The Jr. Rustlers skated to a decisive 2-0 victory over the Phantoms Female Hockey, anchored by a perfect performance from goaltender Allie Hillis. Hillis, wearing #70, was an impenetrable wall, turning aside all 14 shots she faced to secure a shutout win. The Rustlers' offense set the tone early, with Bentley Baier (#18) opening the scoring at the 7:43 mark of the first period. That unassisted, even-strength goal proved to be the game-winner, as the Phantoms struggled to solve Hillis throughout the contest.
The Rustlers' special teams sealed the deal in the second period. Despite being shorthanded due to a tripping penalty on Baier, they struck again. Just 47 seconds into the period, Addison Boulianne (#8) found the back of the net, assisted by Harper Clark (#77), to double the lead. The middle frame was a parade to the penalty box for both sides, with the Rustlers taking four minors and the Phantoms being assessed a bench minor for too many men. The Phantoms' best chance to capitalize came during a 5-on-3 power play late in the period, but they could not beat the stellar Hillis.
The third period saw the Phantoms' frustration mount, as they managed only three shots on goal. Physical play escalated, resulting in matching roughing minors for the Phantoms' Quinn Olszewski (#6) and the Rustlers' Harper Clark with just over a minute to play. Phantoms netminder Ellaina Young (#1) played valiantly in the loss, facing a barrage of 23 shots and allowing only the two goals. In the end, the story was the dominance of Allie Hillis and the Rustlers' defense, which smothered the Phantoms' attack from start to finish to claim the clean-sheet victory.
