Girls' JV Hockey Opens Season With a Loss

The JV Girls' Hockey team traveled to Hotchkiss for their season opener.  Up against a larger and more seasoned Bearcats team, the Lady Mustangs took the ice knowing that they had a lot of work ahead of them.  In the first period, the Hotchkiss team's skill and experience resulted in 30 shots on goal.  Amber Koenigsberger, in her first ever game as a goalie, turned away 21 of those shots.  Millbrook gave up two more goals in the second period and went into the third trailing 9-0.  The girls worked hard, constantly hustling and showing terrific determination.  With five minutes left in the game, Makenzie Scheerer chipped the puck out of the defensive zone to a streaking Emma Feitelson.  Feitelson outraced the Bearcat defensive player to create a breakaway.  Emma scored on her 5th shot of the game, breaking the shutout.  Koenigsberger finished the game with 34 saves.
