The Keweenaw Storm girls team traveled to Mosinee, WI over the weekend to open their season against Team Wisconsin.

Starting off slow after being on the ice for only a few weeks and not having a full team practice before going into the series, Team Wisconsin outshot the Storm and rolled to a 4-1 victory.

In the second game of the day, the Storm began to look like a team that made it to a National Championship last season. The shots were virtually even, 26-26, but the Storm came out on top defeating Team Wisconsin 3-2 for their first win of the season.
