The Benilde St.-Margaret's Red Knights showed why they were the 2nd ranked team in the state tonight.  They dominated the game from start to finish, peppering the T-G net with 63 shots in route to a 9-0 victory.  Just like in their first meeting this season, the Eagles did not have an answer for Kelly Pannek, who had 2 goals and 2 assists on the night.  Red Knight forward Jackie Pieper also had a 4 point night which included a hat trick.  Brittany Fussy tied Missy King for the Totino-Grace all-time school record of 54 saves in a game.

Prior to the game, T-G honored their graduating seniors:  Captain and goaltender Brittany Fussy, Captain and forward Erin Cullen, and forward Shannon McFarlane.  All were thanked for their contributions to the T-G hockey program, as well as to the leadership that they provided to the team this season.  

The team finished with a regular season record of 7-15-3.  The Eagles finished 5th in the North Suburban Conference with a record of 4-7-1.  Captain Erin Cullen was the team leader in points with 22, having 11 goals and 11 assists for the season.  Junior forward Kristen Dellich lead the team in goals this season with 13.  Sophomore defensemen Laura Minkoff lead the team in assists this season with 13.

The section 4A playoffs begin for the #5 seeded Eagles next Saturday at 5:00pm when they take on the #4 seeded Henry Sibley Warriors, with a record of 15-9 at West St. Paul Arena.  The winner of this section playoff game will take on South St. Paul.
