Sartell pushed their defense up aggressivelyand were successful in playing an off sides trap for most of the �rst half. That kept the Cards off theboard until the 32nd minute of the �rst half when Emma Reineke scored from 10 yards out off anassist by Hailey Eggebraaten. Emma’s second goal of the night came on a one touch volley with lessthan a minute in the �rst half and again was off an assist by Hailey. The Cards showed a betterunderstanding of managing the Sartell D during the second half. 20 minutes into the second half MyahKremer sent a ball up to mid�elder Aubry Kosters, who got the ball behind the Sartell D, made a goodrun with the ball and scored with a solid shot just inside the penalty area. Hailey Eggebraaten got in onthe scoring knocking in two goals within a minute and a half. 31 minutes into the half Camille Hegstadattacked with the ball. With one defender left to beat, Camille cut the ball back and laid off an unsel�shpass for Hailey who brought the ball inside the penalty area and gave the Cards a 4-0 lead. A minuteand half later Kamryn Coauette made a run with the ball down the left �ank and cut a pass into thebox for Hailey, who was making a weakside run and buried it from 6 yards out. Sartell �nally broke theCards shut out with one minute left on the clock. Among the strong performances not seen on thescore sheet was a solid game by outside defender Georgia Reemts.
