Chanhassen Storm Rains on SLP Orioles Parade

Though there was no rain pelting the turf field at St. Louis Park, the Orioles net was raining hat tricks from Kelly Walstad,  Livie Saatzer  and Erica Peterson to lead the Chanhassen Storm to an 18-4 win over the host Orioles Tuesday night.

It was the fifth win in six games for the Storm.  Their only loss in that stretch was 17-10 to the Minnetonka Skippers on May 12.

Chanhassen opened the first half scoring on Walstad's first goal that came on a centering pass from Peterson.  St. Louis Park would tie the game on Talia Simonett's goal from the right side.  That was the only good news for the Orioles in the first half.  The bad news came as the Storm would score eight unanswered goals.  Walstad , Saatzer and Peterson  would account for six goals.  Saatzer's second goal would come on a centering pass from Abby Anderson.  Also tallying for Chanhassen were Emma Silbernagel and Maddie Waldron.  St. Louis park would end Chanhassen's run with two consecutive goals from Simonett.  The Storm would add two more goals to their ledge as Kayler Loubser would tally and Maddie Waldrom wrapped up the first half scoring with :02.1 remaining to give Chanhassen a 11-3 halftime lead.

Erica Peterson would strike early for the Storm, scoring on a free shot :38 into the second half.  Rowan Hodgins would score Chanhassen's next two goals, the second came on an assist from Peterson.  Elle Wagner would also score on a free shot.  As the game went on to running time, Waldron received a pass from Silbernagel and she sent the ball toward the net.  The Orioles would get a break that would result in their next goal.  SJ centered the ball to Anna Roethler and she went up field, going through the defense and she was fouled inside and awarded a free shot.  Roethler would aim the ball into the net, ending the Storm's run at five.  But before the Storm would begin a long bus ride down Highway 212, they would conclude the scoring with two more goals.  The first would come from Grace Doerring and Wagner would conclude the scoring with 5:40 left in the game.

Chanhassen improves their record to 7-2 and heads to Orono on Wednesday, May 17 for a 6:30 game against the Spartans.  St. Louis Park drops to 3-5 and hosts the Duluth Wolfpack on Thursday, May 18 at 7 PM.  It will also be Senior Night as six Oriole seniors will be honored prior to the start of the game.
