Hellgate bounces Bravettes
MISSOULA — Missoula Hellgate ended Flathead’s season on Tuesday, beating the Bravettes 4-0 in a Class AA state playoff game.
Andi Carnes had a goal and an assist for the Knights, who exploded for three goals after halftime to run away with the final score.
“It was an amazing season with so many close games,” Flathead coach Jenni Sipe said. “For anyone who looks at the record, it just doesn’t define what I think is the type of season we had. This team is going to be dangerous in future years.”
The Knights advance to play Glacier in another playoff game on Friday. The Wolfpack won both of the meetings earlier this year, topping Hellgate 5-0 in Kalispell and 2-0 on the road.
Flathead outshot Hellgate on goal 12-10, but the Bravettes were unable to convert their opportunities as the Knights did.
