[4:37] right?
[4:38] >> Yeah.
[6:33] your team of Cougar.
[7:22] Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
[7:26] homes
[7:27] hockey
[7:29] tonight
[7:47] will be asked to leave.

[9:26] inside Centennial Sports Arena. where
[9:28] tonight fresh off a second straight
[9:30] victory over Holy Family, Centennial
[9:32] Spring Lake Park looks to defend its
[9:34] spot as the top team in class 2A when it
[9:36] welcomes 15th ranked and over to town
[9:39] for an old-fashioned NWSC showdown. Good
[9:42] evening everyone. I'm Bill Hub here in
[9:44] Circle Pines for what should be a really
[9:47] good game between two ranked teams.
[9:49] Nobody hotter in the state right now
[9:51] than the Cougars of Centennial Spring
[9:53] Lake Park. They haven't won or haven't
[9:56] lost I should say in the last seven
[9:58] games. Two of those wins have come over
[10:00] the top previous top number one Holy
[10:02] Family. They're averaging nearly six
[10:04] goals a game and they've allowed just 10
[10:07] goals defensively. So they are rounding
[10:10] into form at the perfect time as we
[10:13] enter postseason play on the horizon.
[10:16] And they're led by Josie Kelzenberg, the
[10:19] freshman forward. not the most heralded
[10:22] of players, but she has scored 10 of her
[10:24] past 15 goals in the last five games,
[10:26] including a pair of hat-ticks um over a
[10:30] team over a couple teams, including
[10:32] Blaine, recently here at home. So,
[10:35] Kelzenberg chipping in offensively. It's
[10:38] a deep team. It's a loaded team
[10:39] offensively and they'll have to contend
[10:42] with an Andover team that they've gotten
[10:44] to know quite well recently. Julia
[10:46] Gertis leads them. the junior forward
[10:48] and alternate captain has scored in five
[10:51] of her last six games. She leads Andover
[10:54] in both goals and assists this season.
[10:57] Not an Andover team that scores a whole
[11:00] ton, but Gertis is certainly the one
[11:03] that makes them go offensively. So, it
[11:05] should be a good one in the Northwest
[11:07] Suburban Conference. And we'll have Puck
[11:08] Drop for you straight ahead here on
[11:10] North Metro TV.
[11:17] For decades, I've taught you everything
[11:20] I know,
[11:24] >> how to safely build a fire,
[11:28] >> and how to control the flames.
[11:33] But I can only teach wildfire
[11:36] prevention.
[11:38] Only you can prevent wildfires.
[12:00] Your number one ranked Centennial Spring
[12:03] Lake Park Cougars take the ice ahead of
[12:05] their home clash here against the
[12:08] Andover Huskies. game in Northwest
[12:10] Suburban Conference play. Second to last
[12:13] conference game of the season as we take
[12:14] a look at the class doubleA girls hockey
[12:17] rankings and they're at the top the
[12:19] Cougars 182 and one after consecutive
[12:22] victories over Holy Family. They're
[12:23] still going to play Hill Murray and
[12:26] Minnotonka both here at home in two of
[12:29] their last three games before they gear
[12:32] up for the playoffs.
[12:35] And uh they they've played all the good
[12:37] teams. They've played Edina, Hill
[12:39] Murray, Minnetonka, Holy Family. They
[12:42] have tested themselves and uh [music]
[12:44] very likely to face a team like Maple
[12:46] Grove ranked number nine in the section
[12:50] final. A lot of hockey to still to play
[12:52] before we get there. Goalenders tonight
[12:55] for Andover. It'll be Clarbel Hills in
[12:58] the Nets. Senior goalie goalie. Seven
[13:01] and N2 record with a 237 goals against
[13:05] average. number 31 there. 910 save
[13:09] percentage or 918 save percentage I
[13:11] should say and one shut out for the
[13:13] alternate captain. And meanwhile Kaand
[13:17] the junior goalend to the transfer from
[13:19] Lakeville North a couple years ago 132
[13:21] and one
[13:23] fantastic goals against average 1.47 a
[13:26] couple shutouts and 935 save percentage
[13:29] as the Cougars win the opening draw and
[13:30] we're underway. They're in the red and
[13:32] white and over in the black and gold
[13:35] heading left to right.
[13:38] [screaming] Turned over at the blue line
[13:40] and Avery Wagner takes it back. Second
[13:42] line starting out there tonight for
[13:44] Centennial SLP who is without Elena
[13:46] Ganettes. Ganettes five goals and three
[13:49] assists in helping Team USA go 6 and0 at
[13:54] the USA U8 world juniors and win a gold
[13:57] medal. She landed
[14:00] at the airport uh a little while ago, so
[14:03] obviously not suiting up tonight, but
[14:05] they hope to back have her back for the
[14:07] next game. And obviously, it hasn't hurt
[14:09] them. They've won seven in a row since
[14:13] losing on December 20th to Holy Family 3
[14:16] to2. Again, they've lost to Holy Family
[14:19] twice and they drew against and tied
[14:22] Minnetonka. And those are the only
[14:25] non-wins they've had this season. and
[14:26] everything else has been a victory for
[14:29] this CSLP team. Battle for it in the
[14:32] Cougar zone. They played this Andover
[14:35] team on December 29th. We'll tell you
[14:38] more about that game as we go along.
[14:42] Along the end boards, it's picked up.
[14:45] Pass ahead. Intercepted.
[14:49] Each team kind of trying to control it
[14:51] in the neutral zone, but finally Gertis,
[14:53] Julia Gertis throws a shot on net. It's
[14:56] loose in the slot. Another shot. Doesn't
[14:58] get all the way through to Wyland.
[15:01] Centering pass intercepted there by
[15:03] Mattie Walter.
[15:05] Centennial SLP struggling to clear their
[15:07] zone right now.
[15:09] They ring it around. Annabelle Buchoney
[15:11] picks it up.
[15:13] Pass ahead intercepted at center ice by
[15:16] Taylor Shriles. The sacred heart commit.
[15:18] She flips it back in and now it's
[15:20] carried on out. Walter as Centennial SLP
[15:23] in the midst of a change.
[15:27] banked up. They try to hold the zone.
[15:29] Katie Bell goes down. The hand stays
[15:32] down and
[15:35] >> ball rather Katie Ball trying to keep it
[15:37] in the zone as it's flipped in cross
[15:39] corner for them to give chase. Now
[15:41] Centennial SLP can get on the four
[15:43] check.
[15:46] Puck slides all the way back down to the
[15:48] other end and icing on Andover is called
[15:51] two minutes into this first period here
[15:54] in Circle Pines. Scoreless between
[15:56] Andover and Centennial Spring Lake Park
[15:58] here on North Metro TV.
[16:01] Bill Hop flying solo with you tonight.
[16:07] Mia Such, sophomore forward, moves in to
[16:11] take the face
[16:14] against Tegan Olsen, her former
[16:16] teammate. Draw one by Centennial SLP.
[16:20] Flipped off the end boards by Grace
[16:22] Logger,
[16:24] held momentarily by Mattie Yulan.
[16:28] And one of the believe that was Olsen
[16:30] who lost an edge at center ice.
[16:34] Each team just trying to settle down and
[16:36] settle into this game.
[16:39] Logger goes cross ice for ball at the
[16:42] line.
[16:44] Banked up ahead looking for such but and
[16:46] over controls.
[16:51] Able to get into the zone here with
[16:52] Audrey Lind. Her shot goes wide.
[17:01] swept across corner but iced by Mia as
[17:03] such. Not a bad play as that uh gets
[17:07] fresh lines out there for both teams.
[17:09] The faceoff will come back down in the
[17:11] Centennial Spring Lake Park end.
[17:17] And over with the only shot of the game
[17:19] so far
[17:21] as Josie Kelzenberg will take the face.
[17:28] Handover wins it back to the point. Shot
[17:30] through traffic. Wyland makes the save.
[17:37] Worked up the wall back to the point and
[17:39] then stolen by Avery Wagner. Threeon two
[17:42] for Centennial SLP if they hustle.
[17:44] Wagner snaps off a shot. Doesn't reach
[17:46] the net.
[17:49] Puck loose behind the Andover net.
[17:51] Kelzenberg trying to center but can't.
[17:53] Finally, it's taken by Mattie or Molly
[17:56] Kluff, her sister and brother. Both wore
[17:59] Huskies jerseys before. Annabelle
[18:01] Buchaoneyi
[18:03] dangling has it stolen by Gertis. Gurtis
[18:06] on the backhand shot. Good save.
[18:09] Love save made held on to by Ka Wland.
[18:14] Started at Lakeville North
[18:17] as an eighth grader and then transferred
[18:19] and has started the last two years in
[18:21] her third season. make that her second
[18:23] season I believe for CSLP as she started
[18:27] as a freshman. There you see Melissa Vul
[18:30] providing some instruction to her
[18:32] alternate captain Julia Gertis who we
[18:34] highlighted in the open. Definitely the
[18:36] best throw scoring threat for this
[18:39] Andover team. They fling it in deep. You
[18:42] know Andover's got a little bit of
[18:46] spark here as that shot whistles high.
[18:48] caught on the end boards.
[18:53] Both teams kicking at it
[19:00] with Yuland in there.
[19:03] Finally tipped out. Cleared but not out.
[19:05] They get a fortuitous bounce as that was
[19:08] thrown on the net by Shriles and Mattie
[19:10] Walter speeding down the left wing. She
[19:12] gains the line. Pass across
[19:15] >> tries to find its way to the stick of
[19:16] Ella Perau.
[19:19] come down and play it here. Number 23,
[19:21] Lillian Renslo
[19:24] back up the wall with it. Now worked
[19:26] middle
[19:27] shifted back toward the wall. Gloved
[19:29] down. Back out to Bucha from the point.
[19:32] She'll throw it in front. She had Reno
[19:35] there as a screen,
[19:37] but Andover able to clear it back out to
[19:39] center. Back in come the Cougars as
[19:42] Centennial SLP tries to change on the
[19:44] fly. And a smart shot that's ultimately
[19:47] gloved and held on to by Hills.
[19:53] Good shot there by Stella Kramer.
[20:06] >> Off the draw and over behind its own
[20:08] net.
[20:13] somehow able to force it out of the
[20:14] zone. Grace Logger now collects and
[20:18] spins back into her own end. Such throws
[20:21] it towards Hills who looks up and
[20:24] decides to take the whistle.
[20:32] DJ just cycling through all the hits
[20:34] here in Circle Pines.
[20:43] Such against McKenzie Evans at the dot.
[20:45] Logger
[20:48] >> brings it around looking for ball back
[20:49] to Logger. Tries to throw it on Nick and
[20:52] it hits a handover Husky and is cleared.
[20:54] Yulan banks it back in. [cheering]
[20:58] Cougars back on the forche
[21:01] up ahead to Audrey Lind. She's able to
[21:03] carry it out. Not pretty, but they get
[21:06] the job done as Alexis Wagner brings it
[21:08] in.
[21:09] immediately stolen back. Now a potential
[21:13] twoon-one if they hustle ball
[21:16] knocked off the puck there by number 22
[21:18] Tegan Olsen and Andover Ices the puck.
[21:21] So the faceoff will once again take
[21:24] place in the Huskies zone.
[21:30] You take a look at uh the defense there.
[21:33] Well played by Tegan Olsson. And like we
[21:35] said, she played her freshman year in a
[21:37] CSLP sweater, but then transferred and
[21:40] now is starting tonight for the Andover
[21:44] Huskies. Off the draw,
[21:48] Centennial SLP cycles the puck,
[21:50] centering pass only as far as Julia
[21:53] Gertis, who wheels back in her own zone.
[21:57] Patient with the puck.
[22:01] Huskies slipping a little bit as there's
[22:03] a board battle right in front of the and
[22:05] over end.
[22:07] Hills
[22:09] comes out
[22:12] and leaves it. They ring it around.
[22:13] Baone giving chase. Piper Andrews the
[22:16] captain
[22:19] tailing her. Brook Yulan loses an edge.
[22:23] Wagner pass just out of the reach of
[22:26] Katherine Janeia.
[22:28] And so that icing means we'll have a
[22:32] faceoff down to the left of Ka Wland.
[22:43] Three games left in the regular season
[22:45] after this one. Minnotonka at Anoka and
[22:48] Hill Murray. So, two really hard
[22:51] non-conference home games and a road
[22:54] conference game as they try to finish a
[22:56] perfect 10-0 in Northwest suburban
[22:59] conference play. As you take a look at
[23:01] Shawn Molen,
[23:03] built one of the dynastic programs in
[23:07] classa in the state of Minnesota.
[23:10] Elena's her sister still plays for
[23:13] Woodbury who is undefeated, but Elena
[23:15] decided to transfer in for her senior
[23:18] season.
[23:19] And the UMD commit has fit right in. 42
[23:23] points, second on the team and leads
[23:26] them in goals as well.
[23:29] Instant impact for player who should be
[23:32] a Miss Hockey finalist.
[23:36] Walter
[23:37] flips it into the corner.
[23:40] Olsen
[23:42] >> banks it out of the zone. No one at the
[23:44] point to control, so Kramer picks it up
[23:46] at her line.
[23:49] goes rink wide with it.
[23:51] >> Now a chance here as Mattie Walter moves
[23:54] middle. Walter between the rings. Good
[23:56] for good backing. Centering pass hits a
[23:59] Husky out front.
[24:02] Now carried on out with speed by number
[24:04] nine Olivia Larson. Larson decides to
[24:06] throw one on net. That was always going
[24:08] wide.
[24:10] Backhand it in reverse directions to
[24:12] Buchoney who lifts it out. Glove down at
[24:15] the line. Renfro batting at it.
[24:21] Cougs decide to change on the fly as
[24:23] that's back banked in the zone.
[24:28] Got a lucky bounce for Andover. That
[24:29] could have been dangerous.
[24:31] Such up ahead to Logger. Backhanded back
[24:34] to Such. Now Logger takes it on the back
[24:37] hand. Hounded by a pair of Huskies.
[24:40] Alexis Wagner among them. Shot from the
[24:42] point. Loose in front.
[24:45] I think Hills made the save. Ref throws
[24:47] it on net and it only gets trifles.
[24:54] Huskies in the midst of a change.
[24:59] Logger stick handling. [cheering] The
[25:02] Boston College commit loses it in the
[25:04] neutral zone. Here come the Husky. Shot
[25:06] from above the point. Not much on it.
[25:09] Logger retrieves in the left wing. Took
[25:12] a bump from Gertis.
[25:14] Now taken back. Here comes Mia Such. Two
[25:17] on two for Centennial SLP.
[25:20] Such feeds out in front trying to hit
[25:22] Katie Ball and she fan on the shot.
[25:30] Such has such has an interesting way of
[25:33] skating. She's so bent forward at the
[25:36] waist.
[25:38] as uh helps her, I think, get better
[25:41] lean
[25:42] and maybe generate more speed. Avery
[25:45] Wagner tries to split a pair of handover
[25:47] defenders. Backhanded along by Alexa
[25:50] Dorstad, one of the Blue Line starters
[25:52] tonight. Oh, good find up ahead for
[25:54] Piper Andrews. Andrews trying to get
[25:57] past the defender, can't.
[26:01] The hands stay down, so we play on.
[26:09] Action fast and furious here. Shots
[26:11] three apiece. Still scoreless as the
[26:15] play has gone offside.
[26:17] Allows everyone to catch their breath
[26:19] here with 733 to go. First period.
[26:26] Faceoff will come back down in the
[26:28] Andover end.
[26:36] with Walter
[26:39] moving in for the dot duel.
[26:42] Olsen
[26:43] rings it around. Ref comes down
[26:45] underneath her stick. Larson trying to
[26:48] get there first. Good play by Brook
[26:50] Muand to beat her to the spot.
[26:55] Intercepted at center ice.
[26:58] Olsen
[27:00] or rather that's Molly Kluff. Kluff
[27:03] gains the zone. Klough moving middle.
[27:05] Shoots. Not much on the shot and it slid
[27:07] by the left post.
[27:12] Centering pass. There's a shot. There's
[27:13] a good pad save. Wy
[27:17] into the butterfly to make that stop.
[27:24] Enslow tips it along but again overturns
[27:26] it back and we've got a first penalty. A
[27:29] trip coming up here. Lily Rolller.
[27:34] Roll for the guilty party
[27:44] as she took down Maddie Walter trying to
[27:47] get by her.
[27:53] That penalty coming at 10:14
[27:56] of the opening period.
[27:59] >> Logger above the left circle.
[28:10] for Logger above the left circle. Her
[28:12] shot driven down and Julia Gurtis
[28:15] skating away. Julia Gertis with a
[28:17] potential breakaway, but Annabelle
[28:19] Vuchaone comes back. There's a shot
[28:21] deflected up and out of play. Great
[28:24] hustle by Annabelle Buchaone
[28:27] from the other point. The speedy skate
[28:30] skater came back and got in the way as
[28:34] you see her hustling
[28:38] to deflect and ultimately Gertis turned
[28:40] away and then did a nice job finding a
[28:42] cutter. Believe she found Iceland Larson
[28:48] but ultimately it was to no avail.
[28:54] Power play numbers and over pretty good
[28:57] numbers. Penalty kill 90 12%. Centennial
[29:00] SLP nearly 25% on the power play.
[29:12] Walter misses out. Yuland
[29:16] or rather Ella Perau with a stick loose
[29:18] on the ice.
[29:21] Slid across. There's a shot and they No,
[29:24] wait. No, they say no goal. The crowd
[29:27] reacted. Josie Kelzenberg thought she
[29:29] had one.
[29:31] Ref was right there. Waved it off.
[29:34] So we play on with 44 seconds left on
[29:37] the Tripping Miner. Perau
[29:40] passes for Rensow. Tips it to the corner
[29:43] and they'll get set back up on the power
[29:46] play, but that goes out of the zone. So
[29:48] now they've got to touch up. Kelzenberg
[29:51] will sweep it around for Walter to get.
[29:55] Walter off the check from Kluff.
[29:58] Has to pitchfork it along. Perau digs it
[30:01] off the wall.
[30:04] Good recovery by Larson.
[30:07] Centennial unable to keep hold the zone
[30:09] and they've got to
[30:12] touch up. Finally flip back in. A really
[30:14] disjointed power play this one for CSLP
[30:18] and Andover will successfully kill off
[30:20] the first penalty of the game.
[30:24] Molly Kluff backhands it in and gives
[30:27] chase.
[30:28] Ball gets there first.
[30:35] >> Skating away from the pressure of Aubrey
[30:37] Kelly.
[30:44] ball. Wheels away from Kelly
[30:48] and has her pass intercepted.
[30:51] >> Still scoreless here as we get to the
[30:54] latter part of the first period. They go
[30:56] corner to corner. Run around for Logger.
[30:59] She drops it nicely. Twoon one for the
[31:01] Cougars. Mia Such winds fires and a good
[31:04] save by Hills. Loose in front. Walter
[31:07] digging at it. She goes down. Clarabella
[31:11] Hills covers the puck and gets the
[31:14] whistle.
[31:17] Such could have pass across, but she
[31:19] decided to take it herself. for that
[31:20] rising shot. Handled comfortably by
[31:22] Hills,
[31:35] Kelzenberg,
[31:37] Josie. I should specify here as Josie
[31:40] and Sam both wear Cougar sweaters.
[31:45] >> Centered out in front. Oh, a great
[31:47] opportunity. Katherine Janeer right
[31:49] there.
[31:50] But ultimately Andover able to clear.
[31:52] Now they track it as Taylor Shrifles
[31:56] goes to the wall.
[31:59] >> Piper Andrews the captain in there as
[32:01] well. Dropped back to the point and
[32:04] ultimately gloved and held on to as
[32:06] Wyland saw that shot through traffic and
[32:09] made the save. Well, Jonathan is one of
[32:12] the biggest
[32:14] CSLP fans, Centennial fans you'll find.
[32:17] always in his Letterman jacket, always
[32:19] greeting the kids after a uh another
[32:22] hard-fought victory. He has predict a 53
[32:26] win for the Cougars tonight. Shot from
[32:29] above the circle hits a body out in
[32:32] front. Cross ice pass evades Rensow and
[32:36] then it's banked back in by the Huskies.
[32:39] Good battle here with Andrews who wins
[32:42] it.
[32:44] Andrews and Rensow down there. Now it's
[32:47] Gurtis. Thought about doing the
[32:50] Michigan, but ultimately has it taken
[32:51] away. Centering pass by Kluff
[32:56] Banked out of the zone and Andover's got
[32:58] to regroup, but the Huskies have kept
[33:00] pace with the top ranked Cougars
[33:02] in this first period. Annabelle Buchoni
[33:05] as a couple Huskies collide at the blue
[33:08] line.
[33:09] Perau sweeps it in, but it's intercepted
[33:11] by KF. Cross ice pass to Lind. Here's
[33:16] Audrey Lind.
[33:21] Huskies or Cougars rather just looking a
[33:23] little little unsure at times as Renslo.
[33:30] Walter backhands it in and goes off for
[33:33] a change.
[33:35] Picked up here by Dorstead. Snaps a pass
[33:37] ahead for Linda
[33:42] back at her own circle.
[33:44] banked ahead for Logger.
[33:47] Tried to find Such. It's intercepted.
[33:50] Dorset fires it back in. A ref goes
[33:53] down. He seems to be okay.
[33:56] Good for check here by the Cougars as
[33:58] Such regains the zone. Logger picks it
[34:02] up. They just they don't look like
[34:04] they're in their settled positions. Kind
[34:06] of all over the place.
[34:10] That's about the extent of my hockey
[34:13] commentary.
[34:14] Logger has her pass intercepted by
[34:17] Dorststead.
[34:19] >> Gertis, nice passing to Kluff and then
[34:22] intercepted at center ice. Gertis
[34:25] carries it back in for Andover. Gertis
[34:28] from the left dot
[34:30] high in the air. Finally gloved down.
[34:34] >> Logger along the right half wall. Tries
[34:36] to lift it out but can't.
[34:40] Picked up here. Sharp angle shot and a
[34:42] good save by Wyland. But what an effort
[34:45] by Iceland Larson.
[34:47] Freshman forward. Didn't have much to
[34:50] shoot at, but she made it count. As you
[34:53] see, Andover just kind of getting to
[34:55] pucks first, winning those sort of 50/50
[34:59] pucks.
[35:01] And they have competed competed hard,
[35:04] competed well here in this first period,
[35:06] outshooting CSLP seven to five. Five
[35:10] shots in a period. Very uncharacteristic
[35:13] for a team that is averaging nearly six
[35:15] goals a game. 5.95
[35:19] cleared back to center ice but Andover
[35:21] there.
[35:23] Now Walter able to force the turnover.
[35:25] Avery Wagner I should say. Wagner shot
[35:28] saved by Hills. We've got a minute left
[35:31] in the first.
[35:38] Huskies chase it to the end board.
[35:41] [cheering]
[35:45] KFT on the backhand regains the zone for
[35:48] Andover.
[35:53] Just a
[35:55] uncharacteristically ragged first period
[35:58] I would say for CSLP.
[36:02] Shots nearly even at seven to six.
[36:05] But I just mean for the standard of play
[36:07] that the Cougars have set this year and
[36:11] and as of late.
[36:20] >> Renow to take the face against Gertis.
[36:24] 13 goals and 16 assists. Both team highs
[36:28] for Andover.
[36:32] Gurtis
[36:34] back to the point for Shriles. Pad save.
[36:42] Gertis nice pass
[36:45] trying to find Larson.
[36:48] Back out to Shriles down low. There's a
[36:50] shot. Backhand attempt. Multiple saves.
[36:53] Another save. Three consecutive saves
[36:56] for Ka Wland.
[37:00] >> Four in a bunch there.
[37:03] And with just a second left, a little
[37:05] less than a second, this will be
[37:08] basically time for one last faceoff,
[37:11] >> but Kya Wland keeping her team in this
[37:14] game, keeping it a scoreless game.
[37:19] And she has stopped all 11 shots she's
[37:21] faced here in this first period. But how
[37:22] many times this season has CSLP been
[37:25] outshot by their opponent? But that's
[37:27] exactly what happened in this first
[37:29] period. Almost two to one margin. and
[37:32] over outshooting
[37:33] CSLP 11-6 in that first period. But
[37:37] thanks to some tradition terrific
[37:39] goalending, we remain scoreless. That's
[37:42] how we head to the first intermission
[37:43] here on North Metro TV.
[38:05] We in Spring Lake Park believe in
[38:07] building a strong and safe community.

[46:30] Ladies and gentlemen,
[46:32] any

[49:43] Back here on a chilly
[49:46] night in Circle Pines, scoreless after
[49:48] one period of play between Andover and
[49:50] CSLP. Let's look at the first period
[49:52] highlights
[49:54] between these two teams, the Cougars and
[49:56] the Huskies. And it was a lot of
[49:58] defense, a lot of goalending and a lot
[50:01] of defense.
[50:03] 11 saves made by Kaia Wland including
[50:06] the glove one there.
[50:09] Couple missed shots as well and over for
[50:12] some turnovers
[50:14] but could not res could not capitalize
[50:16] in transition. CSLP had one power play
[50:19] couldn't take advantage. Ultimately
[50:22] Clarabella Hills stopped all six shots
[50:25] that she faced. Shots were 11 to six in
[50:27] favor of Andover in that opening period.
[50:31] I would say they had the better of play.
[50:33] They had a little more jump and so
[50:35] they've got to be feeling
[50:38] confident there. Three consecutive saves
[50:40] by made by Ka Wland right there. So
[50:45] CSLP without their leading scorer Elena
[50:50] who just returned from the her time with
[50:52] Team USA tonight
[50:55] trying to do it short-handed here as
[50:57] they'll switch hands.
[51:03] Top ranked team in class doubleA
[51:06] Centennial Spring Lake Park
[51:11] trying to defend home ice. Three of
[51:13] their last four games in the regular
[51:16] season will be here. Only road game
[51:17] remaining at Anoka.
[51:26] We'll start with the same
[51:31] starters out as they did to begin the
[51:33] game.
[51:34] Both teams as Josie Kelzenberg wins it
[51:37] back to Brook Yulan and CSLP try to look
[51:40] a little more in sync. They offensively
[51:43] than they did in the first period.
[51:45] Katherine Janeia loses it.
[51:48] Cycle the puck back down low. Chased
[51:51] down by Josie Kelzenberg. It's been
[51:53] redot lately. Centering pass tipped to
[51:55] the end boards.
[51:57] They try to throw it in front but it's
[51:59] taken away.
[52:02] Good stick to knock it free from Tegan
[52:03] Olsson. Now they There's a penalty
[52:06] coming up. Avery Wagner a trip. Just
[52:10] left the stick dangling too long and
[52:12] Wagner
[52:14] takes CSLP's first penalty. The freshman
[52:17] forward.
[52:19] That is not how Centennio s Spring Lake
[52:22] Park wanted to start as she took down
[52:25] Alexa Dorstread trying to get past her.
[52:27] Do penalty coming at 31 seconds
[52:31] of the second period. So both teams have
[52:35] committed tripping penalties tonight and
[52:37] now it's Andover's turn to go on the
[52:38] power play. They're 18% there this
[52:40] season. Spring Lake Park Centennial,
[52:43] meanwhile, killing off 90.5%
[52:46] of the penalties they faced.
[52:50] >> So, both excellent penalty kills
[52:53] as that puck is iced and we'll do a draw
[52:56] down in the Andover end.
[53:00] So, we'll see if uh maybe Grace Logger
[53:03] or Mia Such has a short-handed goal.
[53:06] insights.
[53:19] >> Gurtis wins the draw back to Taylor
[53:22] Shriles.
[53:24] Snaps a pass over gets it to Iceland.
[53:27] Lars Larson. With a name like Iceland,
[53:30] you know you're destined to play hockey
[53:32] and be good. Annabelle Buchoni
[53:36] rings it around. Trifles
[53:39] has to chase it back into her own zone.
[53:43] Trifles protecting it from the
[53:47] forche of
[53:49] Grace Logger. [screaming]
[53:51] Now it's Mia Such's turn to be a bother.
[53:55] Speedy sophomore getting in the way. One
[53:58] minute left to go on the tripping miner.
[54:00] And again, Andover ices the puck and
[54:03] that'll kill off more valuable time for
[54:05] CSLP.
[54:08] Centennial Spring Lake Park didn't have
[54:10] the most productive looking power play
[54:12] and Andover hasn't either so far
[54:16] thanks to the aggressive forch check,
[54:18] aggressive kill of CSLP. Mattie Walter
[54:22] to do the honors.
[54:26] Able to tie up Alexis Wagner.
[54:29] And now stolen back by Brook Yulan.
[54:33] CSLP down a skater just trying to
[54:36] [cheering] keep it down in this end and
[54:37] kill off some time. Yulan skating away.
[54:40] Pounded by multiple Huskys.
[54:44] >> Puck pinged up against the left half
[54:46] wall. Taken off it by Yuland. Goes off
[54:49] the end boards.
[54:53] finally tracked down in the corner and
[54:55] the Huskies
[54:57] took them 35 seconds to get out of their
[54:59] own end after that draw. Walter good
[55:02] poke check to knock it free.
[55:04] Katie Ball will go high up the off the
[55:07] window and out of the zone into the path
[55:10] of Lena Fensky. [cheering] Lena Fensky I
[55:13] should say. First time we've called her
[55:14] name tonight. And another icing will
[55:17] bring the faceoff back down in the
[55:18] Huskies end with just eight seconds
[55:20] remaining on this power play.
[55:23] As you take a look at Ka Wland,
[55:26] >> the junior future division one commit
[55:34] Walter once again to do the honors
[55:36] against Gertis.
[55:41] >> Doorstad behind her own net. able
[55:46] to pass it out of the zone. But again,
[55:48] Katie Ball disrupting things at center
[55:50] ice.
[55:52] >> Cougars back to full strength. Shot from
[55:54] long distance. Gloved help comfortably
[55:57] by Ka Wland.
[56:08] Andovers played a rigorous schedule like
[56:11] they typically do. They're 119 and one,
[56:14] five and two in Northwest Suburban
[56:16] Conference play. It's good for third
[56:20] off the faceoff.
[56:23] CSLP reverses course and it's picked up
[56:26] by Josie Kelzenberg up ahead looking for
[56:28] Jania
[56:32] Dorstead
[56:34] racing away from a defender pinned up
[56:37] against the endboards.
[56:40] Kelzenberg big collision in the left
[56:42] wing corner.
[56:44] Gurtis able to hold off a defender in
[56:46] the neutral zone and regain for the
[56:49] Huskies. And then she's stapled by
[56:52] Annabelle Buchaone. And that's going to
[56:54] be a penalty as she stood up. Gertis
[56:57] in the right circle.
[57:00] So CSLP giving their penalty kill an
[57:03] early workout
[57:05] here in this second period.
[57:09] That penalty coming at uh
[57:14] 313
[57:18] interference the call.
[57:22] So now we'll see if the Huskies can be
[57:24] any better on this power play. Only got
[57:26] one shot off on their last one. In fact,
[57:29] that wasn't even on their last power
[57:31] play. The power play had ended
[57:33] >> technically.
[57:37] Body checking.
[57:38] >> Body checking technically the call
[57:40] again. 313 the time of the penalty
[57:44] >> again. Huskies or excuse the Cougars
[57:47] making themselves a nuisance. Not
[57:50] allowing the Huskys to get going. Mia
[57:52] Such steals it. Such goes off the wall
[57:54] to herself. Look out. Mia Such DRIVING
[57:56] THE NET. GOES SCORES. [screaming]
[58:02] MIA SUCH.
[58:04] GOAL NUMBER 18 ON THE SEASON. Centennial
[58:09] SLP, COURTESY OF A SHORT-HANDED GOAL,
[58:12] takes a one- nothing lead.
[58:16] Drove the net, went around Hills, and
[58:20] made no mistake
[58:23] despite the efforts of Molly Kluff to
[58:26] try to track her down.
[58:31] CSLP
[58:34] with a short-handed tally.
[58:43] >> See who they give the assist to.
[58:47] >> Such unassisted.
[58:51] >> Time of the goal. 347 of the second
[58:54] period. Mia such unass assisted a
[58:58] shorty. And now Andover tries to answer
[59:00] back with a minute to go on this body
[59:03] checking penalty.
[59:06] Trying to get their power play going. No
[59:08] shots on the power play thus far. That
[59:11] one whizzes high.
[59:14] Tipped again. Another opportunity here
[59:16] for CSLP. Renow gets absolutely tattooed
[59:22] as she gets the shot away. And that's
[59:24] going to be a penalty.
[59:27] And that was about as clear and obvious
[59:30] as it gets.
[59:32] Iceland Larson gave her a whack and
[59:36] followed through as she let that shot
[59:38] go.
[59:41] Frustration penalty from the freshman
[59:43] right there. So we'll have four on four
[59:46] for the next 39 seconds and then a
[59:49] minute 21 of power play. And a chance
[59:53] here for CSLP to take this momentum and
[59:57] run with it.
[60:00] Already leading one- nothing off the
[60:02] draw. Yulan center point. Josie
[60:05] Kelzenberg tries to come off the wall.
[60:08] Centering pass. Beautiful. Goes all the
[60:10] way out from Melanie Ref.
[60:13] >> Instead, it'll come up the wall for
[60:15] Yuland.
[60:19] 435
[60:21] >> 435 the time of the penalty and it is
[60:24] body checking is that shot saved by
[60:27] Hills.
[60:28] >> Iceland Larson takes the penalty.
[60:34] A great job just coming off the wall and
[60:36] Hills ultimately deciding to melt that
[60:39] down. 14 seconds left of fouron four as
[60:42] Centennial SLP
[60:46] makes uh some changes
[60:50] gets Grace Logger back out there along
[60:52] with Such
[60:57] Such back to Logger shared near side
[60:59] Katy Ball walks the line now gives back
[61:01] to Logger from the point that had some
[61:04] sizzle to it but Hills made the Hey,
[61:12] Grace Logger's brother, Bryce, played
[61:15] his hockey at Blaine High School for a
[61:16] few years. He'll be wearing very similar
[61:19] looking uniforms when he goes to
[61:21] Wisconsin next year.
[61:23] Off the draw, Grace Logger one-time and
[61:26] it's blocked out front. She gets it back
[61:28] from the left dot. Good save, Hills. And
[61:30] she breaks it back to herself despite
[61:33] such and others on the doorstep.
[61:42] Grace logger. A couple bites at the
[61:44] apple right there
[61:47] once again.
[61:49] Now it's a uh five on four situation as
[61:52] the
[61:54] Bakonei penalty is released and she hops
[61:56] back on the ice
[61:59] off the draw. Well read by Curtis who
[62:01] banks it out of the zone and then sets
[62:02] up along the blue line.
[62:05] Ball
[62:07] pounded there by Piper Andrews.
[62:10] Cross ice pass
[62:13] >> banked into the zone for Such to give
[62:15] chase.
[62:17] Handover just trying to kind of play
[62:19] keep away right now.
[62:22] Good stick lift by
[62:24] Gurtis there against Ball. But here come
[62:27] the Husk. Here come the Cougars rather.
[62:30] >> THERE'S A SHOT. GLOVE SAVE SPILLED OUT
[62:32] IN FRONT. IT'S still loose, jamming at
[62:34] it. Loose in the slot. Finally slides to
[62:37] the right wing corner. CSLP
[62:42] with ball at the point.
[62:45] Curtis aggressive on the kill. Centered
[62:48] looking for Sut. She falls down.
[62:51] 25 seconds left on the penalty as
[62:53] they're able to send it all the way
[62:54] down.
[63:00] >> Logger. Physical play here from Alexis
[63:02] Wagner and the Huskies on this penalty
[63:04] kill.
[63:06] Ball goes back to Wagner who re regroups
[63:10] with 7 seconds left.
[63:15] So the penalty expires. Both teams back
[63:17] to full strength. Perau regains the
[63:19] zone. Works to the outside. Perau feeds
[63:22] in front. Oh, great chance.
[63:25] Just missed the net. Such through
[63:26] traffic. loose in front
[63:29] and ultimately it's covered and held on
[63:31] to. Shots are now even for the game.
[63:34] 1212
[63:36] as we take a look at the last couple
[63:37] chances for the Cougars.
[63:40] Again, some of these juicy rebounds and
[63:43] they have
[63:45] players on the doorstep just have not
[63:48] been able to take advantage. Such with a
[63:50] crack there.
[63:52] Walter battling as well, but ultimately
[63:55] Husky's able to clear it.
[63:59] Well, not clear it, but at least keep it
[64:01] out.
[64:03] Oh, good recovery there and a needed one
[64:05] from Brook Yulan. Gloved down by Walter.
[64:08] Walter from the right dot. Shoots. Save
[64:10] made. Walter rings it up the boards for
[64:14] ref at the point through traffic. Gloved
[64:17] and held on to by Hills.
[64:20] frenetic last uh couple minutes
[64:27] >> shots in the period though. CSLP has
[64:29] woken up
[64:31] 7 to one. Shots in favor of the Cougars
[64:34] as we're inside of 10 minutes to go in
[64:36] the second period. One- nothing CSLP
[64:39] leads.
[64:41] Draw one cleanly back to the point.
[64:43] Shared near side for Yulan goes down low
[64:46] with it.
[64:48] Josie Kelzenberg Perau tries a
[64:51] wraparound. Hills covers
[64:55] and again Lillian Rensow not af
[64:59] get in the uh tough spaces as Julia
[65:02] Gertis
[65:03] tries to prevent her from getting a good
[65:06] good look at things.
[65:09] Gertis and Piper Andrews doing their
[65:12] captain's duty.
[65:19] Kelzenberg versus Gertis. Kelzenberg
[65:21] wins it. Baone.
[65:26] Bank down the wall.
[65:29] Misplayed.
[65:31] And now Bakone's got to recover with
[65:33] Andrews on her heels.
[65:39] >> Walter giving chase. Dorstad gets there
[65:41] first.
[65:46] >> [cheering]
[65:48] >> Speedy Iceland Larson putting pressure
[65:52] as Baone in the right wing will just
[65:54] lift it out to center. Kicked down by
[65:57] Dorststead. Oh, a chance there.
[65:59] Kelzenberg nearly had it roll right into
[66:03] her path.
[66:06] Snapped ahead, tipped into the zone, but
[66:09] the speedy Annabelle Buchoni recovers.
[66:12] uncharacteristic of her as such a small
[66:15] player to get a penalty-like body
[66:17] checking. She really laid the lumber.
[66:19] Not
[66:21] known more for her speed than her size
[66:23] and strength.
[66:26] Walt or Wagner rather. Avery Wagner
[66:28] twoon two for SCSLP as they gain the
[66:31] zone. Wagner back hands it off the side
[66:33] of the net.
[66:38] Handover transitions from defense to
[66:42] offense.
[66:44] Tegan Olsson's drop pass intercepted by
[66:46] Josie Kelzenberg who redines it down and
[66:49] ices the puck. 8-10 to go. Second
[66:52] period.
[66:55] Shots in the period all in favor of
[66:58] CSLP. 8 to one. They lead it on the
[67:01] scoreboard as well.
[67:07] He has such back out there. Top line for
[67:10] the Cougs
[67:16] off the draw though. Gurtis. She's
[67:19] looked dangerous. Drops it for Kluff.
[67:22] Cut off at the pass by Yulan.
[67:26] Ball gets there first. Such banks it
[67:29] ahead. Looking for Logger. run into,
[67:32] however, by Aubrey Kelly.
[67:38] Intercepted by Kluff at the blue line.
[67:43] They force a turnover. Larson centering
[67:45] pass. Good stick to lift on Payton
[67:48] Haley.
[67:55] And over moving the puck quickly, but
[67:56] that was an errant pass.
[67:59] More of a get it in the zone and they'll
[68:01] try to change on the fly.
[68:05] Pluff can't hold the zone. Logger trying
[68:07] to track it down. She'll get there.
[68:09] Logger backhanded it in front. Had such
[68:12] crashing the net. CSLP possessed it for
[68:16] a moment, but now Andover and Julia
[68:19] Gertis able to take it. They'll try to
[68:22] catch CSLP on the on the change. Gertis
[68:25] drives the net. Sharp angle shot. No,
[68:27] still has it. Gurtis circling the zone.
[68:34] Drops it here for Piper Andrews. Andrews
[68:37] gets it back between the rings looking
[68:39] for Shriles.
[68:41] Helps it along for Iceland Larson.
[68:48] Well played there by CSLP. Here comes
[68:51] Annabelle. Biconei
[68:53] lift and chase past Hills. Trifles gets
[68:57] there first for Andover.
[69:01] Goes up the boards. Kramer holds the
[69:03] zone for the Cougs.
[69:07] Perau center looking for Walters.
[69:11] Gloved but or cleared but not out.
[69:14] Gloved down by Yulan. Now Perau getting
[69:17] away from Shrifles.
[69:19] Goes up the wall back. held at the point
[69:22] by ref and her shot handled comfortably
[69:25] by Clara Bella Hills.
[69:30] We talked about Andover. They don't
[69:32] score a ton, averaging less than three
[69:34] goals a game, 2.81,
[69:37] but they also are stingy defensively,
[69:39] which is why the 8-1 score line was bit
[69:42] of a surprise to see.
[69:45] They give up uh 2.14
[69:48] goals a game allowed per game. So they
[69:51] don't score a ton, but they don't
[69:52] concede a ton either. A well drilled
[69:55] bunch. Melissa Vulks crew.
[70:00] Centering pass. Nobody was home. Yulan
[70:03] was up at the point. So it's carried on
[70:05] out by Andover. Here come the Huskies
[70:08] on the backhand centering looking for a
[70:10] crashing Alexis Wagner. And we got
[70:14] another penalty coming up. Another trip.
[70:17] And this time I believe it's Josie
[70:19] Kelzenberg.
[70:25] Third penalty of the period taken by the
[70:28] Cougars.
[70:35] Two trips and a
[70:41] body checking.
[70:46] Handover so far 0 for two with the
[70:48] player advantage.
[70:51] In fact, last time CSLP scored, the only
[70:54] goal of the game was short-handed. So,
[70:58] >> try to double that out.
[71:05] >> 11:36 the time of the penalty. Hand
[71:08] over.
[71:10] See if they can do something different.
[71:12] Grace Logger with a chance. Logger rips
[71:15] and fires and will and Hills crashed
[71:17] into by one of her own teammates, but
[71:20] able to make the save. Hopefully she's
[71:22] okay.
[71:26] Logger I I thought was going to drive
[71:28] the net, but instead she just stopped
[71:30] between the rings and ripped one. And
[71:32] then coming back, Iceland Larson lost
[71:35] control and crashed into Claire Bellah
[71:38] Hills.
[71:44] But again, another draw forced in the
[71:46] Huskies end when they're on the power
[71:49] play
[71:54] as such
[71:58] off the face.
[72:00] Sister Bella was a really good
[72:02] basketball player at Spring Lake Park.
[72:09] Into the zone comes Larson. She throws
[72:11] it in front. Nobody home. Kluff.
[72:18] Loses her edge, but still able to center
[72:21] it.
[72:23] Comes away with it.
[72:27] Not real authoritative on the clear, but
[72:29] does get it out to center.
[72:32] >> Kloff at the line, moves middle, decides
[72:35] to shoot.
[72:37] nearly reaches the goalender, but
[72:39] instead it's cleared off the window and
[72:41] out.
[72:43] >> So, better, but still no official shots
[72:47] on goal, at least according to the
[72:48] scoreboard. Still just one in the period
[72:51] for the Huskies. Poked away nicely by
[72:55] Grace Logger.
[72:58] That aggressive penalty power penalty
[73:01] kill has been effective. Gertis trying
[73:04] to tow drag her way past Wagner and
[73:06] can't.
[73:08] And now Mia Such Chuck chases onto a
[73:10] loose puck. Such has already scored one
[73:12] short-handed goal. She can't score
[73:14] another pad save made by Hills.
[73:18] Six seconds left on the tripping miner.
[73:21] And Centennial SLP three for three on
[73:24] the penalty kill in this second period.
[73:30] Yulan
[73:32] >> evades the check of Iceland Larson.
[73:36] >> Ella Perau above the left circle tries
[73:38] to find her teammate cutting to the net.
[73:41] Loose puck in front. Hills down. Bodies
[73:44] everywhere as Gertis goes down. Gurtis
[73:47] has been in the mix protecting her net
[73:50] minder a bunch as
[73:54] Hill seems okay. But CSLP has certainly
[73:57] had chances as such could not uh double
[74:03] the lead.
[74:05] And then a chance here as Perau
[74:08] centered and then the puck found its way
[74:11] onto a stick and ultimately again it's
[74:13] Renslo
[74:15] mixing it up with Taylor Shriles
[74:19] and in fact we have a penalty on Trifles
[74:25] as the Andover captain sits in the box
[74:28] and it's going to be a power play for
[74:30] the Cougars.
[74:32] Each team has now committed three
[74:34] penalties.
[74:37] >> That might have been for the
[74:38] extracurriculars after
[74:42] >> logger
[74:44] >> crosschecking on trifles
[74:46] >> at 1345.
[74:48] Annabelle Buchaoney
[74:51] goes off the end boards trying to tow
[74:53] drag it. One-time up and out of play and
[74:55] oh Grace
[74:57] Logger wanted that one back.
[75:06] Yeah, it's one thing to protect your
[75:08] goalie, but sometimes you can violate
[75:11] the letter of the law doing that.
[75:16] >> Logger off the draw in front, throws on
[75:19] a net. Hills makes the save. Backhanded
[75:22] opportunity and then Logger fans on it.
[75:25] Logger was crashing the net. Good
[75:27] pressure this from CSLP. Baone Tess
[75:31] Hills and she makes the save and then
[75:33] comes out and grabs it. Hills not afraid
[75:38] to get to the edge of that blue paint to
[75:41] make the save
[75:43] as you see multiple excellent chances.
[75:46] Had to handle that one up high from
[75:47] Bucha.
[75:50] So the second power play unit out there
[75:52] now for CSLP
[75:59] one back to the point with ball logger
[76:03] for BA from the right dot shoots AND
[76:06] THEY SCORE.
[76:08] I think it was tipped in front and I
[76:11] think it was me as such her second
[76:14] special teams goal of the period. This
[76:17] one on the power play and it's two
[76:19] nothing Cougars.
[76:23] Baone threw it in front. Such tipped it
[76:27] home. A deflected goal.
[76:31] Cougars outshooting the Huskies in this
[76:33] second period 15-
[76:37] one
[76:38] and they have asserted their dominance
[76:41] on the score sheet as well.
[76:45] So Baone you figure will get the primary
[76:48] assist.
[76:53] >> Goal number two for
[76:54] >> such
[76:57] numbers
[77:01] >> and logger gets a helper as well.
[77:09] >> 1431. So such from Buchonian logger on
[77:12] the power play at 1431
[77:15] of the second period
[77:19] two nothing and will we see a repeat as
[77:23] Andover's got a twoon one the other way
[77:25] shot that goes wide and again just
[77:28] didn't hit the net Payton Haley missed
[77:30] on that one shot unable to be held by
[77:33] Wland
[77:36] she failed to grab that effort from the
[77:38] point forced back out to neutral.
[77:41] [cheering]
[77:46] >> Yulan picks it up behind her own net
[77:48] with a minute 20 remaining in the
[77:51] period. Up ahead for Jania who gains the
[77:53] zone. Jania
[77:55] works to the outside.
[77:58] Knocked off the puck by Kluff.
[78:03] Kluff with speed down the right wing.
[78:08] still has it. Kind of lost speed there a
[78:11] little bit.
[78:12] >> Gets it back at the right point.
[78:14] Bounding puck picked up. Here comes Mia
[78:16] Such again. Jes
[78:19] left dot shoots and it's a blocker save
[78:22] from Hills.
[78:26] Oh, excellent chance there. Oh, my bad.
[78:30] I said it was nine. It was actually
[78:32] eight. Avery Wagner testing hills.
[78:37] Heading for the hills. you might say.
[78:39] And Hills ultimately made the save with
[78:42] 50 seconds remaining in the period. Two
[78:44] nothing Cougars lead.
[78:48] Faceoff one back to the point. Avery
[78:51] again testing the net minder. And that's
[78:53] a save. Wagner moving in. She's had a
[78:56] good shift right here.
[78:59] >> Stolen. Wagner in front on the backand.
[79:02] And Hills makes another save. Boy, Hills
[79:05] has been tested.
[79:10] In this second period,
[79:13] she has faced 16 shots, including a pair
[79:18] more there.
[79:21] Able to just kind of paddle it back to
[79:23] herself.
[79:29] Such with two power two special teams
[79:32] goals in this period,
[79:34] >> one short-handed, one on the power play.
[79:38] as they try to get one more ball.
[79:44] >> Curtis leaning on her.
[79:47] >> Kramer comes down to play it. Bounding
[79:49] puck. Perhaps one more chance. 10
[79:52] seconds left for Andover. Centering pass
[79:55] and it hits a stick.
[79:58] >> Gurtis into the zone, but the play is
[80:00] ruled offside.
[80:13] Just two shots in this period for
[80:15] Andover. They've been outsh shot 16-2
[80:19] by Centennial Spring Lake Park
[80:23] as the horn sounds in this second
[80:25] period. Mia Such scores short-handed and
[80:29] then scores on the power play near the
[80:31] end of the period and the Cougars take a
[80:33] two nothing lead over the Andover
[80:35] Huskies to our second intermission. back

[85:43] Crazy.
[87:31] Glor.
[87:47] Hallelujah.
[91:00] Crazy.
[92:19] Yeah, you're right.
[92:40] Two nothing our score as we start the
[92:42] third period of play here in Circle
[92:44] Pines. Centennial SLP looking to win its
[92:47] eighth straight and defeat Andover for
[92:49] the second time in the last two weeks.
[92:51] Let's look at second period highlights.
[92:53] And for CSLP, there were a couple. Well,
[92:57] it started with Mia as such scoring
[92:59] short-handed early in the period.
[93:03] CSLP penalty kill a short-handed goal
[93:05] three for three tonight.
[93:07] They outshot Andover in the period 16-2
[93:12] as they reasserted themselves
[93:15] and really made Clare Bella Hills work.
[93:20] He is such nearly shorted scoring
[93:22] short-handed again
[93:24] finally late in the period. CSLP had its
[93:27] own power play and Annabelle Buchony's
[93:29] shot from the dot tipped in by Mia such
[93:34] for another goal
[93:36] and that's where we stand to rip.
[93:40] Cougars lead the Huskies. Bill Hup
[93:43] a solo mission tonight for North Metro
[93:45] TV. Don't forget to stay tuned for our
[93:48] postgame interviews. No doubt Mia will
[93:51] be one of them. We'll pick another
[93:53] player as well to talk to.
[93:56] As we've got 17 minutes up on the clock,
[93:58] ready to start this third period of
[93:59] action.
[94:03] Tegan Olsen against Josie Kelzenberg at
[94:07] center ice.
[94:11] Off the dot, it's swept in the zone by
[94:14] Katherine Jania.
[94:16] And immediately the Cougars get back on
[94:18] the offense. Janineia loses out to Olen
[94:21] tries to help it along. Kelzenberg in
[94:23] the way. Geneia recovers.
[94:27] Larson,
[94:30] goes down. No penalty. They shake their
[94:33] heads at that. Olsson tracking it. Yulan
[94:37] able to get there first. Good stick lift
[94:39] though.
[94:42] Picked up here by number 23 Alexis
[94:45] Wagner. Back to the point.
[94:47] >> Good pressure though and the Cougars
[94:49] force it out of the zone.
[94:52] Captain Taylor Schiff's
[94:54] sacred heart commit. Little casual with
[94:57] it. Loses it to Avery Wagner. Such in
[95:00] there as well. Forced back up the wall.
[95:02] Shot from the point. Deflected wideone
[95:06] comes down about around the outside the
[95:08] left circle and forces it in deep.
[95:10] Trifles can't clear.
[95:13] They cycle it. Finally Shriles in the
[95:15] way. Flips it off of ball and out to
[95:17] center ice
[95:19] into the zone. from Iceland Larson. Good
[95:21] job by Grace Logger to disrupt her shot.
[95:26] Tipped past Gurtis
[95:29] Kluff
[95:30] tries to force it back in the zone. Such
[95:33] picks it up. Two on two for CSLP.
[95:36] Pass across for Logger and her shot from
[95:39] the slot is blocked down.
[95:42] >> Fensky get in the way of that one.
[95:46] >> Larson in front of her own bench.
[95:53] Uone
[95:55] zips it in and goes off for a change.
[96:01] Grounding puck right into the path of
[96:03] Gertis.
[96:04] Curtis trying to tow drag her way
[96:06] through. Stood up nicely. It's loose in
[96:09] front
[96:10] and finally Cougar's able to clear.
[96:18] Poor clearance there.
[96:20] Perau will just backhand it in deep.
[96:23] Rens, great pass out front. Walters. Pad
[96:26] save made. Another pad save made by
[96:29] Hills.
[96:31] That first save she made was excellent.
[96:36] Now a board battle along the end boards
[96:38] and Perau comes up with it. Perau
[96:41] looking for a pass decides to reverse
[96:43] course to Reno.
[96:46] Another
[96:48] goal you feel like would just about ice
[96:50] it for CSLP.
[96:53] Of course,
[96:55] >> you saw the Cougs score five against
[96:57] this Andover team last time they met, so
[97:02] you never know. Andover without numbers.
[97:06] They pull up in the midst of a change
[97:08] and Trifles back hands it in.
[97:13] >> Logger in the right wing corner.
[97:19] Beg your pardon. That's Yulan.
[97:21] Reverses course for ref.
[97:25] >> Cleared but not out. Now a chance here.
[97:28] Mattie Walter
[97:30] trying to walk her way through and
[97:32] knocked off the puck by Tegan Olsen.
[97:35] Loose lumber on the ice as Andover ices
[97:39] the puck and the draw will come back
[97:40] down. That was a nice three and a half
[97:42] minutes of flowing hockey to start the
[97:45] period.
[97:50] >> Amazing. 116 the shots in favor of
[97:53] Andover after the first period. Now it's
[97:55] 2313
[97:57] CSLP
[98:06] helped along here out in front and a
[98:09] great chance off the end boards. What a
[98:11] centering pass for Josie Kelzenberg
[98:15] but Hills was square to it and made a
[98:17] nice save.
[98:20] >> Outstanding centering pass there by
[98:22] Katherine Janeia.
[98:24] What a find.
[98:26] But ultimately Kelzenberg could not beat
[98:30] Hills.
[98:33] >> Wagner holds the zone. Banks it off the
[98:36] end boards and off the side of the net.
[98:40] Andrews
[98:42] has her pass intercepted by Bucha who
[98:47] decides to just regain the zone. She'll
[98:49] fire from the slot. Glove save made.
[98:54] Four minutes gone by here in the third
[98:56] period. Still a two nothing lead for the
[98:58] Cougars
[99:00] trying to pick up their 19th win of the
[99:03] regular season and their ninth
[99:05] conference victory.
[99:25] Raph reverses course and turns it over.
[99:38] >> Chance now for Andover on the backhand
[99:41] walking right up Main Street
[99:46] off the wall. centering pass right into
[99:48] the path of Logger. Logger's got a
[99:50] speeding such to her left. Grace Logger
[99:53] decides to take it herself and she hits
[99:55] the post.
[99:58] Comes around and plays it off the left
[99:59] half wall. Mia Such on a hattick drops
[100:02] it back for Logger. Her shot deflected.
[100:05] Such still on it
[100:09] to Logger AND THEY SCORE.
[100:12] Fantastic teamwork. Perau to logger from
[100:16] a knee. Three nothing Cougars.
[100:23] Great centering pass and Logger has a
[100:26] goal now to go with her assist tonight.
[100:29] 10th of the season. As you see, Perau
[100:32] just feeds it in the slot. And Logger
[100:35] was there to make no mistake.
[100:39] So now they have done it all.
[100:42] short-handed goal, power play, and an
[100:44] even strength tally.
[100:47] As you figure that'll be
[100:50] either a single assist or
[100:53] they'll throw Such's name on there as
[100:55] well.
[101:04] >> Yep. Mia such
[101:10] >> surprised that Peralt didn't get the
[101:12] first assist,
[101:15] >> but it's officially logger from such and
[101:17] Peralt at 458.
[101:20] And so Mia Such has been involved in all
[101:24] three goals tonight. Scored two of them
[101:26] and assisted on the third.
[101:29] Lofted back out to center ice by Baone
[101:34] and the icing will bring it back down
[101:36] into the Cougar end. Stops the clock
[101:37] with 1108 to go third period.
[101:46] Such scored a short-handed unassisted
[101:48] goal and then on the power play assisted
[101:52] by Bakonian Logger and then
[101:56] was the primary assistter along with
[101:59] Peralt
[102:02] for the Grace Logger goal here in the
[102:04] third. Two in the second, one in the
[102:06] third.
[102:08] Nice move by Kluff above the left
[102:10] circle. Hits a teammate out in front.
[102:12] Gurtis was trying to provide a screen.
[102:15] provided too good of a screen, I guess.
[102:21] Wagner in the left wing circle.
[102:26] Go high off the glass. Kluff finds her
[102:29] teammate Gurtis up ahead looking for
[102:32] Piper Andrews.
[102:35] Cougar goes to the ice and we've got a
[102:37] penalty.
[102:41] Multiple
[102:42] downs, so we'll see who gets called for
[102:44] the cross check. And it looks like
[102:53] looks like it's going to be
[102:57] Yeah. Josie Kelzenberg.
[103:00] Second penalty in as many periods for
[103:02] Kelzenberg. The cross check.
[103:08] First penalty of three for three so far
[103:10] on the kill.
[103:13] Kelzenberg. A little bit of a
[103:14] frustration penalty there.
[103:18] Up ahead, Grace Logger trying to control
[103:20] it neutral. Oh, she could have had a
[103:22] breakaway if she had been able to bring
[103:24] it out of the air, but
[103:33] >> 629 the time of the penalty. Now, this
[103:36] aggressive kill has been
[103:39] really good tonight for CSLP. We
[103:42] mentioned three for three. They've also
[103:44] short scored a short-handed goal.
[103:46] They've had a couple other
[103:46] opportunities.
[103:48] Earned multiple faceoffs down in the end
[103:50] over end and logger trying to re leak
[103:53] out just like that. But ultimately Hills
[103:56] way out of her net basically between the
[103:59] rings and decides to take the whistle.
[104:03] His logger just sort of just sort of
[104:05] hangs out at neutral, walks the line,
[104:07] and then is looking to leak out and
[104:11] skate on to a to a puck. her teammates
[104:13] know to hit her. It's like a long outlet
[104:16] pass in basketball. I hate to make a
[104:19] basketball analogy during a hockey game,
[104:20] but I just did.
[104:23] I think it made sense.
[104:26] Backhanded and then intercepted by ref
[104:28] at the line. Gets it back from her
[104:30] teammate.
[104:32] Tipped into the zone by Walter. And
[104:34] Hills once again
[104:40] makes a wise decision. Less than a
[104:42] minute left on this cross-checking minor
[104:49] as Renslo will
[104:52] sub Peralt. Another faceoff down in the
[104:56] Andover end inside of 10 minutes to go
[104:58] in this third period.
[105:01] Cougars outshooting the Huskies two to
[105:03] one. 28-4 now.
[105:06] Huskies just three shots
[105:09] in a period and a half since the end of
[105:11] the first period. Renzo's got her stick
[105:13] tied up looking for a call from the ref,
[105:15] but none came. So here come the Huskies.
[105:19] They regain the zone.
[105:22] Well played by ref to stop that Kluff
[105:26] from just off the boards and a save made
[105:30] by Ka Wland who you said hasn't had much
[105:33] to do. Just faced four shots since the
[105:35] first period.
[105:37] 15 saves tonight for the junior.
[105:48] Ball picks it up right wing corner.
[105:51] Can't get it out of her skates.
[105:54] Battling down there with Shelby Larson.
[105:57] Larson and Lily Roffler.
[106:08] helped along and then thrown on net
[106:12] >> by Shriles
[106:14] and then stolen away. Lillian Renslo
[106:16] could have a chance. Rens poked away by
[106:21] Taylor Shriles. Can see why she's a
[106:23] division one player, just a junior as
[106:26] the Cougars are full strength. Four for
[106:29] four in penalty kills tonight. Chance
[106:32] here for Kelzenberg and she whistles it
[106:34] high.
[106:37] Good zone hold there
[106:40] by the Cougars. Rensow from between the
[106:42] rings. Pad save made. Kelzenberg
[106:48] picked up eventually
[106:51] by Shriles. Her pass a little too hard
[106:54] for Raler.
[106:57] Good stick lift by Shriles.
[107:01] No doubt a lot of these kids know each
[107:03] other, having grown up in the same area,
[107:05] played with each other before.
[107:15] Trifles sees her pass deflected off a
[107:18] Cougar skate picked up by Gertis
[107:22] into the zone. Gertis waits, fires,
[107:25] bounding puck. kind of handcuffed Kaio
[107:28] Island a little bit but didn't go far
[107:30] and she was able to pounce on it and get
[107:32] the whistle.
[107:36] That hold
[107:38] lined up to block it but
[107:40] ultimately Julia Gertis stuck on 13
[107:44] goals. Andover still looking to light
[107:46] the lamp for the first time tonight.
[107:56] cleared but not out. Well, ultimately it
[107:59] was out as despite Kluff's best efforts.
[108:04] Now, a little bit of a miscommunication.
[108:06] Josie Kelzenberg trying to pounce.
[108:12] Ref along the half wall.
[108:16] >> Helped along by Wagner to the opposite
[108:19] side. Cross ice pass.
[108:22] Picked off at center ice by ref. Wagner
[108:25] into the zone. Wagner waits, holds,
[108:27] sharp angle shot. Kenberg
[108:30] tried to pounce on the rebound, but
[108:32] ultimately Hills makes the save. Stopped
[108:35] 27 of 30 shots that she's faced tonight.
[108:45] Like two shots there. I wonder if they
[108:50] 646 to go
[108:53] in the third period as the faceoff is
[108:55] one off the post. Katie Ball follow-up
[108:58] effort that goes wide.
[109:01] Ref
[109:03] back to ref at the point through traffic
[109:06] and Hills snags it and holds on.
[109:16] Each team has
[109:22] >> I should say Andover's committed three
[109:24] penalties. CSLP four.
[109:30] CSLP one for three on the power play
[109:33] tonight as that one is iced.
[109:42] Hard to believe the regular season's
[109:44] almost coming to an end, but
[109:47] we're uh
[109:49] going to be in the back half of January
[109:51] next week. We're already in the back
[109:54] half of January, but we're really going
[109:55] to be in the latter stages next week.
[109:58] And then once February hits, that's uh
[110:00] playoff time.
[110:04] Trace Logger
[110:06] shares it across. Shot from above the
[110:08] right circle. Logger was crashing
[110:12] and the nets off its mooring. So the
[110:14] whistle stops play.
[110:18] Allows both teams to make a change.
[110:28] shots in the period 10-3
[110:32] in favor of the Cougs.
[110:38] Uone at the point, throws it down low,
[110:42] deflected. That would have been a pretty
[110:43] goal if Walters had been able to pull it
[110:46] off, but ultimately handover skates back
[110:49] with it. Pass across, intercepted, well
[110:52] read beautifully by Bucha.
[110:55] now surrounded by Huskys somehow able to
[110:57] get it out.
[110:59] A pass a little bit too much though
[111:02] and it's swept back in by Dorstat.
[111:14] >> Helped along just out of the reach of
[111:16] Lillian Rensow and I don't think she's
[111:18] going to able to be able to get there.
[111:21] She'd been able to track it down. She
[111:23] might have had a breakaway, but just a
[111:25] little too far ahead of her.
[111:31] We talked about Elena Ganette. She'll
[111:33] obviously be key to have her come back
[111:36] for games against
[111:39] number three
[111:41] Minnotonka, number four Hill Murray.
[111:45] She had a uh part of the team USA squad
[111:49] that became the first team to earn a
[111:51] perfect gold in turn tournament history.
[111:54] 6 and0 60 and0 technically defeating
[111:59] Canada two nothing in the championship
[112:00] game.
[112:02] She was named the player of the game for
[112:04] a four-point effort. Two goals and a
[112:06] pair of assists in a nine nothing win
[112:09] over Finland.
[112:11] pressure this on the four check by
[112:13] Andover to force the turnover, but the
[112:14] centering pass goes Becky back up to the
[112:17] point. Shot tipped in front. Larson
[112:20] nearly redirected it in and this time
[112:22] she does.
[112:27] Iceland Larson
[112:29] collects the goal in front and it's
[112:32] three to one as Larson picks up her
[112:35] eighth of the season.
[112:42] Just right place, right time. You would
[112:44] barely know it. Great feed in front
[112:46] there from Captain Piper Andrews.
[112:51] And Andover able to uh
[112:56] get get one back with a little less than
[112:59] five minutes left to play.
[113:02] [cheering]
[113:06] An even strength goal. And now the
[113:08] Andover fans jumping a little bit.
[113:18] >> They gave Gertis the goal. Looked to me
[113:20] like Andrews, but Gertis gets the
[113:22] assist. Her team lead 17th of the
[113:25] season. 1212 time of the goal as that
[113:27] shot from the point by Buchoni is gloved
[113:30] and held on to.
[113:38] always rising, but Hills had to be sure
[113:49] >> off the draw. Trifles backhands it
[113:52] around.
[114:10] cleared but not out. Puchicone winds,
[114:13] fires and it hits a blocker in front.
[114:17] Puchicone one more time. That time
[114:20] deflected up and out of play believe
[114:23] off.
[114:26] Alexis Wagner who deflected it
[114:33] up and out of play. Stops the clock with
[114:36] 348 left
[114:42] in the third period. Mia Such wins it
[114:45] cleanly back to Buchoney at the point.
[114:48] She'll throw it on net. Turned aside
[114:50] easily by Hills and then ball run into
[114:56] Handover definitely the more physical of
[114:58] the team as far as
[115:00] far as checking and
[115:04] as close to checking as you're allowed
[115:06] to get at least in girls hockey.
[115:13] Ball loses it and now it finds its way
[115:16] to Grace Logger. Sends it across FOR MIA
[115:18] SUCH ON a hattick and she can't finish.
[115:21] just couldn't quite settle the bounding
[115:23] puck. Logger still on it.
[115:28] [screaming]
[115:29] >> Deflected shot saved.
[115:32] Ball scrapping along the end boards.
[115:35] Such on it out to Logger from the
[115:37] circle. Good blocker save made by Hills.
[115:42] Long shift for both of these teams.
[115:48] Logger
[115:49] prevents it from leaving the zone. Such
[115:52] loose in the slot. Logger
[115:55] oozes out to ref and then ref shot hits
[115:57] Logger.
[115:58] CSLP all kinds of spacing issues here on
[116:02] this possession. And they'll try to
[116:04] change on the fly. Walter hops on the
[116:07] ice and collects at center ice.
[116:10] >> Oh, well done defensively by Fensky to
[116:12] force her to the wall.
[116:15] It's
[116:18] >> about two minutes to go. Third period.
[116:21] >> Big check delivered and Wensow looked
[116:24] like she uh objected to that.
[116:29] Rens centering pass. Nobody was home.
[116:34] Carried out instead by Lily Roller.
[116:39] Wensow's been involved in a lot of the
[116:41] physicality tonight.
[116:43] >> [screaming]
[116:44] >> Tipped ahead. Walter into the path of
[116:46] Renow up ahead for trying to get Walter
[116:49] and it's stolen instead by Alexa
[116:52] Dorstan.
[116:59] 130 to go.
[117:03] Dorstad with the goalie in the uh goalie
[117:07] out. Extra attacker on.
[117:10] >> Chance for a potential empty net.
[117:17] Alexis Wagner speeding into the zone but
[117:20] loses it at the line.
[117:24] They're two bitter Northwest Suburban
[117:26] Conference rivals.
[117:28] So not surprised to see it get a little
[117:30] chippy. Shot save. Bounding puck loose
[117:33] in the slot. Hand over scrapping and
[117:37] covered well by
[117:39] Ka Wland. Curtis was in there. Hand over
[117:44] with the empty net.
[117:47] And they'll keep it empty for now
[117:50] as they got the extra attacker out
[117:52] there. An all important draw coming up
[117:54] with just 56 seconds to play.
[118:02] And a timeout taken by Andover to try to
[118:05] draw something up here.
[118:08] >> As we take a look at the upcoming
[118:09] schedule for Centennial Spring Lake
[118:12] Park,
[118:16] you see the last couple results.
[118:20] And again, Minnetonka on Thursday at
[118:24] Anoka next Tuesday. And then uh Friday
[118:28] night, January 31st, a tasty homecoming
[118:32] game against Hill Murray
[118:36] that uh features Emily Pole, who was
[118:40] teammates on Team USA with
[118:43] Elena Ganets.
[118:47] They certainly are not afraid to
[118:48] schedule anyone. Sean Molen
[118:51] will schedule anyone as Melissa Vul
[118:57] uh
[119:02] instruct her kids on what she wants them
[119:04] to do here with
[119:07] a faceoff coming in the right circle.
[119:09] Shawn Molen
[119:13] looking on. He doesn't look too
[119:14] stressed.
[119:19] allows the top defenders to be out
[119:21] there.
[119:29] Ka Win trying to focus in and pick up
[119:32] what would be her 14th win of the
[119:35] season. Outstanding numbers from Wyland
[119:39] who if nothing changes would lower her
[119:41] goals against average even more this
[119:44] season. off the faceoff
[119:48] along the endboards trying to find
[119:51] traffic in front and in fact Wy gets
[119:54] tangled up with uh Alexis Wagner the
[119:58] sophomore who was in the kitchen of Wy
[120:06] Logger such that line coming back on the
[120:09] ice for CSLP for this last 45 seconds.
[120:21] >> One back to the point. Trifles, tries to
[120:24] go down the wall and is able to.
[120:27] This hit delivered by Baone.
[120:31] Poked free. Net still empty for Andover.
[120:36] Centered backhand looking for Gurtis.
[120:39] Oh, good stick handling. Good drags from
[120:42] or dangles I should say from Bakonei.
[120:45] Such pokes it free. She's on a hattick.
[120:49] Well done there by Shriles to get in her
[120:51] way. Now Logger finds it on her stick at
[120:54] center ice. Gertis tracks back to take
[120:57] it off her stick. Good back checking
[120:59] shot from distance. Spilled out in
[121:02] front.
[121:03] Bodies crash into the end boards and
[121:06] time expires here at Centennial Sports
[121:10] Arena.
[121:12] Slow start for Centennial SLP, but they
[121:15] find their sea legs in the second period
[121:18] and they cruise to a 3 to1 victory here
[121:22] over rival Andover at home. Postgame
[121:25] interviews coming up next on North Metro
[121:27] TV. And our final score, Centennial SLP
[121:30] 3 and over one. Back with postgame
[121:34] interviews shortly here from Circle
[121:35] Pines.
[121:53] Heat.
[122:05] Heat.
[122:14] Heat.
[122:27] Heat.
[122:35] Heat. Heat.
[135:14] Back here at Centennial after Centennial
[135:17] SLP's three to1 victory over rival
[135:19] Andover. I'm here rinkside with Mia
[135:22] Such. And uh Mia, you had uh two goals
[135:26] and an assist tonight. Uh what was
[135:28] working so effectively for for that top
[135:30] scoring line? Yeah, I think just getting
[135:32] to the net, getting the puck low, and
[135:33] just overall just starting out, getting
[135:36] the puck out of the D zone and beating
[135:37] their D really helped us to get the puck
[135:39] to the goal line and into the net.
[135:41] >> Not too often that you're outsh shot 11
[135:43] to six in a period. Kind of a slow
[135:45] start. What was the message in the
[135:46] locker room at the first intermission
[135:48] that that kind of jump started you guys
[135:49] in the second period?
[135:50] >> Yeah, I think we all just realized that
[135:52] that wasn't our best play. That wasn't
[135:53] who we are and that's not who we're
[135:55] trying to be. And so, I think just
[135:57] overall we just knew that we needed to
[135:58] pick it up. We knew that we needed more
[136:00] shots and we knew that we needed to
[136:01] score and start to shut down their team.
[136:03] >> Um, you had a really aggressive kill
[136:05] tonight, four for four, a short-handed
[136:08] goal. Um, what's the what's the approach
[136:10] on the penalty kill that's allowed you
[136:12] guys to be so successful?
[136:13] >> Yeah, I think just starting by winning
[136:14] the draw and then just getting the puck
[136:16] out and just not letting them set up in
[136:17] their zone and, you know, taking every
[136:19] chance you get to try and go get a
[136:21] short-handed goal just always is nice
[136:23] and scoring on the scoring short-handed
[136:25] is always the best. So,
[136:26] >> special teams points. Yes, for sure.
[136:28] >> Also down here with uh junior net minder
[136:31] Kaia Wland. And Kaia, you know, the
[136:33] offense is so prolific, almost six
[136:35] scores goals a game that the defense
[136:37] kind of gets overshadowed sometimes, but
[136:39] uh you guys uh just another goal
[136:41] tonight, lowering that goals against
[136:43] average. Talk about the defensive effort
[136:45] tonight.
[136:45] >> Um I think our defensive effort super
[136:48] strong. I mean, obviously we're very
[136:50] offensive team. We score a ton, but I
[136:52] think for sure we get overlooked, but I
[136:54] think it's um a very like core to our
[136:56] team. Is it a challenge for you as a net
[136:58] minder knowing that like you're
[137:00] sometimes going to face two shots in a
[137:02] period like you did in the second? How
[137:03] do you maintain your focus for when
[137:05] those opportunities do come your way?
[137:07] >> I think after every whistle I always
[137:09] just skate to the corner. Um I just do a
[137:11] little reset and I always just make sure
[137:13] that I'm talking to my D and I'm just in
[137:14] the game.
[137:16] >> Eight games in a row that you have won.
[137:18] A couple over Andover, a couple over
[137:20] Holy Family. Um, as the playoffs are
[137:23] looming around the corner, you have to
[137:24] feel pretty good about how this team is
[137:26] playing right now.
[137:27] >> Yeah, I feel great. Um, I trust my team
[137:28] a ton. So, that definitely helps. And
[137:30] I'm just super excited for the upcoming
[137:32] games.
[137:32] >> How important is it going to be to get
[137:34] Elena Cassettes back from Team USA?
[137:36] >> I'm super excited to get her back and
[137:38] it's definitely going to help us out a
[137:40] lot.
[137:41] >> Not that Centennial SLP needs much help.
[137:43] They pick up their 19th win of the
[137:45] season tonight 3-1 over Andover at home.
[137:49] For our entire crew at North Metro TV,
[137:52] I'm Bill Hub saying good night from
[137:53] Circle Pines. Again, the final
[137:56] Centennial Spring Lake Park three and
[137:59] over one. Thanks for watching this
[138:00] exclusive presentation on North Metro
[138:03] TV.
