Moorhead Falls To Roseau 6-1 In Section 8AA Final
The Roseau Rams will be headed back to the Minnesota State Tournament to defend their 2007 State Championship after defeating Moorhead Wednesday night in front of 3,393 fans at Ralph Engelsted Arena in Thief River Falls. The Spuds fell behind early after a Roseau goal by Nick Oliver but they hung in the game while being outshot 18-0 at one point late of the first period.

The game was then hotly contested with heavy physical play and numerous clashes in front of both teams nets before Roseau scored at 8:25 in the second period on a goal by Ben Nelson. The Rams then took a penalty putting the Spuds on the power play yet Roseau controlled the puck and scored a short handed unassisted goal by Dustin Moser making it 3-1 which seemed to take much of the steam from the Spuds. Moorhead continued to battle with heavy hitting and attacking the net outshooting the Rams in the second period 11 to 6 but could not capitalize on their chances ending the season with a 14-10-3 mark. Roseau improves to 28-0 and will start State Tournament play next Thursday in St. Paul.
