Girls hockey: Otters catch Spuds
Published 10:27 p.m., November 17, 2009
They simply wouldn’t go down.
After leveling the score for the second time late in the second period, the Fergus Falls girls hockey team netted the game-winning goal midway through the final stanza and defeated rival Moorhead 3-2 Wednesday afternoon.
“We just kept battling back,” Fergus Falls coach Brian Vatnsdal said. “We did what we needed to do in the end and pulled out the victory.”
The Otters fell behind 1-0 and 2-1 before Taylor McClafflin knotted the score at 2-2 with her first career varsity goal just 32 seconds before the end of the second period.
After the teams battled back-and-forth to start the third, Tayler Vatnsdal slipped a shot past the Spuds goalie with 7 minutes, 52 seconds on the clock during a power play, scoring what turned out to be the game-winning goal.
Vatnsdal is one of several upperclassmen on the roster for the Otters.
“We have a lot of girls with varsity experience,” coach Vatnsdal said. “I think that’s going to help us this season.”
Amy Magnusson’s short-handed goal at the 2:47-mark of the first tied the score at 1-1.
The Spuds opened the scoring at the 13:50-mark of the first.
Karlee Werre registered 17 saves for Fergus Falls between the pipes.
The Otters (2-0) host Totino-Grace Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m.
