A consistent night for the Hill-Murray offense was the difference in a 4-0 win against Academy of Holy Angels in a matchup of highly-ranked teams.

Tuesday's game in Richfield featured two teams ranked No. 2 in the Let’s Play Hockey coaches’ polls—the Stars in Class 1A and Pioneers in 2A. Hill-Murray's offense stood out, as they scored at least one goal in each period Tuesday and outshot the Stars (19-4-1, 10-1-0) by 19.

Take one glance at the schedule, however, and you might notice the offense has not been the only driving force in many of Hill-Murray's wins. The Pioneers (19-2-1, 4-0-0) have allowed less than one goal per game on average this season. Tuesday’s shutout by goaltender Grace Zhan, who made 19 saves, was her eighth of the year.
