13 seconds later, Chesney Miller put in her first of the season with Ashlin Stewart & Payton Lisk receiving assists on the play.
Emily Russett, Sabra Cannon & Lily Van Geel all had 3 shots each in the loss for the Storm.
This was a terrific effort for the Predators who played a complete team game and really worked hard in all 3 zones.
Excellent defensive play for Morgan Daries & Gracie Wheeler on the blue line and Gillian Warren had 3 breakaways in the game but was denied all 3 times.
Payton Lisk was showing her muscles along the boards winning battle after battle and Marissa Rouse had her best game of the season playing well in both ends of the ice.
Congrats girls on the great play and your new winning streak!
