catharines starting Thursday.
"It's great for both teams to be here," said Mary Elaine Carty, one of the Panthers' coaches, on the two new schools in the county championship. Fellow coach Caitlin Cerre said Regi had an experienced team that had played together for years. It has been seven years since the school made an appearance in the final but she said this year's edition had everything it needed.
"There's so much talent all around this team, and everybody really clicked this year," she said.
Regi won't be going into the provincial finals blind. The Panthers played many of the best teams in the province, several of whom will also be competing at OFSAA, in a tournament in Toronto earlier this season, and the team did well there, Cerre said.
Regi went ahead in the first half on a goal that was awarded to Ashley Gollogly, who took a pass from Danielle Greene and put it into the Blues net thanks to a deflection.
The Blues played strongly in the second half and spent most of it in the Panthers' end, but goalkeeper Liz Priestly made several fine stops, including a kick save on a long shot from midfield.
A twin effort put Regi up by two and knocked the Blues out of the game. Bridget Cerre fired a long pass up the middle of the field that was scooped up by her sister, Rachel, who broke past the Blues defenders and finished the breakaway with a clean shot into the net.

In Regi and Frontenac's Field Hockey semi-final match at RND yesterday, the girls upset the Falcons' Cinderella story by playing the roll of the evil step-sisters. Beating them 4-0, the Panthers won their six-straight game, sending them to the Kingston Association championship tomorrow. Joining them will be the Kingston Collegiate Blues, who made it to this final game last year. 3-0 was the score of the game after a very strong first half. Rachel Cerre scored twice and Candice Smith finished with a single. In the second half, Laural Niedbala added the last of the four goals, while Liz Priestly counted her fifth shut-out of their season. They have proved themselves strong both offensively and defensively. They have much to be proud of. Regi opened this year's season by playing KC, winning 4-0. Their ability to perform under pressure will be tested tomorrow, Friday, October 25th at Regi. Everyone is encouraged and welcome to attend the Field Hockey championship against the Blues. This game determines who moves onto OFSAA. Good Luck, ladies! For The Whig's story, click

On Tuesday, Regi and Holy Cross' Cathy Joyce Memorial Field Hockey game took place at Holy Cross. In the first half, Bridget Cerre managed to get the ball past Holy Cross' goalie, allowing Regi to take an important 1-0 lead. The girls fought hard to hold their place. This goal, the only one of the game, gave the Panthers their well-rewarded victory in honour of Cathy Joyce. For finishing first place in the league, Regi's Field Hockey team received a bye to the semifinal round. You'll be able to cheer on Regi's unstoppable team when they play the unpredictable Frontenac Falcons. The game will be held on Wednesday, October 23rd on Regi's home turf. It will most likely be the next step to OFSAA!
KASSAA Record 6-0

Yesterday in Panther Fieldhockey, the girls disappointed Bayridge with a shattering tally of 4-0. At the half, Regi was ahead by one. The only goal scored was by the combined effort of Danielle Greene who assisted and Monica Pereira who put it in. In the second half they secured their lead with three more goals.

Victory Over Defending KASSAA Champs

Out in Sydenham the RND Field Hockey squad triumphed in a high scoring affair over the defending KASSAA champion Golden Eagles. Rachel Cerrie's three goals sparked the Panthers to a 5-3 victory. It was the first defeat in more than a year for the Golden Eagles, who were unbeaten en route to last year's championship. Danielle Greene and Jen Boulianne added goals for the Panthers, who were up 3-1 at the half. You can read about the Panthers scoring outburst in the Whig at:
