Close game

Senior Captain #12 Jessica Hunt gets credit for the game winner and the lone goal vs Visisting Brainerd Little Falls. The goal was in the middle of the first period and was on the powerplay. The shots came from Shelby Sauer on the half boards and was deflected off Jessica's skate in front. See the attached video below. She did not kick the puck in but it did glance off her skate. It is also possible that it was also touched by one or two Brainerd players trying to lock. Regardless, the ref called it a goal and had a good look at it. In speaking with the coaches after the game you wished almost that it wasn't the deciding goal but these things do happen. Bemidji had many more chances to score but was unable to build on it as the Brainerd goalie stood tall making 34 saves and Maria Thompson having 17 for the shutout.

Bemidji hosts Moorhead on Tuesday night at Nymore 7pm in the semi-final. Bemidji retains the brown jug after losing it to Moorhead last year at this time but having one win and one tie this year.
