Mitchell Ends Lady Caps 3-Game Win Streak

The Oahe Lady Capitals were looking to extend their 3-game winning streak at home on Saturday against the winless Mitchell Marlins.  Instead, the Marlins picked up their first league win of the season in convincing fashion by the score of 10-5.

The teams battled evenly for the first two periods and Amy Gilkerson’s second goal of the game just 1:19 into the third period tied the score at 5-5.  But the visiting Marlins ran off 5 straight goals to end the period on their way to the 10-5 victory.

In addition to Gilkerson’s two goals, the Lady Caps were led by three goals from Destiny Barry. For Mitchell, Kyle Barrington scored four goals and Kaihlen Smith contributed two goals and two assists.

The same two teams will faceoff tomorrow at 4:00 at the Expo Center in Ft. Pierre.
