Senior Brycen Berg got his 14th goal of the season to give the Cardinals a 1-0 advantage 8:13 into the first period. Senior Josiah Gronholz received a pass from Junior Tyler Kludt, beat a defender and slipped the puck over to Berg for a backdoor tap in.

Late in the second period it was Josiah Gronholz beating a defender wide and tucking the puck in on the far side for a short-handed wraparound goal.

Sauk Rapids would cut into the 2 goal deficit 2:44 into the 3rd period but the Cardinals team defense was too strong and didn’t allow any more goals the rest of the game.

Senior Gabe Evink made the start between the pipes and made 25 saves on 26 shots. The Cardinals outshot the Storm 33-26 in the contest.

The Cards look to extend their 2 game winning streak Monday night as Little Falls comes to town in a redemption game from earlier this season where Little Falls was able to overcome a 5 goal deficit to win 7-6 in overtime. JV starts at 5:30 and Varsity starts at 7:15 at the Runestone Community Center.
