The Wasilla Warriors can call their win over a rival Tuesday night a team effort.

Four of those goals were unanswered. Richard Strick gave the Warriors the eventual game-winner with a dozen minutes left in the second period. Strick’s goal came just more than a minute after Palmer’s Parker Popowski knotted the game at 1, with his team’s lone goal of the game.

Branson Hagel and Easton Styers added second-period goals for the Warriors. Dylan Mead rounded out the scoring for Wasilla with a power play goal in the third.

Chase Malstrom also scored with the man advantage in the first for Wasilla.

Elijah Barcelona led Wasilla with three assists.
