The 2022 lacrosse season got off to a good start as The Sweet Oven U19 Orillia Lady Kings women’s lacrosse team travelled to RIM Park in Waterloo and faced a pair of foes to start the season.

The Newmarket Redbirds would be the ladies first opponent and they would record a 9-5 victory. Emma Torkoff and Amelia Obee would pace the offence with four-goal and three-goal efforts respectfully. Single markers from Brooklynn Barker and Riley Marwick would also contribute to goaltender Kayleigh Aitken earning her first win of the season. Midfielder, Elle Waite, and defender, Emma Marwick, made huge contributions with their ground ball game and transitions through the midfield.

Game two would pit the Lady Kings against the Halton Hills Bulldogs and Orillia would dominate play in the first half, storming out to a 7-0 lead and an eventual 12-3 win. Again, Torkoff would add four goals in the game however, coaches Kelsi Pritchard and Paige Stachura were pleased with the team's efforts in spreading out the offence as Kristie Fisher with a pair, Isabella Cerpnjak, Ryin Davidson, Olivia Glass, Riley Marwick, Amelia Obee, Brooklyn Barker would all add single markers. Although the score may seem lopsided, defender Avery Paek produced multiple turnovers in the defensive end, while goaltender Kayleigh Aitken stood strong in net and made key saves throughout the match.

The Sweet Oven Lady Kings next see action when they travel to Owen Sound next weekend and will face off against perennial powerhouse Oshawa Lady Blue Knights and Mimico Mountaineers.
