Bukit Merah Secondary School, Thursday, February 20, 2014 — CHIJ St. Theresa’s Convent (STC) dug deep to beat Greendale Secondary (GDS) 5–3 in the National B Division Girls Floorball Championship. STC #6 led all scorers with four goals, while Koh En Ting (GDS #34) had a hat-trick to lead her team.
Greendale started off taking a lot of long range shots, which were completely off the mark. St. Theresa’s Convent played a very physical game, body checking the Greendale players at every opportunity. St. Theresa’s Convent broke the deadlock, scoring two consecutive goals to give them a cushion. The Greendale keeper showed good reflexes to make hard saves, but was beaten on two occasions due to a few lapses of concentration.
St. Theresa’s Convent had a power play in the second period, as one Greendale player had to sit out for two minutes. Despite this, Greendale played extremely hard, making up for the mismatch. St. Theresa’s Convent was extremely passive, looking to defend their lead. Greendale made them pay dearly for it, scoring a goal to pull back.
The third period saw St. Theresa’s Convent continuing their physical play, which intimidated some of the Greendale players. With five minutes left, Greendale scored a short-handed goal, pulling them to within one goal. However, St. Theresa’s Convent shut the door on any comeback, scoring with less than a minute left to put the game away for good. They came away with the 5–3 win, netting them their first win of the campaign.
