Last week, Becker-Big Lake went up against Highland Park and lost by four goals. 

 

During the first period, the opposing team scored first. Then, a Highland Park penalty resulted in a powerplay goal by Tyler Schmitt, with assists from Ethan Orgon and Jacob Bahe. Despite Eagles out shooting the other team (17 to 6), Highland Park scored again. 

 

During the second period, the visiting team scored three times, while the Eagles only scored once. Then, Corbin Kollar made a goal off a defenseman’s skate, assisted by Ethan Orgon. However, Highland Park scored a minute later to end the second period at 5 to 3. 

 

In the third period, the Eagles received two penalties. The Eagles killed off those power plays. Tyler Schmitt scored on awarded penalty shot, but Highland Park scored two more times. The final score was 7 to 3. 

 

“The Becker-Big Lake team had trouble keeping forward high in offensive zone resulting in easy runs down the ice by Highland Park. We did pretty well with one penalty in each of the first two periods. We lost focus and took three penalties in the third. Unfortunately, the Eagles let another conference game get away despite outshooting them 36 to 31,” commented Coach Jason Hartfiel.
