DETROIT LAKES – The Fergus Falls girls were able to rally behind junior Megan Odland’s hat trick as they defeated the Detroit Lakes Lakers 4-1 Saturday.
The Otters notched the first goal of the game as Odland buried a Lauren Norgren pass at the 11:03 mark in the first period. Odland would add her second goal more than six minutes later off Steph Kolstad and Sydney Kuehl assists.
Fergus would hold on to their two goal lead through the second period as neither team was able to sound the buzzer.
The Lakers would finally find the net midway through the third period to cut the lead to one, but a goal by Keanna Overland put the Otters back up two keeping the Otters out of reach of the home team. Odland would not leave the game without a hat trick, scoring with 12 seconds remaining in the game.
The Otters were able to put 37 shots on goal, while goalie Jordie Salwei went 10 for 11 in the save department.
The Otter girls will look to get back over .500 as they host Central Lakes Conference opponent Willmar Thursday at 7:15 p.m.
