Gillespie’s third-period goal put the defending state champion Zephyrs (19-8-2) ahead 3-0 and came off a feed from linemate John Hirschfeld, who alertly grabbed the rebound of his initial shot and fed a wide-open Gillespie in front.

Volkman, on a rush with Trey Fredenberg into the Hill-Murray defensive zone, elected to shoot and whistled a high shot over the shoulder of Pioneers goaltender Grayson Hanggi to end it.

Rosemount senior defenseman Josh Toll left Saturday afternoon’s 5-3 victory at Farmington with a couple of zeros on the scoresheet. As in zero goals, zero assists.
But Rosemount coach Rick Saintey wasn’t taking that as gospel. “I’d be surprised if he didn’t have any (goals or assists),” Saintey said. “He certainly was on the ice for a few of (the goals).”
Don’t fault the Irish coach for being a doubting Thomas.
