SPECIAL K FINALE: It was a curtain call for the Cobber Special K scoring machine. All three of the Cobbers' goals were netted by a player whose first name begins with the letter K. Kalli Baarstad got the game winner and also had an assist on CC's second goal. Karsen Granning opened the scoring when she found the back of the net at 10:53. Kirsten Bokinskie then doubled the Cobber lead with a goal at the 32:10 mark.
