How it Happened
The Saints, who tied the Raiders 1-1 on Friday, took a 1-0 lead in the first period on a
Zack DeBoom (Hibbing, Minn./Hibbing HS (Granite City-NA3HL)) goal.
Mike Nolan (Aldergrove, British Columbia/Yale Secondary (Fresno-WSHL)) and
Tyler Hinterser (Edwardsville, Ill./Edwardsville HS (Brookings-NAHL)) had the assists. CSS led despite being out-shot 12-5.
St. Scholastica extended its lead to two goals eight minutes into the second period on a Hinterser goal.
