ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn. -- Class AA fifth-ranked Benilde-St. Margaret's and Class A second-ranked Hermantown got into a shootout, but the hosts scored the game's final three goals, snapping a 3-3 tie and rolling onto a 6-3 win.

Caleb Koskie recorded his second consecutive hat trick to pace the offense while Mason McElroy turned aside 33 of 36 shots.

Koskie scored the game's first two, giving BSM a 2-0 lead, one minutes, 35 seconds into the second frame.

Hermantown responded by scoring twice in a 1:14 span but Westan Quirk scored with 1:50 to play in the middle frame, giving the hosts a one-goal lead heading into the final frame.

Once again, the Hawks tied the game, just 25 seconds into the third period, when Ford Skytta scored his second goal of the game.

Less than four minute later, Liam Moser put the Red Knights ahead for good when Cam Kirschner left a drop pass at the blue line on a 3-on-2 rush, and then headed to the net, bringing a pair of Hawks with him.

As the trio of players passed in front of the net, Moser shot through the screen and the home team would keep the lead from then on at Noah Johnson and Caleb Koskie, who completed his hat trick, put the game away.
