Tough Night For Stars Hoops, Spartans Girls Hockey

Friday night was a tough one for Holy Angels basketball teams as well as the Richfield girls hockey squad as neither of the three were able to muster up a victory in their respective games.

Richfield Girls Hockey: Mahtomedi 7, Spartans 1

A four-goal third period turned a close game into a rout as the Mahtomedi girls hockey team topped Richfield, 7-1, in a Classic Suburban Conference matchup at the St. Croix Rec Center in Stillwater, MN.

The score was tied, 1-1, after the first period as forward Alyson Niesen recorded the Spartans' lone goal of the contest at 14:18 of the opening frame. However, it was all Zephyrs from there as the hosts launched 54 shots on goaltender Rebecca Henrickson in the Richfield net, scoring twice in the second period and four more times in the final frame.

Richfield managed just 15 shots in the game and dropped to 4-10-3 overall and 0-3 in the conference. Next up for the Spartans is a trip to Polar Arena to face North St. Paul Jan. 21 at 8 p.m.
