Northwestern's Cole Lahti joined the parade of 1,000-point scorers throughout the Northland on Friday night, Feb. 3, in the Tigers' 104-67 home rout of Ashland.

Lahti didn't waste much time getting the mark, as he only needed seven points but finished with 29. He wasn't the only one filling up the stat sheet, as Jase Nelson (21 points, 13 assists) and Luke Sedin (20 points, 12 rebounds) had concurrent double-doubles. Northwestern led 57-27 at the half.

The Tigers, who also got 14 points from Boden Teal and 10 from Trevor Eliason, are 15-1 on the season and 12-0 in the Heart O'North Conference.

Two Harbors' Trent Gomez was too hot for the Rebels to handle on Friday night, scoring 38 points as the 19th-ranked Agates won in Willow River.

It was a two-point game at the half, but Two Harbors held MLWR to just 24 points after the break.

Isiah Hietala finished with 14 points for the Agates (15-2), winners of six straight, while Adam Neumann's 19 led the Rebels (11-8).

A 28-point game from Isaiah Kastern helped the Eagles see off a pesty squad of Castle Guards on Friday night in Solon Springs.

The Eskomos prevailed in a defensive struggle, getting 13 points from Hannah Swanson.

The wins on back-to-back nights for Esko raises their record to 12-6 going into a tough clash with Superior on Monday night at home.

Alyssa Sadlasky's 16 led the Pioneers.

The Thunderhawks were stymied in their bid to improve their standing in Section 7AA, as they were held to Jacob Garski's single goal in a loss at Andover Community Center.

Rapids had just three shots on goal in the first period but remained unscathed until Gavyn Thoreson's power play goal at 2:09 of the second period. Garski's goal came 54 seconds after Cayden Casey made it 2-0 Andover late in the second period.

Thoreson added a second goal in the third period before a Huskies empty netter.

Myles Gunderson made 34 saves for Rapids (11-9-1), while Cal Conway stopped 23 shots for the Huskies (16-5-1), ranked No. 4 in the state in Class AA.

A late winner from the Warriors' Kade Stengrim, his second goal of the third period, proved decisive on Friday night in Brainerd.

Rock Ridge couldn't make an early 2-0 lead stick but Kasey Lamppa's second goal of the game gave the Wolverines a 3-2 lead going to the third period, but Stengrim tied it at 3:17 and scored the winner with 52 seconds to play.

Levi Maki made 20 saves for the Wolverines (12-6-1).

Two early goals were enough cushion for the Storm to get a win on the road at Iron Trail Motors Event Center on Friday night.
