The Korah Colts edged the CASS Huskies in a tightly contested Sault Ste. Marie Girls High School Hockey League matchup on Monday afternoon at the Rankin Arena. Victoria Elliott’s two-goal performance proved to be the difference in the Colts’ 2-1 victory.

With the clock winding down in the final frame, Elliott struck again, sinking her second goal of the game to put the Colts ahead 2-1, sealing the victory.
