Facing the Spuds on Friday, the Otters took an early lead with a score from Maddie Brimhall, assisted by Anna Rosa Sem.  Moorhead answered back two minutes later, but Sem placed the home team back in front with an assist from Maggie Greenagel.  Brimhall ended the period with a solo shot past the goalie for a little breathing room to end the first.  In the second, Brimhall wasted no time, scoring in minute one for the Hat Trick, with Averie Tonnesson earning the apple.  After some lively back-and-forth, Greenagel added another point with an unassisted goal.  The Spuds earned one back before the end of the second, and another in the final minutes of the third, but the Otter girls held on to win it 5-3.  Hometown goalie Mia Olson earned her keep and then some, stopping 27 of 30 shots on net.

 After a Saturday break, the Pemberton squad returned to the Community Arena to take on another D15 Team, Brainerd-Little Falls.  Despite outshooting the opponents 2 to 1, it was the visitors who cleared the zero first, for the only goal of the period.  Wasting no time in the second, Lydia Johnson ended the drought with an unassisted tally.  Both teams struggled to break the tie, but it was Brimhall for the Otters, at the 8 minute mark of the third to put the Otters in front.  With only a one-goal differential, Brainerd saw an opportunity to pull their goalie and tie things up.  But, the stingy Otter defense held the opponents to just 2 shots on goal in the entirety of the third period.  In the final 3 seconds, Brimhall sent a laser shot down the ice for the empty-netter, and a final score of 3-1 Otters.

Next, the 4-0 Pemberton 12UAs take the show on the road, participating in the Grand Forks 12UA Tournament Thanksgiving weekend.  Eight talented teams will be in attendance, with the Otters scheduled to take on Grand Forks, Bismarck, and the Fargo Freeze.
