The Proctor-Hermantown Mirage edged the Cloquet-Esko-Carlton Lumberjacks on Monday, winning the match-up 2-1.

All of the scoring would happen in the first period of the game. Proctor-Hermantown would get on the scoreboard first as Reilly Fawcett netted one off a pass from Sophie McGovern to give them the 1-0 lead at the 10 minute mark of the 1st period.

Just 2 minutes later, C-E-C would respond, with Kailey Buhr notching it up 1-1 with assists from Cassandra Inman and Jade Alvillar. But Fawcett was at it again for the Mirage as she netted the game winner in the 1st period off passes from McGovern and Jillayne Gilbert, giving them the 2-1 victory.

In the goals for both teams, C-E-C’s Stacy Nelson stopped 13 shots while Proctor-Hermantown’s Kylie Hommerding blocked 24.

The Mirage improve to 13-9 on the season and will look for another win when they travel to play the Moose Lake Area Rebels (12-7-2) on January 23rd. The Lumberjacks fall to 4-14-2 on the season and will look to get back on the winning track when they play the Duluth Northern Stars (10-9-1) on January 23rd.
