Lumberjacks Roll At Home, Norsemen Put Up A Fight In Aberdeen

It was a winning weekend for the Granite City Lumberjacks as they rolled the Mason City Toros at home, extending their unbeaten streak to start the season. The Norsemen faced the top team in the division, the Aberdeen Wings, and came up short in both of their games. Here's a weekend recap for both hockey teams that call the St. Cloud area home.

Granite City Lumberjacks Continue To Chop

The Lumberjacks went into the weekend welcoming the previously 4-1 Mason City Toros to the Miller Buick GMC Arena. In what should have been a serious test for the Lumberjacks, it turned into two wins, featuring multiple players scoring goals.

On Friday night, the Lumberjacks beat the Toros 5-3. The Lumberjacks went into the final period down 2-1, but used 4 goals to power past the visitors. Scoring for the Lumberjacks on Friday were:

Micah Saxon - 15:12 2nd

Eli Tiernan - 8:38 3rd

Easton Sankey - 7:52 3rd

Teagan Dodge - 4:03 3rd

Ty Smith - 00:31 3rd

Going into the game on Saturday, the Lumberjacks were 4-0, and looking to stay unbeaten. That motivation seemed to propel the team to another win over Mason City; the final on Saturday night was 4-3 in OT. Coltin Wassengeso scored the game-winner in OT. Others scoring for the Lumberjacks on Saturday night were:

Carter Oothoudt - 13:24 1st

Up next for the Lumberjacks, a long bus ride to Eveleth to take on the Minnesota Wilderness Friday and Saturday night.
