THREE STARS
1. Jackson Savoie, St. Cloud Cathedral, senior
The 6-2 speedster extended his torrid tournament scoring pace, notching two goals — including the game-winner — to give him four for the tournament and 22 this season.
2. Noah Amundson, St. Cloud Cathedral, senior
The Crusaders were outshot for the second consecutive game, but Amundson was his usual razor-sharp self, making 27 saves.
3. Jack Smith, St. Cloud Cathedral, junior
Scored a backbreaker late in the second period, rifling a shot high into the net to give the Crusaders a two-goal cushion. He also assisted on Nate Warner's empty-netter.
