The High School Girls Hockey season is underway.  The Fergus Falls Otters hosted Wayzata on Friday night at the Community Ice Arena and the visitors had a 35-12 advantage in shots on goal, recording a 3-0 win.   Senior goalie Ana Jyrkas was outstanding in net, stopping 32 shots.

 

Morgan Kennedy scored from Jenna Britz midway through the first period to give Wayzata a 1-0 lead.  They added goals from Shyla Saunders and Mya Rasmussen 44 seconds apart in the second period to build a 3-0 lead after two.

"Jyrkas was fantastic! Get used to that quote," said Fergus Fall Head Coach Tim Lill.  "She kept us in the game against a very fast, sound and complete hockey team.  What a great opportunity to learn. Our third period had better energy and the squad didn't quit.  That comes from senior leadership.  The rest I better figure out by Thursday!  Great crowd tonight and that is always appreciated."
