Bad Weekend in Quebec - WNT Plays with Fire

After eight games in the Quebec League, with a record of 5-3, the WNT needed to pocket some more wins last weekend to secure their spot in the playoffs. Unfortunately, the WNT returned to Cortland with zero wins, but a few important lessons learned.

The three-game weekend kick-started with a game against Granby, a team the WNT had previously beaten twice. By all predictions, this should have been a win for the WNT, who knew what to expect from the seventh-ranked team: a short court, a small but aggressive goalie, and a fast game. But in spite of this knowledge, the WNT came up empty handed, leaving the court with a devastating 34-19 loss.
