Edina came into the game on a streak of their own. They had won 11 straight games and moved up to #2 in the Staff Rakings this week. In 37 games to date, Edina had never been shut out. 

Late in the first, Edina took the first of three consecutive penalties. Six minutes of short handed time they couldn't afford being down 2-0. Fortunately for the Hornets, they were able to kill off all three penalties and leave the second period down only 2-0. 

As the third period progressed, one hockey writer got a feeling that all the Hornets needed was a goal to make the game interesting. Especially considering the fact that Orono could have lead by even more than two goals. Edina had some chances to put a scare into Orono, but was unable to penetrate the Spartan defense for any real solid scoring opportunities the third period. The Hornets registered 5 shots on goal in the third, but only one really good chance on a bouncing puck in front. The Spartans played out the string in the final half of the third period keeping the puck deep in the Edina zone whenever possible and won 2-0.

Peter Colby, Edina - had a nice game Wednesday, showed great patience with the puck and vision to find open teammates.

Garrett Mackay, Edina - made some fantastic saves, killing the perception that the Edina association has no goaltending.
