Friday night was a big night for Johnny Sorenson, who got a hat trick and was part of a five goal second period that led the St. Louis Park Orioles to a 9-1 win over the Waconia Wildcats at The Rec Center.
The Orioles got their first goal on the power play when Bauer Neudecker's shot was saved by the Wildcat goalie Trevor Rowe and Sorenson's shot from the left corner boards entered the net. Waconia would tie the game on Jack Kittelson's rebound goal from the center slot. It would be the only time the Wildcats would cross the goal line that night as St. Louis Park would forge ahead on Austin Stafne's right side goal with 2:24 left in the period.
The second period would start like the first as the Orioles would strike again with a power play goal. Brenton Ryan rebounded Willy Basill's shot to put them ahead by two. The Orioles would add four more goals to their ledger. Luke Mobley rebounded his own shot and put the puck past Rowe. Ryan would rise again after he got a pass from Blake Neudecker, cut inside the center slot and scored his second goal. Sorenson would score his second goal after Stafne's shot from the right corner boards was saved by Rowe and the junior positioned himself on the right of Rowe and sent it into the net. Even the St. Louis Park reserves got into the scoring mix. Conor Schubring passed to Benji Wyberg on the right point and he lined it into the net for his first goal of the season.
Running time would take place in the third period with the Orioles ahead 7-1. But the scoring didn't end just yet. The Brothers Neudecker would combine for goal number eight as Blake made a right side pass to Bauer on the right side and Bauer drove it inside the cage. The scoring would end four minutes later when Sorenson scored the hat trick on a center slot goal.
Both teams changed goalies in the third period. Gavin Grams replaced Rowe for Waconia and William Phinney relieved Atticus Raasch for St. Louis Park.
The Orioles improved their record to 15-4 and begin a three game road trip Saturday, January 28 at 1 PM against the St. Paul Academy Spartans at Drake Arena. The Wildcats lost their sixth straight game and fell to 3-15. They return to action on Tuesday, January 31 against the New Prague Trojans at the Waconia City Ice Arena at 7 PM. The Wildcats last win was against the Trojans on January 6 in New Prague when they recorded a 4-0 shut out.
