An improbable goal from the Pioneers’ Ryan Furne ends the first period in the state championship game.  With the crowd yelling “SHOOOOOOT!” as time ticked down, Furne threw a wrister on net from outside the blue line - which somehow found its way through Derrick Caschetta with 0.1 seconds on the clock.

The shot didn’t appear to get deflected or come through a screen - Caschetta just missed it.  Tough goal to give up for the Hornets.

Edina has had trouble figuring out their defensive-zone breakout - they’re sending two forwards deep every time, but Hill-Murray is backchecking and breaking up every long pass attempt.

Shots are 15-9 in favor of the Pioneers, who have had the better chances in the period.
