Milestones Highlight Prep Results [Scores Mon Mar 8]
It was a good night to celebrate stats ending in a series of zeroes. Blooming Prairie senior Megan Oswald grabbed her 1,000th career rebound in an overtime loss to Waterville-Elysian-Morristown. Owatonna junior Evan Dushek scored his 1,000th career point in a win at Northfield. OHS sophomore Ezra Oien collected her 100th career point in a hockey victory at Austin.
Oswald s milestone rebound came on her first rebound in what turned out to be an overtime thriller between the top two teams in the Gopher Conference. WEM prevailed 60-51 in overtime in a game that was tight throughout regulation with several ties down the stretch.
Owatonna Comeback Falls Short
After jumping out to a 3-0 lead, Northfield held on to top Owatonna 3-2 Thursday night at the Northfield Ice Arena in a non-conference boys hockey game. The teams will meet for a third time on Saturday, March 6 at Four Seasons in Owatonna at 7:30 pm. The Huskies beat the Raiders 4-3 on Dudley Otto Rink earlier this season.
Raider Carson VanZuilen scored three straight goals, midway through the first, early in the second and again midway through the second period. Owatonna went on a major power play late in the second after a hit knocked the Huskies Casey Pederson from the game.
Owatonna Sweeps Winona on Court, Rink
Owatonna High School girls basketball coach Lindsey Hugstad-Vaa figured Tuesday s game with Winona would be closer than the 31-point OHS victory on the road earlier this season. She felt Winona would make some adjustments. The Winhawks, playing for the first time since February 19, came through with an inspired performance, but Owatonna still won 57-50.
Trailing 8-4 Owatonna went on a 12-1 run but any thoughts of a blowout were dashed by the three-point shooting of the Winhawks who hit a staggering nine treys and hardly missed from outside the arc. The Huskies never trailed after that outburst, but Winona got within one point several times through the rest of the game.
