The game was scoreless in the first half, with Chisago Lakes controlling the ball for a good part of the period. But Rylie Sternquist scored after the break with an assist by Lexi Moen, and that was all the Hornets needed for the win.

Kadyn Dilger had another outstanding game in net. The goalkeeper turned away all 16 shots by the Wildcats to pick up her fourth shutout of the season.

Last Saturday, the Hornets lost a close game to Heritage Christian Academy, 1-0.
