Chisago Lakes Girls

Delano/Rockford 3, Chisago Lakes 2 (O.T.)

The Wildcats girls’ hockey team dominated Delano/Rockford on Saturday, November 18 at Chisago Lakes Arena, outshooting them 44-18, but lost 3-2 in overtime.  Aly Vogelsang scored both Wildcat goals, and now has three goals in the Wildcats’ first two games.

Vogelsang got the Wildcats on the board just 19 seconds into the first period, assisted by Ella Perreault and Nora DeVries.  Delano had just two shots in the first period but scored on one of them at the halfway point to tie the score at 1-1.  Vogelsang put the Wildcats back in front with an unassisted power play goal just over 12 minutes into the second period, but Delano answered just 90 seconds later to knot the score at 2-2.  The Wildcats outshot Delano 13-6 in the third period, but couldn’t put one past blazing hot Delano goalie Kayla Simonson – who stopped 42 of 44 shots for the game – and the game headed to overtime.  The Wildcats again put pressure on Simonson, but Kaelyn Wittwer scored for Delano at 5:39 of overtime to hand the Wildcat their second loss of the young season.
