The Worthington Trojans boys hockey team was shut out for the third consecutive game Tuesday night as it was defeated by visiting Redwood Valley 7-0.

The Trojans and Cardinals battled to a scoreless draw through nearly all of the first period before Sam Klabunde scored with 49.3 seconds remaining for a 1-0 edge. It remained 1-0 until 51.2 seconds were left in the second period, when Redwood Valley's Blaine Jacobson scored on an assist from Peter Fox to make it 2-0.

WHS had emergency goalkeeper Trey Milbrath in net as a result of injuries, illness and one player out of town.  He stopped 18 of 20 shots through the first two periods, but the Cardinals tallied five goals in the final stanza, including three in just over two minutes. Redwood Valley, now 4-12, outshot the Trojans, now 2-16, 32-27 in the game.
