Current Season Notes

Our Aušra Girls D played hard en route to a 35 - 28 victory over a skilled Atom division Toronto Triple Threat Rep team on May 1st.   Congrats to all girls on both sides for their efforts on defense and to Aušra for mounting a comeback in the final period to pull out the win.    7 of 8 girls put points on the board, notably Justina Melkis (13), Claudia Weise (8), Erika Kisonas (4), Emma Bubulis (4), Olivia Kamaitis, Daniella Sablinskas and Alicia Dauginis (2).    Many thanks to TTT coaches Kate McPherson and Kate N.   

The girls played again May 15th and lost an early 8-4 lead they had at the half, in a hard fought defensive 18-14 rematch.   Justina Melkis scored (6), while Olivia Kamaitis, Daniella Sablinskas, Claudia Weise and Emma Bubulis scored (2).   Thanks again to TTT for coming out and giving us another great game.

 

CONGRATULATIONS to two of our Aušra Girls D guards, Justina Melkis (#10) and Erika Kišonas (#13)!!  Their still undefeated Humbercrest Hawks school team won the City of Toronto TDESSA Western Conference Championship for Grade 6 - Division 1 (large school) by convincingly knocking out a much larger John G. Althouse team 28 - 12 on December 14th at Runnymede C.I..    Humbercrest coach Alvin Kišonas is also the coach of our Ausra Girls D team.

They played valiantly for the City Championship at Ryerson University on December 21st but lost a very close one to a good South Conference champ Balmy Beach P.S. team.    Good luck next year girls!!!

The Girls D team earned a Silver Medal after a loss in a very close championship game at the 2003 ŠALFASS tournament.   A Chicago Lituanica player launched a half-court buzzer-beater that hit nothing but net to break the tie with one second remaining in regulation time!
