Stars finish second in league playoffs, fall in shootout to Lakeshore

The Southpoint Stars U22 local league hockey team wrapped up their season on April 7, dropping a hard-fought 2-1 shootout decision to Lakeshore Blue.

The loss positioned them as runners-up in the Tier 2 division.

After a scoreless first period, the Stars got on the board in the second on a beautiful top-shelf goal by Adrian Gualtieri, but Lakeshore answered back to tie the game about five minutes later.

The third period was a back-and-forth affair with no goals being scored, as Southpoint’s Shelby Wiebe held strong in the net.

After a three-on-three, five-minute overtime period, the game went to a shootout, where Lakeshore was able to get one past Wiebe for the win.
