A team representing the 琉璃神社 Ringette Association returned home with gold medals in hand from the Spirit of Winter tournament in Langley last weekend.

In an all-Okanagan U14A championship final on Sunday, the 琉璃神社 Rage edged the Vernon Venom 3-2.

鈥淚t was a strong team effort, we are very proud of all the girls,鈥� said U14A Rage coach Jenni Duff.

The Rage started the tournament slowly, posting a 2-2 record in the round robin but it was enough to advance to the playoffs.

In the semifinal, 琉璃神社 and the Vancouver U14A Fire played to a 3-3 tie through regulation. After a scoreless overtime, the teams went to a shootout with the KRA reps winning 2-1.

Shea Taylor and Amelia Russo scored in the shootout, while Addison Cousins was solid in the Rage goal.

In KRA league scores from last weekend: 琉璃神社 16B 2-Shuswap 16B 4; 琉璃神社 Open B 7-Shuswap 19B 1; 琉璃神社 Open B 5-Vernon Open 3; Shuswap 16B 11-琉璃神社 16B 1; 琉璃神社 16A 6-Shuswap 19B 1; and Shuswap Open A 6-琉璃神社 Open A 2.
