First Half
Right after the first draw, there was not a doubt in anyone’s mind that Oak Hall had it in the bag. They took an early 3-0 lead in the first 3 minutes of the half, led by their electric young offense who made easy work of slicing and dicing the Forest defense.

Oak Hall Defense
The offense isn’t the only part of the team to credit though. The goaltending by the Eagles tonight was outstanding. Goaltender Madeline Paquette end her afternoon with a 61 percent save rate; her great skills in front of the net were a major part of her team’s victory tonight.
