Midget A Queens take silver in North Bay

The Thunder Bay Norcan Tours and Travel midget A Queens ran out of gas in their bid for a gold medal after rallying from a three goal deficit.

The Thunder Bay Norcan Tours and Travel midget A Queens ran out of gas in their bid for a gold medal after rallying from a three goal deficit.

Jenna Byrne scored the tournament-winning goal to boost the Nepean Wildcats to a 4-3 win over the Queens in the OK Tire Blue Sky Classic in North Bay on Sunday.

Nepean led 2-0 after the first period as Lindsay Walsh and Shona Bialik got the Wildcats on the board.

Walsh scored her second of the game in the next period to up the Nepean lead to three.

Thunder Bay began to rally before the frame was out when Jordyn Paris broke the shutout bid.

Paris struck again in the early stages of the third to cut the lead to one, and Kristen Martin found the equalizer with just under eight minutes remaining.

That deadlock was short-lived as Byrne had the deciding goal just 31 seconds later.

The Queens close the tournament with a 3-1-1 mark.
