Monday night was a big night for The Seifert Sisters as Lex scored six goals and Maddy added three to lead the Hutchinson Tigers to a 16-8 win over the host St. Louis Park Orioles.
It was the eighth straight win for the Tigers, who have not lost a game since they fell to the Orono Spartans 9-6 in the season opener on April 17.
Maddy Seifert struck early for Hutchinson, scoring from the right side :14 into the game. St. Louis Park tied the game at one when Talia Simonett scored on a free shot. The Tigers quickly regained the lead as Ellie Larson centered Olivia Hanson and she scored from the left side. Hanson would score her second goal from the center slot and the Orioles cut the lead to one as Anna Roethler raced down the field like traffic on Minnetonka Blvd., cut through a pair of Hutchinson defenders and scored. Lex Seifert would score the next two goals to put the Tigers ahead by three. Roethler would score her second goal just like her first, going through two Hutchinson defenders and found an opening on the left side of freshman goalie Laina Berthiaume that enabled her to put the ball in the net. Lex Seifert would set up the next Tiger goal as she passed to Larson and she would score. Simonett would pick up her second goal with 3:10 left in the half and Hutchinson would lead 6-4 at halftime.
There would be good news for the Orioles in the second half when Roethler would pick up the hat trick 1:03 into the half. It would be the only bright spot for St. Louis Park since Hutchinson would send the fans home happy down Highway 7 with five unanswered goals. Larson would open the scoring for Hutchinson. Lex Seifert scored on a free shot then she centered the ball to Maddy Seifert for the next goal. Then it was Lex Seifert's turn to tally as she scored from the center slot. But it wasn't just the Seiferts that figured into the scorebook on this rainy Monday night. Ally Harlander fed Maddy Maday and she would score :25 later. The Orioles would end the Tigers run at five on Sarah McCalllon's goal. She would score her second goal after Larson picked up the hat trick for Hutchinson. Larson picked up her fourth goal on a free shot. Lex Seifert picked up her fifth goal with 3:05 left in the game.
There was plenty of scoring in the game's final minute. Maddy Seifert scored for the Tigers on an underhanded shot with :33.9 to go and Simonett got the hat trick off a pass from Roethler with :17.4 to play. The Seiferts wrapped up the scoring as Lex got a pass from Maddy and scored as the horn sounded to end the game.
Both teams return to action against the Chaska Hawks in Chaska. Hutchinson improved their record to 8-1 will play the Hawks on Thursday, May 11 at 7 PM. St. Louis Park falls to 2-4 and will make the trip down Highway 212 to Chaska on Tuesday, May 9, also a 7 PM start.
