Saturday saw the Mirage take on another state power in Hopkins/Park at Minnetonka Ice Arena and the Mirage picked up a 4-2 win and improved to 2-1 on the season.

Proctor-Hermantown used three different goal scorers in the victory, as , Brionna Stafne, scored twice for the Mirage and Talynn Miller, and Olyvia Opsahl also scored for the Mirage.
