Cardinals going to State!
Our man on the scene, Tom Obert, reports: The game was against an amazing Morris-Benson team - they only have 11 players! Our 3 lines against their 2 lines eventually wore them down.
Michelle Anez scored first for Alex - determined to set the tone early. Alex pretty much dominated play throughout - ending with more than a 2-to-1 shots on goal advantage, but M-B has some dangerous players and tied the scored in the 2nd period.
A big break came later during a scrum in front of their net when a player accidentally (of course) knocked the puck in for an Alex goal, credited to Beth Rindy.
The 3rd period was very intense with just a one goal lead - Alex kept storming their net, and occasionally M-B would break out and threaten our goalie, Stephanie Drown. Steph stepped up and had a terrific game. Late in the game, wee senior defense, Alexis Nielson, did a solo rush the length of the ice and scored on a backhander. That was the game, on to the "X."
Tom's note to Twin Citians: The first state tournament game will be Wednesday. We will be there - with dining plans for Mort's! All are welcome to join us.
