The Jr. Rustlers delivered a dominant performance from start to finish, blanking the Phantoms Female Hockey team 3-0 in a game they controlled in every facet. The tone was set early with a physical edge, as a charging minor to Ava Rawlake and a cross-checking minor to the Phantoms' Elianna Holovach just 1:24 into the first period signaled a feisty contest. The Rustlers quickly translated their energy into offense, outshooting the Phantoms 12-5 in the opening frame. Their pressure paid off at the 16:33 mark when Payton Boulianne, wearing number 12, opened the scoring with an even-strength goal. She was set up perfectly by Bentley Baier and Abigail Herle, giving the Rustlers a lead they would never relinquish.
The second period saw the Rustlers extend their command, adding two more goals while continuing to stifle the Phantoms' attack. Just over three minutes into the period, Addison Boulianne, number 8, found the back of the net with assists from Alanna Schwartz and Tana Brander. The Rustlers' offensive depth was on full display when Hailey Peters, number 15, scored an unassisted goal with 5:34 left in the period to make it 3-0. The Phantoms struggled to generate a sustained response, managing only six shots in the period against the Rustlers' 13. A trip by Maya Macnab midway through the period was a minor blemish for the home side, but their penalty kill, backed by a stellar goaltending performance, held firm.
Goaltender Parker Fritz was the impenetrable wall for the Jr. Rustlers, turning aside all 17 shots she faced to earn a well-deserved shutout victory. While the Phantoms' Eden Vols faced a barrage, making 30 saves on 33 shots, her team could not solve Fritz at the other end. The third period saw the Rustlers manage the game effectively, killing off a trip penalty by Hayze Bensmiller and weathering a late holding minor by the Phantoms' Kira Standing. The final buzzer confirmed a comprehensive 3-0 win for the Jr. Rustlers, a victory built on offensive balance, defensive discipline, and a flawless performance between the pipes by Parker Fritz.
