Chaska High School

Minnetonka, Prior Lake and Chaska were three of the 10 boys swim and dive teams competing in the Gold Division of the Maroon & Gold Invitational on Saturday at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center.

Minnetonka senior Evan Lee-To won two events as the Skippers finished third in the team standings behind Edina and Mercer Island, Wash.

Lee-To won the 100-yard freestyle race with a time of 47.82, and took first in the 100 breaststroke with 58.52.

Lee-To also led off the Skipper 200 freestyle relay team of Dane Oberman, Austin Sarna and Jake Hausauer to a third-place swim

Lakeville North waited until the last second to top Chaska on Saturday night.

The Panthers scored the winning goal with 4 seconds left in the game to notch a 3-2 victory at the Chaska Community Center.

Chaska junior Alex Athmann tied the game in the first period with his second goal of the season, from Alex Robb and Jake Erickson.

The Panthers struck back a minute later to retake the lead.

Dan Pries knotted the game again in the third period with a power-play goal, the fifth of the season for the Chaska senior.

Chaska's girls hockey team poured on the offense for a 6-1 victory over Bloomington Jefferson on Saturday night at the Bloomington Ice Garden.

The Hawks started from the get-go, as a wristshot by junior defender Catie Ladner from the right point zinged into the net less than 2 minutes into the game.

Hawk junior Lexi Buelow was credited with an assist on the play.

Buelow set up a second score 4 minutes later, with a pass from the corner to sophomore Anna Spillers, who knocked it into the net from the crease. Sophomore wing Mercede Davis also picked up an assist.

Chaska senior Pat Smith came as close as a wrestler can get to a championship - without winning it.

Smith fell 3-2 to Jarrett Jensen of Rapid City (S.D.) Stevens in the championship of the 152-pound weight bracket at the Rumble on the Red tournament in Fargo, N.D.

Hawk junior R.J. Hallman took eighth place at 112. He went 5-3 at the two-day tournament.

Chaska sophomore Gavin Larsen won five of seven matches to place seventh at 119.

One good tournament deserves another.

Jena Wilder, Rachel Ramsey and Shelby Tuseth scored first period goals and Minnetonka rolled from there for a 5-0 Schwan Cup girls’ blue division championship game victory Wednesday over Eagan, played at Ridder Arena.

Emily Meese added a goal in the second period and Rachel Ramsey scored her second goal of the game in the final period to finish the scoring.

Julie Friend made 21 saves and notched the shutout victory in goal for the Skippers.
