“Other than a couple of mental mistakes, our team played hard and aggressive throughout the game,” commented Hillcrest Head Coach Rod Jensen.  “I was pleased that our team defense was able to stop the Viking forward attacks that gave us problems in our last outing, a week ago.  Our offense was able to create several scoring opportunities and the game was much closer than the score revealed, I believe.”

In JV action the Comets won 3-0, with Matt Knutson scoring twice along with one goal by Zane Holmquist.  Drew Fischer contributed a couple nice assists in the game.

The Comets now 9-3-1, take on the Detroit Lakes Lakers on Thursday at home.
