Both teams battled early in the first half with the Comets creating several scoring opportunities.  The Crusaders scored with eight minutes remaining in the half, on a pass up the middle, splitting the Comet defense, leaving Senior Captain, Cole Peterson, alone in net in a one on one situation.   The Crusaders scored twice in the second half.

The Comets had six shots on goal compared to Cathedral’s 13. 

“The Comets were tested against a tough, fast, physical, team in this contest,” commented Hillcrest Head Coach Rod Jensen.  “We were wore down during the game due to the Crusaders physicality, which we fully expected.  Overall it was a good teaching experience for our team as a whole, understanding firsthand the level of competition in our section.”

The Comets, now 2-2, take on the East Grand Forks Green Wave, at 4:30pm Monday, at home.
