We are the State Hockey Champions!

Alex 2, Breck 1

The darlings of this blog, the Alexandria Cardinal Girls Hockey Team took it all today, winning the Minnesota State High School Girls Hockey Championship. This is the first time they've taken it all, they have appeared in the tournament numerous times.

Our man on the job, Tom Obert, has faithfully reported the comings and goings and even managed a few photos.

Perhaps overcome by this momentous event, nothing has yet been heard from the Cub Reporter, although we expect copious commentary soon.

Standby, Alexandria Boomer Bloggers!

Here's the Startribune report:

Senior goalie Danielle Justice made 30 saves as Alexandria beat Breck 2-1 for the Minnesota Class 1A girls' hockey championship Saturday.
The Cardinals were outshot 31-13, but Justice gave up only one goal late in the third period as Alexandria hung on for the win.
The game capped a remarkable state tournament for Justice, who made 40 saves in the Cardinals' 2-1 semifinal win. A finalist for the Minnesota Senior Goalie Award, she allowed less than one goal per game this season and had a .960 save percentage.
Alexandria scored both of their goals in the second period, even though Breck had twice as many shots in the period (14).
The first came on a top-shelf wrist shot from Kathryn Del Zoppo.
The deciding goal came on a flukier play. Alexandria's Michelle Anez was bringing the puck to the net when a Breck defender made a diving poke check and the puck slid between Mustang goalie Courtney Nygard's legs.
Breck is one of the higher scoring teams in the tournament, averaging 4.8 goals per game coming in and scored a state tournament-record 12 goals in the semifinal.
It is the first state title for Alexandria, which was playing in its fifth straight state tournament.

Personal comment from John Herdan
I only got to watch parts of the championship game but my observation is
this: "Nothing else matters without Danielle Justice. What a clutch goalie. She is by far the "Most Valuable" "Most Valuable Player" I have ever watched. Wow!!!!!!!!"
