Solway Sharks Ladies made history on Sunday when they defeated Cardiff Comets 4-3 in the final of the Women’s National Ice Hockey League (WNIHL) Division 2 play-offs to earn promotion to WNIHL Division 1.
Throughout the game, the Comets and the Sharks, who are Scotland’s only team in the Women’s National Ice Hockey League (WNIHL), appeared evenly matched.
Trachtenberg scored in the first period to put the Sharks on the board but the Comets’ Olivia Taylor quickly weaved her way through Solway’s defence to score against Sharks’ unbeaten goaltender Lizzie Meikle.
