Trojans boys hockey team earns win; girls defeated

The Worthington Trojans boys hockey team, competing in the first of two games in a tournament in Wahpeton, North Dakota, defeated Bagley by a score of 7-5 on Tuesday night.


After falling behind, 2-0, in the first period, Andrew Benson got the Trojans on the board with an unassisted goal at the 9:08 mark. Then, with slightly more than four minutes gone by in the second period, Dawson Duangepai scored to knot the game at two-apiece, and Blake Ahrenstoff made it 3-2 Trojans at 7:49 of the second on assists from Alec Langerud and Blake Luinenburg.


Bagley would get even at 3-3, but WHS quickly answered with a shorthanded goal by Luinenburg for a 4-3 edge. Still in the second period, Bagley would again tie the game, but a power play goal by Benson on passes by Luinenburg and Spenser Nickel made it 5-4.


Langerud gave the Trojans a 6-4 advantage a little less than five minutes into the third period with a goal on assists from Konner Honius and Benson. Bagley closed to within 6-5, but Benson completed his hat trick late in the game to ice it for WHS.


The Trojans, now 5-3 on the season, won despite being outshot 42-30. They will play Breckenridge/Wahpeton at 3:15 p.m. today.
