By Mark HaugenThe Luverne offense exploded for its highest output of the season to rout Fairmont 10-2 Thursday in girls hockey and run its win streak to four. Luverne, 4-2, raced to a 5-0 lead before Fairmont netted its two and then the Cardinals finished them off with five more.Sadie Dietrich hammered in four goals for Luverne, while Natalie Domagala netted three goals and had four assists. "Defensively we’re finally starting to play a little better and working on our positions," Coach Dave Siebenahler said."We had kind of a letdown in the second period, but the girls really put it together for the third period and played a pretty good game."Seventh-grader Paige Olson, ninth-grader Natalie Morgan and seventh-grader Katie Dahl each scored goals as well."We got some scoring out of some of the younger girls, which is really good to build their confidence," he said. "Sadie and Natalie are playing pretty good together, passing the puck well. They see each other so well and really know how to find the net. They really work well together."Sarah Schneekloth stopped 28 shots in goal. "Sarah is doing great in net," Siebenahler said. "You can hardly beat that at all."Luverne has a rematch with Sioux Falls Blue on Thursday in the Blue Mound Ice Arena, where they lost 5-3 to Blue in the second game of the season."The girls want to get back and get that win against them," Siebenahler said."Hopefully if we get a lead against Sioux Falls we can keep it. We’ve improved since we played them last. Hopefully that will motivate the girls."The Cardinals then go back on the road Saturday at Benson/Morris and return home Tuesday to face Windom."We’ve still got a ways to go and a lot of things to work on, but the girls are working hard and trying to improve every game."ScoringLuverne 4 1 5 – 10Fairmont 0 2 0 – 2
