Junior Trisha Wendlandt was the goaltender for River Lakes against Willmar and made 37 saves.

For the Cardinals, Kelly Sykora scored two goals - one in the first period assisted by her sister Megan Sykora and the other in the second to give Willmar a 2-0 lead.

Also, Megan Dubal added a goal and an assist for the Cardinals.

Against Sartell, the Sabres turned the tables on the Stars. River Lakes had beaten Sartell 3-2 in overtime in December.

The same scenario, with a reversed outcome, happened on Thursday. With the game tied 2-2, Sartell's Britney Beck scored a shorthanded goal midway through the eight-minute overtime period. Beck scored two goals for Sartell, including the game winner.

For River Lakes, ninth grader Amber Schultzenberg scored a goal and had an assist. Junior Marena Lewis scored the other goal.

"We showed improvment since the first time we played them. They just had a few lucky puck bounces," said head coach Kirby St. John. "If we would have been lucky, too, the game would have been very different."

The Stars, now 7-12-1 for the season, outshot Sartell 42-17.

This week, the Stars played at Benson on Tuesday night. They will play at Alexandria on Thursday in their last regular season game.
