Whitefish 6, Libby 0
WHITEFISH — Anna Cook scored a season-high four goals in a shutout of the Libby Loggers.
“I think that the wind and the fact that Libby is more organized and progessed over the years under the coaching of Erik Capan, it could have forced a lot tighter game than we saw,” Whitefish coach Roland Benedict said. “Thanks to the goal scoring efforts of Anna Cook ... We were able to control the game until the last whistle.”
