Chisago Lakes 1, Pine City 1 (O.T.)
Pine City Dragon sophomore goalie Sophie Olson played the best game of her career against the high-powered Wildcat offense.  She saw 46 shots and stopped 45 of them, including ten in overtime, as the teams skated to a 1-1 tie Tuesday, January 4 at the Pine City Civic Center.  Wildcat goalie Brianna Ritter also played well, stopping 18 of the 19 shots she faced.

Kayla Bluhm scored a power play goal at 5:25 of the first period, assisted by Laine DeVries and Dani Burgen, to give the Wildcats a 1-0 lead.  There was no more scoring until Pine City’s Jennae Szucs tied the game with an unassisted goal just over two minutes into the third period.  And that was it.  The Dragons held off the Wildcats for the rest of the third period and all eight minutes of overtime.
