FIRST HALF –
The first half was an outstanding back-and-forth battle as each team had several top-notch scoring opportunities. The first shot towards goal was by Pelican Rapids when they had a slow rolling shot on goal in the first three minutes of the half. Crookston answered 45 seconds later with a shot on goal, but the Viking goalkeeper made the save.
Crookston started controlling play, and with over seven minutes gone in the half, the Pirates’ Brooklyn Waldal placed a corner kick in front of the net. One of the Pirates blasted a shot on goal, but the Vikings keeper made the save to keep the game scoreless.
Pelican Rapids came back about six minutes later and had a shot on goal, but Kambree Wangen made a sliding save. There weren’t any big scoring chances for the next 15 minutes or so when it looked like Pelican Rapids scored the first goal of the game, but offside was called, and the game was still scoreless over halfway through the half.
With 9:02 left in the half, Pelican Rapids looked like they had another goal but offide was called and the game remained scoreless and that is how the first half ended, with a 0-0 tie.
