Team South Dakota 14U Girls would grab another 6-1 win on Thursday to move to 2-0 at the USA Hockey Tier II National Tournament.
Team SD would blitz the Massena River Queens with a 3-0 lead at the end of the first period before making it 4-1 after two. Sioux Falls’ Halle Watson would net a hat trick in the win as she has scored five of Team SD’s 12 goals through two games. Avalea Weber would get the win in her first start of the tournament making 18 saves on 19 shots as Team SD outshot its opponent 34-19. The second win clinches a spot in Saturday’s quarterfinals regardless of the outcome of Friday’s game. Lucy Nelson, Maci Cannigieter and Taylor Sorben would also score for South Dakota.
Team SD will finish pool play at 2:00 Central Time today facing the Philadelphia Little Flyers who are also 2-0 in the tournament.
