Panthers Play On

Regiopolis-Notre Dame Panthers field hockey star Erin Corrigan did her best Al MacInnis impression.
Thanks in part to teammate Marisa Rostek, it worked to perfection.
Like the hard-shooting former NHL defenceman on a power play, Corrigan launched a shot on net at an advantageous moment on Thursday — off a short corner.
Rostek, playing the part of power forward, got her stick on it to tip it home. It turned out to be the winning goal in a 3-1 Regi victory over the Sydenham Golden Eagles in the Kingston Area Secondary Schools Athletic Association final at Tindall Field.
"I know our forwards go right to the net," Corrigan said of her thinking at the critical time. "Count on our forwards."
It was sweet revenge for the Panthers, who lost 3-2 in overtime to the Golden Eagles in last year's KASSAA final.
It looked like Sydenham might have a good chance to win its second straight title after Nicole Wisteard of the Eagles opened the scoring midway through the first half. But Regi coach Caitlin Cerre had other ideas.
"The opposite happened last year," Cerre noted. "We scored first and they came back. I actually would rather be scored on first. It kind of makes you hungry."
The Panthers followed that script, controlling a good chunk of the play in the third straight final between Regi and Sydenham. Meg Dickson tied it before halftime.
"Right after they got one on us, we had the motivation to come back," the Panthers' Holly Harrington said. "That's what Caitlin told us at halftime, we have nothing to lose."
With less than 10 minutes left in the second half, Corrigan and Rostek combined on the winner.
The play off the corner was worked on by the Panthers at a 6:45 a.m. practice on Wednesday, Cerre said.
"It was phenomenal," the coach said. "The girls are so coachable. We practised that for a half-hour (on Wednesday).
Harrington, younger sister of Kingston-born, London Knights star defenceman Scott Harrington, scored on a scramble about three minutes after Rostek's tip to seal it.
All but three of the Panthers involved in last year's heartbreaking loss were back for this game, which doubled as the Eastern Ontario Secondary Schools Athletic Association final.
Therefore, Regi is off to the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations championship next week in Markham.
"I didn't want this to be my last game," said Harrington, who graduates after this school year.
The Golden Eagles had some good chances, but first-year Regi goaltender Shannon McCarthy stood tall.
"I thought we were going to do it," said Eagles co-captain Rebecca Moser, the player of the game for her team. "We almost held it together. They obviously just pulled ahead. But I'm very proud of our season and very proud of all the girls."
