The Bottineau 19U hockey team split a pair of weekend games on the road, as they were able to beat Watford City 10-2 on Saturday, but fell 3-2 at the hands of Bismarck on Sunday.

First on Saturday Ashley Blue exploded to score nine of Bottineau’s 10 goals in a 10-2 victory over Watford City. Seven of the nine goals were unassisted.

Natalie Bahr added a goal and an assist and Morgan Klebe had two assists in the victory.

Goalie Jacie Ceglowksi had 19 saves in 21 opportunities.

The win was Bottineau’s 10th of the season.
Bottineau wasn’t as lucky in Sunday’s contest against Bismarck.

Bottineau fell behind in the first period 1-0 after a McKenzie Carlson goal for Bismarck.

Blue tied the game at one at 11:57 in the first period with an unassisted marker.

However, two straight goals from Bismarck in the second period gave them the lead back 3-1 entering the final frame. The first of the two goals was a shorthanded breakaway goal by Laura Laber.

Blue scored another unassisted goal in the final period to draw Bottineau within one, but Bottineau was unable to tie the game.

Ceglowksi had an excellent game in net stopping 32 Bismarck shots, but Bottineau was out shot 35-20 in the contest.

Bottineau is now 10-3 on the season. The loss snapped a nine game winning streak for Bottineau, who hadn’t lost since a Dec. 4 defeat against Crosby.

Bottineau will take part in the Jamestown Jamboree this upcoming weekend beginning on Jan. 20.

Note:

• Blue now has 47 points on the season in 13 games — 41 goals and six assists.
