The Superior High School girls hockey team came out on the short end of a 2-0 final score Monday night against the Duluth Northern Stars at Pioneer Hall in Duluth.
Duluth's Lauren Braiedy scored at 16:21 of the first period and Gina Dodge scored on a power play at 14:30 of the third period to account for the game's scoring.
"It was a good, physical game," SHS coach Scott VanDamme said. "We had some opportunities in the first period, but we just didn't capitalize.
"We gave up a power-play goal late, but overall, our penalty kill did a good job and I thought we played very well."
Janine Seifert finished with 18 saves for Superior and Laura Bellamy had 14 saves for Duluth.

Superior had five minor penalties and Duluth six.
Superior is back in action Thursday against Proctor-Hermantown-Marshall at 7 p.m. at Mars Lakeview Arena in Duluth.
"We have our work cut out for us again Thursday," VanDamme said. "But playing five tough games in a row will only toughen us up and help us in the long run."
