Spoilers Do Gain 1 Point

The Spoilers lost in a Shootout to the currently 3rd place defending State Champions Fargo North Spartans.

Jade Miller started the scoring, poking home a goal at the 8:35 mark on an assist from Peter Hills. FNH would respond with 3:34 left in the period, as a shot from the blue line was tipped by a Spoiler stick and found its way into the net. The Spoilers outshot the Spartans 11-4 in the 1st period.

However, FNH would take control of the game in periods 2, 3, and OT. (Despite not scoring) FNH would dominate play, including out shooting the Spoilers 12-3 in the 2nd, 14-6 in the 3rd, and 6-2 in OT.

In the Shootout, FNH chose to shoot first, and cashed in. First SPoiler shooter, Levi Cudmore, was denied. FNH scored on their 2nd shot, and Jade was denied to give FNH the 1 point.

The Spoilers will now work to find a way not to get outworked over 51+ minutes of a hockey game, with some more intense practices and conditioning, as we are just 3 weeks away from Conference Tournament time!
