BREEZY POINT — Northern Lakes’ Jenna Stoerzinger tallied a goal and an assist for the No. 4 Lightning as they fell 6-3 to the No. 5 Breckenridge/Wahpeton Storm in the Section 6-1A Quarterfinals Thursday, Feb. 9, ending their season.
“I thought we played hard, but not a lot of bounces went our way,” head coach Bryan Boreen said. “We were a little jittery as stakes are high in the playoffs, and I think we let that get the better of us.”
Goalie Rebekah Deemer recorded 23 saves for Northern Lakes. Also scoring for the Lightning were Ava Merta and Natalie Stueven.
“Breckenridge-Wahpeton is a gritty team and they came better prepared and had a bit of a chip on their shoulder as we had beaten them twice already. It's really hard to beat a team three times in a season, and that held true for us,” Boreen said.
The Lightning finish with a record of 9-16 on the season.
