LUVERNE — Madisyn Dingman led the undefeated Luverne Cardinals with two goals and an assist in a win over the Morris/Benson Area Storm Saturday in a Southwest Conference girls hockey game.

Ellen Dahl gave Luverne its first lead of the game with less than 30 seconds left in the period to take a 3-2 lead into the intermission.

Morris/Benson Area netted its third goal of the game, this time from Emily Walz, in the second period to tie it up at three. The Storm was also able to hold the Cardinals off the board in the period.

Luverne came out shooting in the third period, taking 19 shots on goal and scoring three unanswered goals to take back the lead for good. Dingmann, Carly Serie, and Monique Aanenson all had goals for the Cardinals in the third, while the Luverne defense held Morris-Benson to just two shots on goal.

The Cardinals (7-0) put their perfect season on line Friday when they host the Marshall Tigers.
