The Lightning struck early and often, scoring 4 times in the first.

At 6:13, Stepan fed Bordson at the left circle. Bordson moved to the net and hit Chloe Benadum at the edge of the crease where Benadum tickled the twine. At 8:08, Laney Dwinnell carried the puck out of the Lightning’s zone and hit Betsy Bjerke who was flying at the red line. Bjerke carried the puck into the Lakers’ zone and fed Jessica Wilhelm in front of the net where she stuffed the puck past the goalie at the near post. Finally, at 9:46, Kelley intercepted a Lakers’ pass at the point, moved toward the net and found Avery Chesek at the edge of the crease for the tap in. The Lakers scored late and the period ended 4-1. Shots were 17-12.
There was no scoring in the second. The shots were 25-18.
At 2:15 of the third, Kelley had the puck deep in the Lakers’ zone and moved it to Larissa Hafley at the point. Hafley found Chesek at the right circle and Chesek drove to the net and pin-pointed a laser past the Lakers’ goalie. The final score, 5-1, shots 39-24. Lauren Johnson was strong in the net for the Lightning.
The win moves the Lightning’s record to 17-6-2.

A NIGHT OF ANCIENT TALES- EASTVIEW’S WINTER AND ONE ACT PLAYS
Join us for a Night of Ancient Tales, as Eastview’s Performing Arts Department presents two plays; Antigone and Tales From Odysseus.
Performance dates are February 20, 21, and 22 at 7PM in the Eastview Performing Arts Center. All tickets are general admission and are available at the Box Office starting one hour before showtime. Ticket prices are Adults: $7 and Senior Citizens/Students: $5.
Antigone:
It takes guts to stand up to the most powerful man in the country. Especially when you’re 15. After both of her brothers kill each other in opposing sides of a war, Antigone dares to defy her uncle, King Creon, by burying her ‘traitor’ brother. When Creon discovers that Antigone has performed the burial despite his command, he orders her to be walled up in a cave alive thus starving her to death. Creon does not listen to the pleadings of Ismene, Antigone’s sister, nor his son Haemon, who is engaged to Antigone. Haemon goes to Antigone’s cave, sees that she has hung herself and kills himself as well. Hearing this, his mother also takes her own life at the fateful end of this Greek tragedy.
The Search For Odysseus:
The Search for Odysseus tells the story of the Odyssey, from the point of view of Telemachus, his son. After the Trojan War, Odysseus does not return with the other soldiers, and Telemachus sets out to find him and in so doing embarks on a voyage of self discovery.
