Now that’s how you bounce back.
Following Thursday’s rough loss to Pioneer, the Dexter hockey team hit the ice on Saturday at The Vet in Ann Arbor and responded with an 8-0 win over Huron.
It almost a perfect game for the Dreadnaughts, who rang up eight goals, pitched a shutout, went 2 for 2 on the power play and was 2 for 2 killing penalties. They may have even earned a day off – but probably not considering there is a lot of ice time to make up with the delayed start.
Dexter goalie Amanda Crundwell had 11 saves to post the clean sheet.
