Despite a late start, the Bloomington Kennedy Eagles ended their losing streak with a 10 goal outburst from Susan Monson that led them to a 15-14 win over the host St. Louis Park Orioles Tuesday evening.
The game was delayed 51 minutes because the officials were late to the St. Louis Park stadium.
The Orioles broke out of the starting gate on Abby Meyer's goal :10 into the game. Emilia Johnson scored :27 later and Ryan Rasmussen made a spin move toward the crease and sent the ball to the net that game St. Louis Park a three goal lead. Would a three goal lead be safe in the early going? Not so, according to Monson as she wiped out the lead with four consecutive goals, displaying quickness and outstanding stickhandling. Monson would set up the next Kennedy goal as she fired a pass to Sarah Conzemius and she sent it to the net. But Monson would find the net again :19 later. The Orioles would score three straight goals to tie the game as Rasmussen scored her second consecutive goal. Then Margaux Pollock centered the ball to Lilly Fandel Thompson and she would tally :23 later. Lilly Fandel Thompson would set up Rasmussen's hat trick goal and she tied the game at six. The Eagles would regain the lead on Kaysawn Carlson's center slot goal. The scoring would go back and forth. First Johnson would score for the Orioles than :19 after that the Eagles got a goal from Sophia Nelson. Rasmussen would spin like the wheel of fortune toward the net to score her fourth goal. Monson would add to her goal total with 1:29 left in the half followed by Meyer with :25.9 to go. Monson struck again with :06.9 in the half to give Kennedy a 10-9 halftime lead.
Rasmussen would achieve a double hat trick in the second half with the Orioles first two goals to put them ahead 11-10. Monson and Carlson would vault the Eagles back into the lead. Another member of the Fandel Thompson family would enter the scorebook. This time it was seventh grader Gretchen Fandel Thompson as she caught a pass from Jarrielyz Lopez-Barrera and fired it into the net. Monson would score her ninth goal on a pass from Nelson. Rasmussen would score her seventh goal to even the score at 13. Kennedy would get back into the lead on goals from Nelson and Monson as she scored for the tenth time. St. Louis Park would cut the lead to one on Lopez-Barrera's goal with 1:53 left but the Eagles ran out the clock to preserve the victory.
Kennedy improved their record to 1-8 and will head down Highway 212 to Chaska on Tuesday, May 18 to face the Hawks at 7 PM. St. Louis Park fell to 3-5 and will host the Visitation Blazers on Thursday, May 13 at 4:30 PM. The game was rescheduled from April 13 due to busing issues with Visitation.
