Megan Danczyk goes for the ball in a league match with Libby.
Whitefish kept the pedal to the metal Tuesday and fended off the Libby Lady Loggers with a 9-3 conference win. The victory marked the Lady Bulldog’s ninth consecutive win and seventh in the league.
After the ‘Dogs scored four unanswered goals in the first half, Libby stormed out of the break with three goals in 13 minutes. With the pressure on, the ‘Dogs responded with five goals to close out the match.
“It’s good to see how they reacted,” Whitefish coach Erin Morrison said.
Natalie Gayner tallied three goals and an assist to lead the team. Presley Pritchard and Karissa DeMarco scored two goals each. Sam Dittman added four assists and a goal.
Whitefish has a showdown with rival Columbia Falls on Saturday. The ‘Kats are riding a six-game winning streak.
