Katie Wilson actually scored her first goal of the season the first night of the BC series at Amsoil (She scored the second goal of the game)
I knew that too :) I post with Windows Live Writer, and for some reason couldn't get Blogger to edit after I'd clicked Publish.. the first goal was meant for the Thibault spot below where I did put it. Just figured out you can re-load an entry in Live Writer and edit and publish without duplicating an entry. Thanks!
