Senior goalie Kylie Schmaltz stopped 27 of 28 shots and was perfect during a late Senior High flurry of offense while her side clung to a one-goal lead.

“We always have to be aware of where 8 (Schultz) is on the ice," KnightRiders head coach Kelly Kilgore said. "We knew she was going to have the puck on her stick a lot, and we talked to the girls about taking her time and space away."
