Lexi Metcalf stopped 27 of the 32 shots on goal by St. Cloud.  Fergus Falls managed 24 shots on goal in the contest.

“We aren’t a talented enough team to just show up and expect wins,” said Head Coach Tim Lill of the Otters.  “We learned a lot about ourselves tonight and what needs to be done moving forward. I'm proud of the battle we gave in the third period.  Onward.”

The Otters (3-4) will host Willmar on Thursday night.
