The Robins finished off another highly successful adapted floor hockey regular season tonight with a 10-4 win over the Anoka-Hennepin Mustangs.

Sam Roles and Calvin Gerdt each had 2 goals and 1 assist. Maddie Ausk scored 1 goal while Izear Joiner and Marcus Brady each had 1 assist. Hayley Engebretsen made 31 saves.

An unselfish approach by all team members also was evident, as the Robins racked up 10 assists with their 13 goals. Hat-tricks were recorded by Sam Roles, Izear Joiner and Calvin Gerdt, with Gerdt and Roles also collecting 2 assists each. Marcus Brady had 2 goals and 1 assist, Vincent Lyy had 1 goal and 1 assist and Madelyn Ausk had 1 goal and 3 assists. Hayley Engebretsen made 12 saves.

On Monday afternoon, the Robins made their annual trek north to face off against the Brainerd Warriors. The Warriors were undefeated coming into this match-up, and for good reason. Their depth and firepower were simply too much for the Robins, as they cruised to a 10-5 victory. The loss put an end to the Robins’ four game winning streak. This game was relatively close through the first period, with the Robins trailing 3-1. There were a couple significant missed opportunities for the Robins in the opening period that could have made a difference in the game’s intensity heading into the second period. The Warriors opened the second period with four goals in less than five minutes to put the game out of reach. Jordan O’Donnell and Sam Roles were credited with assists for the Robins, while Brendan Bosker-Elliott had 1 goal, Vincent Luu had 2 goals and 1 assist and Calvin Gerdt had 2 goals and 2 assists. Hayley Engebretsen made 20 saves while Darius Larson blocked 6 shots and Ethan Sullivan blocked 4.
