SPORT SCORES                                                                                              

On Tuesday the Girls Varsity Hockey team took on #18 Cretin-Derham Hall. Defenders Ashley Maskel, Sarah Moran, Kayla Terlide, Laura Beitzel & Amy Tanner would be tasked with keeping the Raiders away from the net. While forwards Lindsey Day, Christine Fries, Courtney Kukowski, Lisa Gorman, Laura Gengler, Emily Snodgrass, Meaghan Brigl, Mackenzie Caughey, Kaitlyn Leininger & Kayla Willer would try to keep the puck in Cetin's end. The Lightning opened the scoring on Courtney Kukowski's first varsity goal in the first period. A key poke check by goalie Alicia Freeman (23 saves) allowed the Lightning to keep the lead going into the second period. The second period saw action at both end of the ice. A penalty late in the period allowed Cretin to score on the power play & tie the game 1-1. Cretin would score another power play goal early in the third to take the lead 2-1, this would prove to be the difference. Eastview would not give up, but could not manage another goal.   Come cheer on the girls as the Lightning take on crosstown rivals Apple Valley Thursday. JV @ 5:15, V @ 7:15. 

 

On Tuesday the Girls JV Hockey team took on Cretin-Derham Hall. For the second game in a row they kept their opponents off the scoreboard, shutting out Cretin 7-0. The defense of Brooke Hill(1G), Allison Schreiner, Taylor Feinhage(1G), Carlie Wagner(1A) and Lindsey Wilharm(2G,1A) allowed Goalie Lindsay Kauchick to get the shutout. Pressure by forwards Amy Hart(1G), Sam Dibble(1G,1A), Sammi Nelson(1A), Kelly Meyer, Sophie DesLauriers(1G,3A) and Amanda Porranto(1A) kept the Cretin team off ballance.
