First up was the boys game as Luke Horton scored a hat trick to lead the Benilde-St. Margaret's Red Knights to a 4-1 win over the St. Louis Park Orioles.
Horton, who is also a member of the Red Knights boys hockey team took three shots at the Oriole net in the first half. His first shot was saved by St. Louis Park goalkeeper Luis Sanchez, the second went wide right and the third hit the left goalpost. BSM got on the board when Nick Burns went along the left side and fired it into the goal. The fourth try would be the charm for Horton as his first goal put the Red Knights ahead by two with 2:30 to go in the first half.
There would be some good news for the Orioles in the second half as Jacob Stillman went through the center slot and scored to cut the Red Knight lead to one. But the good news would turn to bad for St. Louis Park as Horton scored the game's final two goals to clinch the win.
BSM improved their record to 6-6-3 and concludes their regular season as the host the Minneapolis Washburn Millers on saturday, October 8 at 7 PM. St. Louis Park fell to 3-9-3 and also wraps up their regular season on the 8th when they host the Buffalo Bison in a noon game.
It was "Monsoon Soccer" for the girls game as the rain came down pretty hard and the St. Louis Park Orioles got goals from Samantha Baer and Alex Balfour to upset the top ranked team in Class A the Benilde-St. Margaret's Red Knights 2-0.
Baer would give the Orioles the early lead with the lone first half goal from the right side.
In the second half, St. Louis Park played strong defense to prevent BSM from sending the game into overtime. The Orioles would get an insurance goal from Balfour as the rain came down harder and harder.
The Orioles extended their unbeaten streak to 10 games and conclude their regular season with a 9-4-1 record. The Red Knights fell to 10-4-1 and host the Mahtomedi Zephyrs on Saturday, October 8 to end their regular season at 5 PM.
