After a much needed sleep, we were ready to go for a big game against the Levanger Elite Series team... aka the Norwegian Giants! We maintained a 1 goal lead 2 minutes into the game, before discovering what Elite Series handball really looks like! Size and speed were definitely a factor in our 39-15 loss. Our numerous turnovers and lack of transition really hurt our game plan... as did their 20+ fast break goals! The highlight of the game was Kristen Kitagawa’s two 7m goals! That’s right, an Alberta girl shot 100% on penalty shots... unheard of! Our set defence proved to be strong, backed by our goaltending (which was being scouted by the President of the local club!) The only thing that really seemed to slow Levanger down was when a timeout was taken so that chuncks of Lynsey’s hair could be removed from the hands of their defender. (Lynsey’s still trying to get the stickum out!) After the game we drove to Trondheim and enjoyed a delicious lunch consisting of waffles with sour cream/jam, brown cheese, and smoked salmon. We’re resting up for tomorrow’s games, so make sure to check out the blog to see the results of our doubleheader!
