Recap: The Breck Girls Hockey team lost a 1-0 heartbreaker to
Shakopee on Wednesday night.  The teams ended regulation time 
tied 0-0.  Each team had a goal disallowed in the game.  
Shakopee scored halfway into the overtime period, as a shot 
going wide of goal from the right point was inadvertently 
steered into the goal by a Breck player who was attempting to 
steer the puck behind the goal.  With the goal, the Breck 
seniors were bid farewell, Captains Christina Twomey, Britt 
Kittelsen and Lauren Bolles, along with defender Katie Fannon. 

Tri-Metro:  The conference did not do well in the second round 
of the playoffs as the Tri-Metro Champion & Section 4 (#2-seed) 
St. Paul Blades were beaten by the (#7) Forest Lake Rangers 5-
2.  (Note-Forest Lake was the best team the Mustangs faced this 
year.  They outshot us 37-6, including a 20-0 first period.  How 
they could be ranked #7 in their section is a surprise to me).  

Also losing in their first games:
	Stillwater 5, St. Paul United 2
	Eagan 12, Cretin-Derham Hall 1
	Irondale 10, Minnehaha Academy 1

The only conference winner was Blake by a 4-2 score over 
Chaska.  Blake will now play top-seeded Bloomington Jefferson on 
Wednesday.  

Jefferson was a 4-1 winner over Shakopee on Friday night.  
Jefferson outshot the Sabers 55-5, but Shakopee's eighth-grade 
goalie Robin Doepke kept the Sabers close by saving 49, 
including all 25 shots she faced in the third period.  Doepke 
was lifted in the final minute to allow senior goaltender Jenny 
McGrath (2 saves) to finish the game.
