They were working overtime, but couldn’t quite take care of business.
The Muskie boys’ hockey squad had to come back four different times to salvage a 4-4 overtime tie against the host Dryden Eagles in NorWOSSA action last night.
David Pierce scored twice for the Muskies (3-0-1) to bump his team-high total to nine for the season. Steven Sus and Lucas Romaniuk added a goal each.
Meanwhile, the bumpy road for the Muskie girls’ hockey team threw another unkind pothole in the squad’s way as the Eagles thumped Fort High 9-0 up there last night.
The Muskies (0-2) have yet to score in NorWOSSA play, and that task won’t get any easier with the loss of forward Kristin Roehrig to an arm injury after she took a hit in the second period last night.
Roehrig scored the Muskies’ lone goal in a 2-1 exhibition loss to the Lake of the Woods (Baudette) Bears here Friday night. On a brighter note, Fort High did earn a 3-1 exhibition victory Monday night against the host Roseau Rams.
Hannah Firth registered a goal and an assist while Krystine Marchuk and Stephanie Strachan added singles in that one.
