And that’ll be all for this year’s Class 1A quarterfinals.

Before we move on to the semis, there were a couple of interesting scoring trends from Day 1: The last two games of the evening, Dodge County vs. River Lakes and Holy Angels vs. Proctor-Hermantown, were both decided 2-0 — and in both games those two goals came from the same player. From Dodge County, it was top scorer Nora Christensen, and from Holy Angels, it was senior Marissa Jung.

Beyond the twin twos of the last half of the day, every quarterfinal matchup was a shutout. The early matches saw larger deficits, with Orono shutting out Fergus Falls 9-0, Warroad taking down Marshall 4-0.

See you back here tomorrow at 11 a.m., as we kick off 2A quarterfinal coverage.

Jung, the Holy Angels senior who scored her ninth and 10th goals of the season to push her team to the semifinals, is finally getting her flowers — and her teammates couldn’t be more thrilled.

Her two goals were the only points on the board in the Stars’ 2-0 takedown of Proctor-Hermantown in their quarterfinal matchup, marking her the standout of the game.

“[She] is just such a hard worker, and sometimes she doesn’t get all the credit,” said Holy Angels senior Taylor Lesnar.  “I think today was just a great opportunity for her to put it in the net. So all credit is to her. She’s really deserving of it.”

“She has an undeniable hockey IQ,” added senior goalie Zoe Rimstad. “She’s not the flashiest player, but I think the least flashy players are the ones who know where to be at the right time."

As for Jung herself, she reluctantly accepted the attention, turning the credit back to her team when she could.

“I think really, it was Taylor and Geni [Nelson],” Jung said, referencing the teammates who assisted her on each goal. “They got the puck, and I was just ready at the net.”

After two deadlocked periods, the Holy Angels Stars lifted themselves to a 2-0 victory over Proctor-Hermantown in crunch time.

The Stars, seeded fourth, advanced to the semifinals on the back of Jung, the senior forward who was responsible for both of their goals Wednesday night — both scored in the third period after a very quiet game.

The lack of scoring wasn’t for a lack of trying. Proctor-Hermantown was getting the puck off, outshooting Holy Angels 34-24, but to no avail. Credit there goes to senior captain Rimstad, the Holy Angels goalie who deftly handled a barrage of close calls from the Mirage.

The Stars are set to play top-seeded Dodge County in the semifinals. That puck drop will be at 1 p.m. Friday afternoon.

Jung, again! After netting the goal that broke the deadlock, the senior put in another, a similar-looking one off a side swipe from team scoring leader Lesnar 8:31 into the period.

On the board! Just 47 seconds into the third period, Holy Angels’ Genevieve Nelson kicked the puck out between the faceoff circles for Jung to swipe it in, to raucous applause from Holy Angels’ sizable student section (dressed in white to match their players, of course). It was Jung’s ninth goal of the season and puts the Stars up 1-0.

Well folks, no luck.

Proctor-Hermantown outshot Holy Angels 14-7, but all attempts on both ends were fruitless. The teams are deadlocked at 0-0 after the second period, and still without a single power-play opportunity.

As we head into scoring crunch time, here are a few of the teams’ highest scorers to keep a close eye on:

Proctor-Hermantown: No. 18 Jane Eckstrom, 20 goals this season; No. 10 Ella Rothe and No. 22 Mya Gunderson, both with 13 goals this season.

Holy Angels: No. 2 Taylor Lesnar, 21 goals this season; No. 21 Masyn Mullin, 19 goals this season.

All is quiet on the Xcel Energy Center front.

The game sits at 0-0 after a clean period, no penalties and power plays in sight.

The difference-makers of the silent period were the goalies, Holy Angels’ Zoe Rimstad and Proctor-Hermantown’s Neelah McLeod. The teams took nine shots on goal each, with many high-danger chances on both ends of the rink.

We’ll have to wait and see if the second period can move the needle.

The puck has dropped for the final game of the day. The winner will take on top-seeded Dodge County on Friday.

The Proctor-Hermantown cheerleaders and band made the 2½- hour trip to the Twin Cities, rooting on the team from the stands and the ice as the lineups were read.

Time for the second matchup of the night session: fourth seed Holy Angels vs. fifth seed Proctor/Hermantown. Let's take a look at how they did last go-round: 

Holy Angels was the No. 1 seed in last year’s tournament, losing in the semifinals to eventual champion Warroad. 

Proctor/Hermantown was the No. 5 seed last year, also losing to Warroad — but one round earlier, in the quarterfinals. 

The trend continues. Proctor/Hermantown was the last school to win the championship before Warroad began its back-to-back-to-back title run in 2022.

It was a win for Dodge County, but it wasn’t pretty, in Dodge County coach Jeremy Gunderson’s opinion.

"A win's a win. It was sloppy, not our best," he said. “We were just trying to go so fast instead of just keeping it simple.”

The Wildcats are ready to shake off the early nerves that come with sitting atop the seeding. Last year was their first trip to the state tournament, and they were seeded third.

“With that 1 seed, you have a little bit of that stigma. A little of that weight on your back,” Gunderson said.
