Rising from a sophomore unable to secure a varsity spot to a senior captain taught Proctor/Hermantown forward Kaitlyn Fawcett about resiliency.

Fawcett showed some by scoring the deciding goal in a 3-2 overtime victory against Rochester Lourdes in the last Class 1A quarterfinal Wednesday at Xcel Energy Center.

Fawcett's goal sends her Mirage to Friday’s semifinals to face No. 1-ranked and undefeated Warroad.

No. 4 seed Proctor/Hermantown (19-7-3) went ahead 1-0 on a first-period goal from sophomore forward Aurora Opsahl.

Less than two minutes into the second period, Rochester Lourdes senior forward Clara Billings tied the game 1-1 on her 34th goal of the season.
