"We played a complete game today," said JM/Lourdes coach Bob Montrose. "We knew Austin is in a transition stage and wanted to continue to play our game with good puck movement and smart choices all over the ice.
"We had a chance to get all four lines and six defenseman active throughout the game and that was a nice reward for all of the hard work the girls put in. Sophia Hyke played great in goal and showed that although she is a young player she belongs at the high school level. Emma Christensen quietly picked up three assists and continues to play her typical smart and simple game on defense for us."
JM/L is now 4-0 and on first place in the conference and 5-1 overall. Next up is Owatonna on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at the Rec Center.
