Austin Packers girls’ hockey shut out by Owatonna Monday evening 5-0

The Austin Packers girls’ hockey team was on the road at Owatonna Monday evening to take on a Huskies squad battling for the Big 9 Conference title with Northfield, and Olivia Herzog scored two goals to help lead Owatonna to a 5-0 win.

Herzog was one of four different goal scorers for the Huskies in the first period as Owatonna outshot the Packers in the game 43-5.  Austin goaltender Shelby Davidson turned aside 38 of the 43 shots she faced, while Huskies netminder Ava Wolfe made five saves to earn the shutout win.
