Junior attacker Derek Todd closed out the half with Edina’s fourth goal of the second quarter, while junior goalie Austin Dover only allowed one goal, leaving Edina up 7-4 at the half.

Edina scored another four times in the third quarter, while Edina’s defense and goalie mostly locked out the Royals, only allowing two goals.

The Hornets closed out the game with three goals in the final quarter, while Hopkins again scored two.

Dover stopped 10 of 18 shots fired by the Royals, while Todd scored eight goals. Junior Willie Dugan won 16 of 25 faceoffs, helping Edina control the ball.
