BSM junior varsity drops sixth one-goal game
Rooney stops 18 of 20 in Red Knight defeat.
Mark Kaske scored his 12th goal of the season to account for BSM's lone goal.
Elk River scored twice on special teams in the second period to overcome Benilde-St. Margarets' first-period lead to claim the consolation title of the Sports Authority Holiday Hockey Classic with a 2-1 victory.
Mark Kaske put the Red Knights on top just two minutes, 27 seconds into the game when he knocked home a Jerry Calengor rebound and the lead would hold until the 6:34 mark of the second period, when the Elks' Dylan Bouten scored on the power play.
The game appeared headed for a 1-1 tie into the second intermission but, with BSM on the power play, Elk River caught the Red Knights on a line changed and Briggs Leadens scored on a breakaway with 10 seconds on the clock for the eventual game winner.
Patric Rooney stopped 18 of 20 shots, including all 14 even-strength shots by the Elks.
BSM returns to action after the new year by hosting Wayzata in a 5 p.m. game, Thursday, at the Rec Center.
