In the second period Kate Dixon got the puck to Corey Turner who passed to Cody Dixon in front and he found the back of the net for the Senators. A couple minutes later Devin Greenfield stopped a Northstar clearing pass and smashed the puck past the Northstar's goalie. In the third the Northstars did get a goal on a low hard smash from near center by defenseman Robbie Welch spoiling Senator's goalie Olivia Ricketts shutout bid.

Penguins 3 Bruins 1

Niether team was able to score in the first period , but at 7:03 of the second Josh Sanchez took a pass that had bounced off a Bruin defender and smashed it into the net to give the Penguins the lead. In the last few seconds of the same period though the Bruins tied it up on a Harlee Houghton goal that deflected in off of a Penguin defender's leg. In the third the Penguins got the lead back on a Matt Wehr blast from out near center and then a Rodney Bement goal finished the scoring to insure the victory. Both goalies, Zackary Rosenberger for the Penguins and Jennifer Powers for the Bruins, played well.

Blackhawks 4 Rangers 0

The Blackhawk forwards got in behind the Ranger D twice in the first period for goals by Tyler Kerjes and Jacob Brighton to take the lead. Andrew Brighton scored again for them in the second and Drew Allen had one in the third period on a pretty passing play from the Brighton boys. The Rangers didn't get as many chances at the Hawk net due to some excellent defense, but Kenny Christopher in goal for them made some important stops to really earn the shutout and send the Blackhawks into the next round of the playoffs.

Red Wings 2 Maple Leafs 1 OT

The Red Wings took the lead early in the first on a goal by Tanner Brownell and the score stayed that way until with 3:03 left in the third Pashka Mishintook a Jenna Benedict pass and broke in on the Wing goalie all alone and tied the score. The game went into overtime with the Leafs pressing for most of the first couple of minutes, but at 7:42 of the OT the Red Wing's Wyatt Ledford took a pass from Matt Christianson and bounced it into the net to give the Wings the win.

SENATORS 4 RED WINGS 2

The Red Wings jumped off to an early first period lead on a Wyatt Ledford goal from Tanner Brownell and Matt Christianson, but with only 17 seconds left in the period the Senators got even on a Gunner Tobias score from Nick Iszler and Corey Turner. It stayed tied for most of the second, then with a little over a minute to go in that period Iszler lifted one into the top part of the Wing net. The Senators got a second goal in the period with only 5 seconds to go when Cody Dixon smacked one in that Izler and Turner assisted on. In the middle of the period third nice pass from the defense by Tesla Meade sprung Greg Glass loose and he shot one passed Senator goalie Olivia Ricketts to make it a one goal game. The Red Wings pressed hard and forced Ricketts to make some key saves, but finally with only a couple minutes left Iszler scored again with assists going to Tobias and Greenfield to put the game on ice.

PENGUINS 4 BLACKHAWKS 3

The Blackhawks took the lead early in the first on a Troy Allen goal set up by Andrew Brighton. Less than a minute into the second period the same two combined again to put the Hawks up by two. At about the midpoint of the second however Josh Sanchez scored with Rod Bement and Tad Mead assisting and early in the third Sanchez did it again with help from Rod bement and Matt Wehr. At 5:48 Ryan Myall put one across the goal line on a pass from Mike Foley. The Blackhawks were able to tie it back up with 1:04 remaining on a shorthanded goal by Tyler Kerjes, but seconds later Foley got the puck from Wehr out near the centerline and scorched a hard shot that went just inside the post to give the Penguins the win.

\\FINAL GAME//

Senators 7 Penguins 0

The Penguins played tough, but a combination of great offensive attack, defensive play, and goal tending from the Senators made the score onesided. Devin Greenfield had athe first goal and five assists to lead the attack for the Senators. Gunner Tobias had a hat trick, while Cody Dixon, Nick Iszler, and Corey Turner also had goals. Goalie Olivia Ricketts made some impressive saves to preserve the shutout, but the Senator defense of Jake Clark, Alexandria Ermel, and Kyle Fletcher in particular kept the Penguin offensive players on the outside for most of the game.
