Other team standouts were goalie Catherine Wellman and senior Emmah Boquette.
At Mason’s Bulldog Battle, Chelsea went 3-1 with wins against Portage Northern, Lake Orion and Holt/East Lansing. The team’s one loss was 4-1 to Grand Blanc. Chelsea senior and captain Marie Ellie was the team’s high scorer. Other goal scorers included: Emmah Boquette, Kaylin Zocharski, Clair Dettling, Melissa Jolly, and Nikki Atchley.
Pam Mercado had an outstanding defensive game against both Holt/East Lansing and Grand Blanc and sophomore goalie Catherine Wellman was outstanding blocking 91 percent of the shots on goal.
The team plays Thursday at home, which is senior night vs. HOTEL (combo of Holt and E. Lansing), and then in the Grand Haven Invitational this weekend.
