Team South Dakota 16U girls would open up the USA Hockey National Tournament with a 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Jr. Flyers on Wednesday in St. Louis.
Team SD would score the first goal of the game in the first as Sioux Falls’ Halle Watson would score from her Flyer teammates Lucy Nelson and Emma Honner. Watertown’s Emma Schleusner would make it 2-0 midway through the second and Honner made it 3-0 after two periods. Sioux Center’s Riya Brenner made it 4-0 late in the third period before Philadelphia picked up its lone goal seconds later to make it 4-1, but Brookings’ Avery Dentlinger would not allow another goal stopping 18 of 19 shots in the win for Team SD. South Dakota outshot the Flyers 32-19 in the game.
Team South Dakota will face Mid Fairfield Connecticut Stars this morning with a 9:15 AM puck drop.
