Rosemount's Girls Hockey Season Comes To A Close
Irish rally from 2-0 deficit, but fall 3-2 on a short-handed goal in the closing minutes to Lakeville South in state consolation semifinals.
A short-handed goal with just over two minutes remaining in the third period spoiled a spirited rally and ended the Rosemount girls hockey team's season in a 3-2 loss to Lakeville South in the state Class AA tournament consolation semifinals on Friday morning at Ridder Arena in Minneapolis.
The Irish went down, 2-0, in the first period after giving up a pair of power-play goals to the Cougars, but battled back with a pair of tallies from Amanda Comstock and Allison Micheletti on the man advantage to knot the count at 2-2 late in the second period.
Both teams had their chances in the third period, but it was not until Reid intercepted a pass in the Rosemount end and skated the length of the rink to beat Irish goaltender Caitlin Dantzcher with the game-winner at 14:55 of the third period that the game was decided.
