The Final Task For A Madison Road Trip

The 2014 Sectional Finals will start Friday evening with two games and continue on Saturday with two more.

Section 1 - Friday

Superior Spartans

Scoring - Devyn Moss 5g, 1a; Emma Peterson 1g, 5a; Amanda Hinaus 1g, 2a; Kali Krivinchuk 2g, 1a; Ari Jago 2g 1a; Samantha Young 2g, 0a; Jordyn Thompson 1g, 1a; Paige Harker 0g, 1a and Tina Lurndal 0g 1a

Goaltending - Justine Stenberg 65 saves out of 70 shots on goal for a .929 save percentage and a 2.50 goals against average.

St. Croix Valley Fusion

Scoring - Hanna Zevenbergen 2g, 1a; Maddie Rowe 2g, 1a; Courtney Kempf 0g, 2a; Emma VanDell 0g 1a; Tori Forseth 0g 1a; Taylor Magill 0g 1a; Andrea Eliason 1g, 0a; Allie Demotts 1g, 0a

Goaltending - Carlie Christensen 51 saves out of 52 shots on goal for a .981 save percentage and a 0.50 goals against average.

These two teams played on February 8th for their only meeting on the season.  The Fusion won that game 6-3.  Andrea Eliason led the way for the Fusion with 4 goals, while Emma Peterson had 2 goals for the Spartans.  Justine Stenberg stopped 44 of 50 shots, while Carlie Christensen saw 32 shots and stopped 29 of them.

Superior has had an up and down season.  They have dealt with more than their share of injuries this year and seem to be getting back in stride.  Justine Stenberg has had many games, where she has played exceptional between the pipes.

The Fusion don’t have the standout scorer this season, which they had in their three trips to Madison.  However, they do have a balanced attack with 3 or 4 players that step in to fill the void.  Also, they have Carlie Christensen in net and have confidence in her to be able to keep the opponent off the board.

Section 2 - Saturday

Northland Pines Eagles

Scoring - Cali Sanborn 2g, 1a; Jessie Wilkins 0g, 2a; Emily Saltenberger 2g, 0a; Allison Sauvola 1g, 1a; Kali Ebert 1g, 1a; Sallie Spencer 1g, 1a and Amanda Sergent 0g, 1a

Goaltending - Jenna Paez (102 minutes) 23 saves on 25 shots for a .920 save percentage and a 1.00 goals against average

Central Wisconsin Storm

Scoring - Alex Guenther 1g, 5a; Kelly Knetter 3g, 2a; Elizabeth Bauer 0g, 5a; Katelynn Schilling 4g, 1a; Maggie Plaza 2g, 2a; Megan Marlowe 2g, 1a; Marissa Matushak 1g, 2a; Ashley Zacho 0g, 3a; Savannah Felch 2g, 1a; Katelyn Ramthun 0g, 3a; Taylor Treu 0g, 2a; Emily Bauer 0g, 2a; Isabelle Uhl-Chmiel 0g, 2a; Arielle Reidel 1g, 1a; Teagen Tretter 1g, 0a; Michaela Zingler 1g, 0a and Jamie Henrickson 1g, 0a

Goaltending - Lisa Fowle (75 minutes) 9 saves on 9 shots; Renee Hosler 2 saves on 2 shots.

These two teams played each other in the middle of January and the Storm won the game 7-1.  The Eagles were outshot 42 to 7 in the game.

Northland Pines has held their opponents to 25 shots through the first two games of the playoffs.  They played an extremely close game against the Northern Edge and advance with a 2-1 win.

The Storm have not allowed a goal in the playoffs and have only allowed 11 shots on goal through both of their playoff games.  This has been a staple of the Storm teams and opponents only average around 12 shots on goal per game.

Section 3 - Saturday

Middleton Metro Lynx

Scoring - Maegan Sheehan 1g, 3a; Amanda Holman 4g 0a; Jordann Herrling 2g, 0a; Ellie Bohm 0g, 2a; Anna Schieldt 0g, 1a; McKenzie Imhoff 0g, 1a; Julia Dragoo 0g, 1a; Samantha Dingle 0g, 1a and Siera Petet 1g, 0a

Goaltending - Hunter Kurbel (102 minutes) 32 saves on 36 shots for an .889 save percentage and a 2.00 goals against average

Onalaska Hilltoppers

Scoring - Theresa Knutson 5g, 5a; Mackenzie Steinfadt 3g, 2a; Chazlyn Anderson 2g, 2a; Jamie Weilandt 1g, 2a; Taylor Monroe 3g, 0a; Jacyn Reeves 1g, 2a; Kyla Bantle 1g, 2a; Lucy Anderholm 1g, 1a; Mariah Nichols 1g, 1a; Kianna Kalmes 0g, 2a; Santana Hanson 2g, 0a; Kelsey Seiler 0g, 2a; Abbey Hoins 0g, 1a and Morgan Gargaro 0g, 1a

Goaltending - Jeanalyn Schindler (84 minutes 10 seconds) 21 saves on 22 shots for a .955 save percentage and a 0.61 goals against average.  Alli Christenson (17 minutes 50 seconds) 1 save on 1 shot.

This will be the second time these two teams have played.  Onalaska won the meeting during the regular season 5-2 and are looking for their third trip to the Mad City in three years.  Onalaksa is led by Theresa Knutson on offense and in order to defeat the Hilltoppers you need to slow Knutson down.  However, the Hilltoppers do have Jacyn Reeves and Jamie Weilandt to help pick up the offense if the need arises.  Reeves has been stellar on defense after having been moved late in the season.

The Lynx have been led in scoring during the playoffs by Amanda Holman with four goals.  Holman had 8 goals and 3 assists during the regular season.  Jordann Herrling led the Metro Lynx with 12 goals during the regular season.

Section 4 - Friday

USM Wildcats

Goaltending - Jaime Hathaway (102 minutes) 26 saves on 27 shots for a .963 save percentage and a 0.50 goals against average.

Bay Area Ice Bears

Scoring - Kelsey Rafferty 4g, 2a; CourtneyWittig 2g, 2a; Tanya Niemi 1g, 3a; Nicole Niemi 1g, 3a; Morgan Zirbel 0g, 3a; Johanna Cano 1g, 2a; Megan Saari 2g, 0a; Jackie Spencer 1g, 0a; Kira Gunville 0g, 1a; Paige Goodwin 0g, 1a; Miranda Dreckschmidt 0g, 1a; Allie Hartter 1g, 0a and Christa Makela 1g, 0a

Goaltending - Lindsey Strainis (68 minutes) 11 saves on 13 shots for an .846 save percentage and 1.50 goals against average.  Audrie Murphy 3 saves on 3 shots

This will be the third meeting between the two teams.  Bay Area has won the two previous games (2-1 and 5-3) with both games being on their home ice.  The Ice Bears have one loss this season that was their season opener against the Central Wisconsin Storm.  USM had three losses during the regular season, 2 at the hands of the Ice Bears and 1 to the Central Wisconsin Storm.
