Dec. 13 - Camden Hills 3, Presque Isle 0

Enroth said of the game: “[It was a] [h]ard fought game and just the opposite from the night before against Houlton as we really had to earn this win. Presque Isle showed a lot of hustle and determination throughout the game and their goalie Jillian Flynn was tough to beat tonight. We worked hard to get some quality chances throughout the game but Flynn was seeing the puck well and making the saves. Our defensive-men, led by Czuhra, Tassoni, and Prescott, logged a lot of minutes and Zach Hand was once again very steady in net making a couple of great saves that we needed when the game was in doubt.”

The Windjammers had 32 shots on the net, while Presque Isle racked up 19. 

Zach Hand had 19 saves in the net for the Windjammers, while Flynn had 29 saves. 

Camden Hills had eight minor penalties which resulted in 16 minutes, while Presque Isle had seven minor penalties and a major penalty, resulting in 24 total minutes in the box. 

Neither team could capitilize on power play opportunites as the Windjammers went 0-for-4, while Presque Isle went 0-for-3. 

The game also marked the third straight shut-out for the Windjammers.
